A history of high-paid Western grifters in Myanmar - Asia Times Myanmar’s rebranded State Security and Peace Commission (SSPC) has announced elections for December 28, in a flurry of domestic dictatorial reformation.

To be fair, Mathieson does not provide any evidence to substantiate his claims.

Nothing new under the sun; but good to have such kind of report by @tninstitute.bsky.social on “grey” areas on the #Myanmar society and economy.

2 - We were told that some Western countries thought it would be a good idea to support AA resuming tourism in #Ngapali to support “the” revolution.

You have to be delusional to think it is a smart idea.

1 - @fortifyrights.bsky.social is doing fantastic work in #Rakhine on the atrocities committed against the Rohingya people who are suffering between Scylla and Charybdis.

Myanmar military junta using European technology for drone attacks, report says Junta obtained ‘anti-jamming’ product made in Europe through a Chinese company, research finds, triggering calls for tighter sanctions

#Myanmar now ranks third globally for drone events — behind only Ukraine & Russia — as the junta ramps up investment to counter opposition forces.

Leaked U.S. State Department Human Rights Report Reveals Alarming Omissions on Global Violations This year’s report has been manipulated by the Trump administration to not accurately reflect the ongoing and grave violations of human rights, and that’s deeply troubling.

Let’s make an assumption.

The junta hired a lobbying firm to remove Kyaw Moe Tun as the #Myanmar UN permanent representative.

This report from @amnesty.org tells us that the Trump administration seems to care as much as Min Aung Hlaing about human rights.

Why Cambodia Is Losing the Information War With Thailand The lack of an independent press has made it hard for the government to communicate its side of the story.

The skew in global perception of the Cambodia-Thailand conflict stems from a fact closer to home: namely, that Cambodia doesn’t have a free press.

As we had time to kill, we listened to two recent episodes of @insightmyanmar.bsky.social - quite boring.

The host is not a journalist, I get it. But gosh, spending 40+ minutes with Turnell to get banalities, misleading and half-baked insights, and complacency—thanks but no thanks.

And much less bullish than his messages on FB and elsewhere.

Are EAOs liable against International Laws due to the destruction and pollution induced by their (lack of) governance?

In addition to this, we have new laws enacted now (Cybersecurity and Elections), the end of the State of Emergency, a 40% tariff on exports to the US, some crap around rare earths, etc. Business as usual.

This is the case in other areas, too. Civilians are caught between armed groups, and no good option but to suffer.

Of course, the situation for the Rohingya is unacceptable and tragic — their suffering is immense.

Leverage, did you say leverage?

#WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

The US lifted some targeted #sanctions against some entities and individuals.

What will other partners do?

Looking forward to seeing @special-council.bsky.social and @justiceformyanmar.org reactions.

His letter for #Myanmar is not for the NUG…

Reading the reactions to Trump’s letter to MAH is quite funny and pathetic.

Sean Turnell is leading the pack on this, as he did after the recent article published by @economist.com

MYANMAR: "It is the first known polio case in Myanmar since 2019."

"those on the ground said the protracted conflict may make it difficult to trace the virus"

"The worst part of the situation is that these are absolutely vaccine preventable"

Why?

Indeed.

Not sure if Putin and his galaxy of vassals is a smart move.

This week on Frontier’s podcast What's Happening in Myanmar, coup leader Min Aung Hlaing heads to Belarus after a peace performance, and Frontier Myanmar journalist Ya Nwe talks about the wider gains for workers from the Tsang Yih strike last month.

Kudos to @frontiermyanmar.bsky.social team!

Indeed.

When did you take this?

Yesterday, #Myanmar experts had a unique opportunity to showcase their credibility by posting a picture with Amay Su.
