Harrowing reminder of abysmal conditions for political prisoners in Myanmar, where in one case pregnant mothers were refused medical treatment and had to give birth "with the help of other prisoners because there was no medical staff." frontiermyanmar.net/en/left-to-die…
In Mandalay’s Obo Prison, a woman saw three fellow political prisoners give birth in their cells after guards refused to send them to the hospital. “All three mothers had to give birth with the help of other prisoners because there was no medical staff." frontiermyanmar.net/en/left-to-die…
Good snapshot of the complex landscape in Myawaddy. The episode there reflects a wider trend in which militias have helped the regime to narrowly hold on or, in some cases, reverse its losses. 🧵 bbc.com/news/world-asi…
Conditions in Myanmar’s jails are dire for all inmates, but human rights organisations say political prisoners suffer more abuses – including medical neglect that often has deadly consequences. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar Read here: frontiermyanmar.net/en/left-to-die…
Trenchant criticism of Myanmar resistance body the National Unity Consultative Council. "At the four-hour press conference, three solid hours were wasted on members blaming each other and arguing over whether the assembly had succeeded or not." irrawaddy.com/opinion/guest-…
A somewhat lengthy thread🧵 on Myawaddy, the fall that wasn’t (but could still be).
Salient to any discussion of the Myanmar junta's "mismanagement" of the economy. The regime's been in survival mode since the coup; its measures aren't really aimed at creating a prosperous country. The same caveat applies to the junta's "governance" and public service provision.

Young people and their families are seeking any way they can to evade the Myanmar military’s conscription drive – sometimes with the help of sympathetic local administrators. #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar Read here: frontiermyanmar.net/en/communities…
My students in #Myanmar are studying in 40+ degree heat, with no power (so that means no AC or fans), living under the constant threat of violence and conscription. And they are still, somehow, the smartest, funniest, most engaged students I have ever known.
Important piece on the impacts of escalating armed conflict between the military junta and Arakan Army on ethnic Mro in western #Myanmar Interviews my teammates & I have conducted since 2020 found similar impacts on other double minorities as well (1/4) frontiermyanmar.net/en/caught-in-t…
OPINION | Pro-military movies that once captivated the Myanmar public are now objects of ridicule for their tired cliches, while a post-coup wave of resistance films is pushing the limits and winning global recognition, Do: Na writes. Read here: frontiermyanmar.net/en/theatres-of…
Caught in the crossfire, Mro struggle to survive Smaller minority groups in Rakhine State are caught between the regime and the Arakan Army, and seen with distrust by both sides, as conflict and displacement threaten their ways of life. Read here: frontiermyanmar.net/en/caught-in-t…
Post-coup crisis puts reproductive health out of reach The public healthcare collapse and economic crisis have compounded barriers to accessing reproductive healthcare in Myanmar, already a challenge due to social stigma and a lack of education. Read: frontiermyanmar.net/en/post-coup-c…
Following the killing of renowned activist Nobel Aye while she allegedly tried to escape junta custody, her family and comrades remember a woman who died fighting “the last battle” against military dictatorship. #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar Read here: frontiermyanmar.net/en/our-lives-b…
As of March 22, the SAC's local administration has gathered data, conducted conscription lotteries, and registered eligible men for military service in 172 townships. View Interactive map: datawrapper.de/_/hCwWB/ Download data: tinyurl.com/3vwpecxn
My book, On the Shadow Tracks, is out in June. Eight years in the making, it explores Myanmar’s history through the stories of its hidden railways. It’s a travelogue, and an investigation into systemic abuses – both in modern Myanmar and British Burma. penguin.co.uk/books/455020/o…
I was lucky to have an early peek of this book by ex Frontier colleague @Clarammond and it's brilliant. Framed as an offbeat travelogue, but at heart an expose of the cruelty and corruption of military rule and an argument for why Myanmar deserves better. penguin.co.uk/books/455020/o…
A school headmaster in Myanmar now scrapes by as a manual laborer in Malaysia. Like others who've fled since the coup, he's undocumented and terrified of being deported, especially as Msia continues with a months-long crackdown on migrants. @FrontierMM: frontiermyanmar.net/en/unwanted-in…
The People’s Defence Force has suffered a major symbolic setback by losing control of the first town it seized – accusing the Myanmar military of destroying Kawlin in order to reclaim it – but its troops vow to fight on. Read here: frontiermyanmar.net/en/a-bitter-lo…
As the military regime targets places of worship to break popular support for the resistance, Catholic communities caught up in the conflict are being denied the consolations of their religion. Read here: frontiermyanmar.net/en/myanmar-cat…

@ddlefebvre @blackhawk_exile @MThibu @FrontierMM Htee Khee figure is massively inflated by natural gas exports - a few years ago the Myanmar authorities started including gas in border trade for some reason. That’s also why official figures show exports through Muse continuing to increase since 1027, when most trade has stopped
Territorial "control" is an awful way of conceptualising ways dif. armed groups are active in Myanmar: how they are present in areas, local nuances of everyday conflict & mediation btw. groups. Result is: maps of control, gov. etc mostly of limited use & often just simply wrong
My students in #Myanmar are studying in 40+ degree heat, with no power (so that means no AC or fans), living under the constant threat of violence and conscription. And they are still, somehow, the smartest, funniest, most engaged students I have ever known.
@BenedictDunant @Clarammond 5 1/2 years since we had lunch together and I have thought about this book idea on more than one occasion since. Can't wait to read it!
@Rangoon_Film I dunno. I think one should judge good reporting by the reporting itself, rather than the background of the person doing it. This presumes a degree of experience and knowledge, but Burma "lifers" often disagree - sometimes vociferously - among themselves.
I think a range of terms are fine for journalistic (as opposed to diplomatic/legal) purposes. Military government is technically accurate but maybe a bit broad, perhaps better to say junta/military junta, military council, or coup government.
#WhatsHappeningInMyanmar Question: When reporting on #Myanmar, why call it a 'Military Government' instead of the 'Junta' or 'Tatmadaw'? Here's why ▶️
There’s more endangered marine wildlife trade going on at these borders than people care to know. There’s an increase in Mobula gill rakers trade, the shark ray thorn trade was shocking and dried seahorse trade involves drugs and children.

"You all have already endured so much, and I know that the new announcement on conscription has inflicted even more distress. My thoughts and those of my colleagues are with you everyday.” Our Head of Mission, @kenofl, reflects on his first year at post in Myanmar.
This strikes me as whittling away at the definition of a civilian until there's nobody left. Regime officials and suspected informants absolutely classify as civilians under international law, and there's almost never any form of due process before these extrajudicial killings
Of those not killed by the junta - 70% were targeted assasinations of milita-members, junta officials or suspected informants. 25% were killed by unidentified actors. This leaves just 1 person killed by resistance groups this year - accidentally in a failed drone bombing.
Re: #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar There are many people using “on the bright side” narratives regarding the Mandatory Conscription law because ‘it signals the junta’s imminent defeat’ and/or ‘it will teach a lesson to people who don’t care about the crisis’ (1/6)

Sobering reminder that unity built around opposition to the military regime only goes so far. It is possible that a post-junta landscape will continue to look extremely violent for years after if the resistance doesn't not start taking serious steps to develop a unified vision.

Also worth adding that the Chin National Front itself is currently embroiled in controversy over whether it truly represents all of Chinland. I am not really sure this statement will convince any skeptics about the resistance's ability to speak as a unified voice.
Three years on and the majority of EAOs/EROs do not seem willing to sign joint statements with the NUG outside of the ones that partnered up with it early on.
