This article is wrong in so many elementary ways..it's hard to know where to start. It overlooks evidence of Myanmar's evolving national identity, misapplies conflict stats, and underestimates the viability of a federal union

@ahnahpodcast reaction?🤔

#Israel contends that the intention to destroy a people, in whole or in part, is "totally lacking." Mr. Becker's words, however, ring hollow in light of the overwhelming evidence of genocidal rhetoric from senior Israeli officials, journalists and Israeli military and society.

Really important report from USIP: “it is no longer reasonable to assume that an enfeebled military will overcome… Therefore, the international community should stop engaging with the junta as if it is bound to win” https://t.co/rzev79jV8M

Hard to ignore the timing of this acknowledgement so soon after visit to Washington. How long will the US agenda prioritize security institutions and expansion of military bases over blatant human rights abuses?

[NewsWatch Plus PH @newswatchplusph]

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said the previous administration’s focus to enforce purging the country of illegal drugs led to the “abuses” that put the spotlight on the Philippines’ human rights situation.

@YeMyoHein5 releases important data analysis assessing the Myanmar military's size at 150,000 troops, rather than typical estimates of 300,000-400,000.

"This uncertainty has led analysts to significantly overestimate the Sit-Tat’s strength."

New piece with a colleague on the implications of the Nam nein massacre and hate speech in Myanmar.

https://t.co/vwzaFjnX94

[Billy Ford @Billee4d]

Latest piece from @GabbySagun and our pseudonymous @USIP colleague.

They point to the Namnein massacre and its aftermath as concerning example of way the #Myanmar junta and its proxies try to fracture the resistance by inciting inter-communal violence

Civil society remains at the frontline of documenting atrocities in Myanmar. This new piece highlights the incredible work of civil society in Karenni State documenting crimes against humanity perpetrated by the junta.

It’s already been changed, but why THE FUCK would you run this headline

[Billy Ford @Billee4d]

Important piece by @GabbySagun and Hkawn Htoi @USIP:

“The meaningful inclusion of women in security sector reform could disrupt cycles of violence and offer a foundational step toward rectifying Myanmar’s history of widespread police brutality”

Excited to share this new piece on women in security institutions in Myanmar!

“Shifting perceptions and recognizing the power of including Myanmar women in security is an actionable way to build the strength of the resistance.”
