#Myanmar's junta is desperate to launder its image internationally through sham elections, token amnesties & fake peace offers.
Meanwhile, it escalates its nationwide scorched-earth campaign against civilians with total impunity.

⚠️The junta has announced a new system requiring mobile phone registration through the Central Equipment Identity Register (CEIR), a move that has raised serious concerns among residents, digital rights advocates, and civil society organizations about increased surveillance and violations of citizens’ privacy.
According to information received by HURFOM field reporters, the system requires users to verify their mobile phones using the device’s IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number, a unique 15-digit code assigned to every mobile phone. Authorities say the measure is intended to monitor whether mobile devices have been properly taxed and registered. However, residents and analysts warn that the policy could significantly expand the military’s ability to track and monitor civilians.
The IMEI number functions as a digital identifier for a mobile handset. Unlike SIM cards, which can be changed easily, the IMEI is permanently tied to the phone itself. Through the CEIR system, authorities will be able to systematically collect and store these identifiers, creating a centralized database linking devices to mobile network users.
Under the junta’s announcement, mobile phones currently in use will automatically be placed on an approved list if they are connected to a Myanmar SIM card before March 31. However, phones that are not registered or activated with a Myanmar SIM card before this deadline may be required to pay taxes and penalties before they can continue to operate on Myanmar’s mobile networks.
If the required registration and payments are not completed, the authorities say the device will eventually be blocked from connecting to any Myanmar-issued SIM card.
The junta has attempted to justify the system by claiming that similar IMEI registration mechanisms are used internationally to combat stolen devices and illegal imports. While such systems do exist in some countries, digital rights observers note that they are typically managed by telecom operators and are subject to legal safeguards and judicial oversight.
“In democratic countries, access to telecommunications data and tracking information requires court authorization,” said a technology observer familiar with the system. “Law enforcement cannot simply monitor individuals’ devices without legal approval.”
In Myanmar, however, the telecommunications sector is tightly controlled by the military authorities, and there is little independent judicial oversight. Mobile network operators are required to comply with junta requests, and users’ SIM cards are already linked to personal identification documents.
Because of this environment, residents fear the new registration system could make it easier for authorities to monitor individuals’ movements and communications.
Previously, security forces often tracked individuals using phone numbers connected to SIM cards. Through network triangulation between cell towers, Junta could estimate a user’s location when calls or data connections were active. With the new system, analysts say authorities could now match both SIM card information and the device’s IMEI number, allowing them to identify and track a specific phone even if the SIM card is changed.
“This means the military Junta could monitor people more easily than before,” one resident said. “If they know both your SIM and your phone, it becomes much harder to avoid being tracked.”
Civil society observers say the policy could further restrict freedom of expression and increase risks for journalists, activists, and ordinary citizens who rely on mobile communication to share information.
Myanmar has already faced severe restrictions on digital freedoms since the military seized power in 2021. Internet shutdowns, surveillance measures, and arrests linked to online speech have become common across the country.
Human rights defenders warn that the new system may deepen the climate of fear and self-censorship among the public.
“The telecommunication officer say this is about regulating phones and taxes,” said a local observer. “But in reality, people are worried that it will make surveillance easier and reduce their privacy even more.”
For many citizens, the new measure reflects a broader pattern of digital control under military rule. With telecommunications infrastructure under junta oversight and limited protections for personal data, residents say they fear their communications and movements could increasingly be monitored.
As the system is implemented, digital rights advocates are calling for stronger protections for privacy and freedom of expression, warning that without independent oversight, such technologies can easily be used to monitor civilians and suppress dissent.

Regime imposes fuel rationing over Middle East supply disruptions
DMG Newsroom
4 March 2026, Nay Pyi Taw
Myanmar’s military regime on 3 March ordered private, commercial and transport vehicles to conserve fuel and comply with usage restrictions starting 7 March, citing the need to ensure national fuel security.
The regime said the measures were necessary because transport routes for fuel tankers bound for Myanmar have been disrupted due to ongoing military conflicts in the Middle East.
Under the directive, private motor vehicles must operate under an “even/odd” licence plate system from 7 March, allowing them to be driven only on alternate days. Vehicles with even-numbered plates may operate on even-numbered dates, while those with odd-numbered plates may operate on odd-numbered dates.
Electric vehicles (EVs) and electric motorcycles are exempt from the restrictions and may be driven daily.
Public transport vehicles, taxis, fuel tankers, construction vehicles, freight trucks, ambulances, hearses and municipal garbage trucks are also permitted to operate without daily limits.
The regime warned fuel business owners not to raise prices and urged the public to refrain from hoarding. It said violations would result in legal action under existing laws.
The Middle East is a major global oil export hub, and Myanmar imports fuel from Singapore, Russia and countries in the Middle East.
The regime said the restrictions were prompted by logistical challenges stemming from the current conflict involving Iran.
Myanmar faces chronic fuel shortages and spends billions of dollars annually on fuel imports. In the 2020–2021 fiscal year, the country imported 4.12 million tons of fuel worth approximately US$2.46 billion.

Regime waging psychological warfare to erode public rationality: MDSI
DMG Newsroom
3 March 2026, Yangon
The Myanmar military regime is conducting psychological warfare aimed at undermining public rationality beyond conventional propaganda, according to a report released on 3 March by the Myanmar Defense & Security Institute (MDSI).
The report states that the regime is systematically seeking to incite suspicion among revolutionary forces and weaken mutual trust between organizations.
It warns that the regime is employing various tactics to inflame territorial disputes between Ethnic Armed Organizations (EAOs) and to foster divisions along generational and ideological lines.
As examples, the report cites friction between the Pa-O National Organization (PNO) and the Karenni Nationalities Defence Force (KNDF), as well as tensions between the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) and the Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA).
The MDSI said that in modern warfare, conflict has expanded from the physical battlefield to the “information battlefield,” with the junta using platforms such as TikTok, Telegram and Facebook to spread fake news, misinformation and fear.
The report warns that “gray propaganda,” which uses partially accurate information for manipulative purposes, poses an even greater threat to the public.
To counter the regime’s psychological operations, the MDSI urged the public to practice “information hygiene,” including pausing before sharing news, verifying source credibility, comparing reports across different outlets, considering the intended emotional impact, and taking responsibility for the potential consequences of sharing information.
The report also said the Ministry of Information and the Psychological Warfare Department have collaborated to strengthen propaganda efforts using a systematic database approach.
According to the MDSI, the ability of revolutionary forces and the public to identify and distinguish psychological warfare tactics is currently the most crucial “mental defense shield” in the ongoing conflict.

Access to the open internet is a lifeline in times of crisis and the shutdown shows a disregard for the public's right to stay informed and engage in their country's future.
