🙏Thank you @Hitoshi Kameyama for donating his highly valuable book to SEA Junction.

Burma/ Myanmar: Memories of War 2019-2024 is a look into the war-torn #Myanmar and the impact on its people since the outbreak of #civilwar, including his personal connection to Myanmar and the people.

Thank you for the book donation to SEA Junction by Father Giovanni Contarin!

For those who have old copies of books relevant to SEA studies, you can donate to us for the library.

SEA Junction is excited to announce that the initial screening of the Small Grant Program “Staying Resilient Amidst Multiple Crisis in Earthquake-Struck Myanmar” has been completed! We hope to make the final announcement in the next few weeks.

Ongoing bipartisan support of the Myanmar people from the US is ongoing. However, the Trump administration and international governments need to take into account how their business interest are impacting the people and to continue to prioritize the safety of the people and democracy.

Death of political prisoners reveled the horrifying reality of prisons and detention centers which needs further investigation. There are over 22,000 political prisoners in Myanmar today. #WhatsHappeninginMyanmar

She also shared concern on the recent cooperation between the Thai air force and Myanmar air force, when it knows well that the Myanmar air force continues to carry out airstrike on the civilian. #WhatsHappeninginMyanmar

@khinohmar.bsky.social still has hope for the ASEAN as a mechanism to potentially solve the Myanmar Crisis, calling for it to not accept the Myanmar election, more concreate action is much needed.

Min Aung Lai is now also the head the SSPC (State Security and Peace Commission), the recently established entity. This death Penalty and law of this kind has never been implemented in Myanmar before.

Further limitation/punishment is added, for damaging the ballot/polling station one an now face up to 20 years in prison and for those who killed someone during the election dispute, can face death permanent.

So who are the voters that they targeted? Advance vote can be given by the head of household if the individual is not in in country at the moment (families of migrant workers, or ppl living overseas).

By default, 1/3 of the seats is given to the military (in uniform), the rest of the number is made up by the civilian representatives. If they reach half, then they can call the parliament into session and confirm the new government.

#WhatsHappeninginManmar UEC also changed the party registration requirement, allowing smaller party who aligns with the military Junta to be able to compete and join the government. If this is the case, parliament can be in session. They only required for 50% + 1 of the member to confirm the gov't.

Many electoral laws have been changed to limit opposition and ensure the victory for the Military Junta (banning and dissolving). The Union Election Commission announced that 2 election systems will be used, both favoring the Junta. They will use voting machines which can be manually controlled.
