My interview with Radio Karen regarding World Liberty Congress in Berlin, Germany. youtu.be/BI86OZW2taE?...

“If Thailand and other neighboring countries want stability in Burma, working with ethnic revolutionary organizations and allies is their best opinion. You can see [Karen State] as an example where the KNU works to bring stability, services, and rule of law to the areas under its control” Zoya added

Twenty-five Karen groups join Karen National Union in rejecting the regime's 2025-26 elections - DVB Twenty-five Karen civil society groups “overseas,” led by the Karen National Union (KNU), released a statement on Monday that it has condemned the regime’s 2025-26 elections which are scheduled to beg...

“This sham election is not about political reform or genuine peace in the country. History has already shown that the Burmese military is not interested in genuine peace and democracy, they just want to consolidate their power and continue the...,” Zoya Phan told DVB.

We call on the Royal Thai government to fully cooperate with the KNU, uphold humanitarian principles, open up the border and allow safe protection and aid for victims. The world must act now. Any delay will result in further unnecessary harm and loss of life.

30 Karen organisations call for urgent international cooperation following the KNU's crackdown on a major transnational scam center. We call on USA, EU & member states, UK, Canada, Australia and all potentially impacted countries to offer support to KNU and Thailand to help deal with this crisis.

Karen National Union calls for international cooperation to tackle transnational crimes and scam operation.

Today, Burmese military airstrikes in Dooplaya, targets civilian places. The jet they use come from other countries. The fuel they use to fly the jet comes from abroad. The bombs they drop are purchased using military controlled banks from income from abroad. Please cut off their supplies.

Rights and democracy in practice at #WorldLibertyCongress, through elections and voting. Even though I cannot vote in my own country, here at World Liberty Congress, I had the privilege to vote for the leadership. At German parliament.

The Burmese military use foreign jets and bombs to kill civilians. You must stop arms and equipment reaching them. #hilights

Wonderful to spend time with friends from Cambodia, Mu Sochua and Samady Ou, opposition leaders from Cambodia, very courageous and inspiring. The Khmer Movement for Democracy is working hard for change in their homeland. #WorldLibertyCongress, Berlin.

A privilege to attend the opening of the first ever Berlin Freedom Week – People from Berlin, from across Germany and from around the world came together to celebrate freedom. A reminder of how the previous generations were working hard for today's freedom.

But the jets, helicopters, and drones all come from other countries. The fuel they use to fly them comes from abroad. The bombs they drop are purchased using military controlled banks from income from abroad. Please, cut off the supply of money, arms and aviation fuel reaching the Burmese military.

Burmese military drones attacks in Kler Lwee Htu, killed one man and destroyed 6 houses, on 6 November 2025. ကီၢ်ပယီၤသုးမီၤစိရိၤ ခးလီၤတၢ်ဒီးဒြိဖဲချၢၣ်လွံၢ်ထူၣ်. The Burmese military use jets, helicopters, and drones to drop bombs, and they deliberately target schools, medical centres, religious sites and homes.

Please don’t repeat this mistake again. EU, USA, UK, ASEAN and other countries must not support such sham processes like they did after the Burmese military’s 2010 election. Instead support the people’s struggle for genuine peace and real freedom built on equality and self-determination.

During the fake peace process, the Burmese military was able to buy more weapons and fighter jets, that they now use to attack our people. During the fake reform, the Burmese military escalated their attacks in ethnic areas, committed genocide against the Rohingyas and had another coup in 2021.

We have been there before, where the Burmese military had sham elections in 2010, then followed by U Thein Sein fake reform. The international community lifted sanctions and supported this sham process, which has enabled the Burmese military to receive more revenues and built more military power.

W call for stronger measures to support the genuine democratic movement, including ethnic resistance organisations, and to endorse the people’s struggle for genuine peace built on equality and self-determination. International governments should support and recognise the bottom up federalism...

Karen communities around the world reject Burma’s sham elections, call for international action. The Burmese military, after the sham election, will likely try to fake another reform process. EU, USA, UK, ASEAN and others must not support such sham processes as they did after the 2010 election.

ASEAN must unequivocally reject the Burmese military's sham election. ASEAN must not send observers or provide any form of technical or political support to the Burmese military. ASEAN must stand firmly in solidarity with the people of Burma.

British government must resume sanctioning the Burmese military. The failure of UK to continue imposing sanctions will have been noticed and have provided encouragement for the Burmese military at a time when they are escalating attacks ahead of sham elections. burmacampaign.org.uk/british-gove...

“People in Burma are working hard to survive and resist this Burmese military. We know the Burmese military could not survive without international support. That is why we ask governments around the world to cut that support, including arms, revenue, equipment, and aviation fuel.”

Zoya said: “The Burmese military have been escalating airstrikes and military offensives across Burma in recent weeks ahead of sham elections they are planning at the end of this year."

Stop supporting war criminals, the Burmese military. This brutal military could not survive without support from other countries. Governments must impose more targeted sanctions to help stop Burmese military offensives. Stop arms, revenue, equipment and aviation fuel going to the Burmese military.

As long as the Burmese military exists, there can never be real peace.

The UK, EU, USA and other governments must impose more targeted sanctions to help stop Burmese military offensives and limit their ability to carry out these deadly airstrikes. Stop arms, revenue, equipment and aviation fuel going to the Burmese military.

Burmese military airstrikes are targeting civilian places as a deliberate strategy to generate fear and maximise casualties. Stop supporting these war criminals, the Burmese military. This brutal military could not survive without support from other countries.
