Junta is also conscripting the young folks in the middle of all this. This is a nightmare.

'In Mandalay, residents said they were upset to see soldiers lounging around the sites of collapsed buildings. Some played video games on their phones, while locals used their hands to pry bricks from the rubble.'

Myanmar’s junta is still bombing in spite of a devastating earthquake and a ceasefire announced by some opponents in the face of the disaster, reports @IrrawaddyNews. Air raids even took place near the epicentre as well as northern Shan State, it said. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

“We have to recognise there’s a global problem in healthcare workforce. There’s no point in having remuneration here that’s not internationally competitive, it’s not going to work & you will see a brain drain from this country”

In my time as a prisoner in Myanmar the worst experiences took place while being transferred - between prisons, to and from ‘courts’ . I genuinely feared for my life - and even more so feared for the lives of my Myanmar colleagues

The generals believe that consecration of the world’s largest marble seated Buddha & moving Aung San Suu Kyi from prison to house arrest will endear them to Myanmar’s people.But Myanmar is in a post-normal phase: return to ‘normalcy’ is no longer an option https://t.co/8ec8tBmlqA

[Matthew Tostevin @TostevinM]

What is Myanmar's junta hoping to gain from Aung San Suu Kyi as its forces increasingly struggle against widespread resistance to their coup? https://t.co/grgVbFpXW7 #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

[Scot Marciel @MarcielScot]

@MurrayHiebert1 If confirmed, it should not be seen as a concession by the junta but rather one of its usual tactical moves to give the appearance of reasonableness. A way of encouraging those governments that believe engaging w/the generals can lead to genuine progress.
