Myanmar junta has been invited to join 2 upcoming #ASEAN Regional Forum events co-chaired by US. As ASEAN cont. to facilitate junta's participation in intl forums, US & other govts should show solidarity & affirm that the junta does NOT represent #Myanmar. https://t.co/NqjsBYveAv

In Myawaddy, the situation looks normal today, children are joyfully playing with water as the Thingyan festival kicks off. Meanwhile, the SAC convoy has reached Kawkareik and reportedly faced an ambush at the Dawna Range. Details about the extent of the damage are still unclear.

Myanmar marks the Thingyan holiday and people protest against the junta in multiple places, doing what they can for this new year to be one in which they bring an end to military rule and peace to the country. #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar

Yangon, Burma

Yangon residents show their solidarity with the resistance fighters, resulting in a silence that enveloped the usually bustling streets of Yangon today. People boycotted the #Thingyan festival, which is hosted by the junta.

Although #Wa has its own administrative division, the region still faces several issues. Various forms of illegality become attractive opportunities for migrants.

Myanmar's Gen Z grew up thinking non-violent resistance could bring change. Now they are on the front lines of a conflict with a junta that is being fought largely out of sight of the world #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar https://t.co/NIC6cdKqoa

Around 1,500 villagers from Chin State's Kanpetlet townships fled into the jungle after Myanmar junta launched ground and air offensives against CDF-Kanpetlet on July 15. A local news outlet, KTN, said the IDPs need immediate humanitarian assistance such as medicine and food.

Breaking! Popularly elected PM candidate @Pita_MFP won support from lower house in today’s parliamentary vote, but junta-appointed senators blocked him from taking office—derailing hopes for reform and democratic restoration in #Thailand.

"I'm not giving up yet," said Move Forward Party Leader Pita Limjaroenrat after failing to secure enough votes from the joint parliament to become the new prime minister today.

He stated that he will prepare for a revote. House Speaker Wan Muhamad Noor Matha said before the voting today that if a revote is necessary, the second voting will be scheduled around July 19.

Pita said there is still no plan in place for the scenario where he fails to obtain enough votes in the second voting.

He also expressed gratitude to the 13 senators who voted in his favor today.
