Min Aung Hlaing's grap on power is being increasingly challenged on numerous fronts. Over the last six months the fault line between army and party has widened. See my detailed analysis with my colleague Hanthar Nyein

Myanmar’s self-appointed leader is desperate for international legitimacy: in reality it's an authoritarian military regime masquerading as a civilian administration riddled with internal tensions. See my analysis: https://t.co/kSwC0Syjy0
My first article in two years. Have spent the last few months in detailed research, probing interviews. The article analyzes the current situation in Myanmar on the third anniversary of the military coup. Please read my piece in the Bangkok Post: https://t.co/WrGj7dnOfQ
Despite the need for international intervention and the universal condemnation of the violence and bloodshed in Myanmar caused by the Tatmadaw, country’s civil war is set to deepen and the conflict at an impasse. See my take:

My colleague and close friend Nathan Maung chief editor of Kamayut media has been released and will be deported to the US tomorrow. Unfortunately Hanthar Nyein his co-editor remains in detention.
Myanmar’s military have detained over 80 journalists. Amongst them are two close friends and colleagues at Kamayut media: Nathan Maung and Hanthar Nyein. During their interrogation they have been badly tortured while being interrogated.

Ten ethnic armies have given the clearest warning to the junta that they will not stand by and see innocent civilians slaughtered. But the ,most import decision with significant ramifications is the formation of a Federal Council: see my analysis: https://t.co/o4l1wcjVcE
Myanmar's parliamentarians are continuing to challenge the coup leaders legitimacy. In the next few days the formation a national unity government will be announced. Now it needs international recognition and support.

Spent a wonderful four hours with RCSS chairman Yawk Serk, including a relaxed lunch. But he is strong in his interview: the Myanmar military must be held accountable for their crimes against humanity. And offers guarded support to the CRPH. Read my report In Irrawaddy.
Myanmar’s security forces continue to run amok and the death toll continues to rise. They are waging war against the people, said Dr Sa Sa. https://t.co/QiaYSrYfCV
Myanmar’s police and troops have been let of the leash with violence, mayhem and bloodshed the result. There is not legal basis to what is happening and it’s unconstitutional: here’s my depressing assessment (and it can only get worse). https://t.co/EcP1zoNC3R
Myanmar’s security forces continue to terrorize the country’s civilian population. Strategy changed over the weekend but don’t expect it dissipate. It’s only going to get worse before March 27. Here’s my outline of their game plan. https://t.co/vuiKkhk9lJ
Black Wednesday when the military ran amok. The Myanmar military are committing ‘crimes against humanity’ says the newly appointed special envoy to the UN representing the elected MPs.

Another dreadful day as Myanmar's military maintain their crackdown on civilians. Everyone complaining that its a 'war zone'. No signs either side will back down: collision course inevitable and fear major bloodshed imminent. Please read my IPS piece: https://t.co/0JC03kTtJ3
n my article in the Bangkok Post I may have inadvertently misled readers. MAH did not go to China on the weekend. But for anyone who read it carefully it clearly says it was UNCONFIRMED. I was misled by my sources and in hindsight should not have included this speculation.
Readers should not be distract by a line at the end of my story incorrectly said MAH went to China. The thrust of the piece is a very powerful plea by Dr Sa Sa (the CRPH envoy to the UN) to the international community.
