NEW: The recent Shangri-La Dialogue featured #Myanmar and #Taiwan very prominently without platforming officials or reps from either countries. Is this fair to these two nations? I asked @NUGMyanmar and @MOFA_Taiwan. They both urged @IISS_org to invite them next time. 1/3

Important @FrontierMM @amendelson_ investigation on dumping of plastic waste from Western countries in Myanmar. As I note in the article, weak rule of law and corruption make Myanmar a magnet for all kinds of illicit trades, including noxious waste. The coup has made this worse.

As @KyawTun62907405 said, the youngest victim of this attack was a six month baby. It was not an isolated incident.

“On behalf of the Myanmar people, I call on the international community to take decisive action to save the lives of the Myanmar people and end military impunity.”

[UK at the UN 🇬🇧🇺🇳 @UKUN_NewYork]

We have called for @UN Security Council to meet on the #Myanmar military’s airstrike on a village hall where school children were dancing.

More than 130 people are dead - the deadliest attack since the coup.

This massacre is against international law and totally indefensible.

[May Yadanar Moe @MayYadanarMoe]

Show us how to get happy amid air strikes?

#US @CounselorDOS in Southeast Asia & meets with this year's @ASEAN chair #Indonesia @Menlu_RI to discuss #Myanmar's "worsening crisis". Myanmar remains major challenge for regional bloc as #military continues to show little/no effort in resolving crisis #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

Large group of #Myanmar democracy & human rights protesters gathered in #Bangkok right now outside of UN ESCAP building, chanting & demanding freedom for their leaders & an end to the SAC military dictatorship! Seen from windows of @OHCHRAsia office! #WhatsHappeninginMyanmar @hrw

[Leong Wai Kit @LeongWaiKitCNA]

Silent strike is under way in #Myanmar to mark 2 years of a military coup

This one shows an empty street in Mandalay, Myanmar’s second largest city

In the past, the army went after those on silent strike, like sealing shops that didn’t open for business

[May Wong @MayWongST]

#Myanmar workers protesting infront of Myanmar embassy on #Bangkok #Thailand to mark 2 years of #militarycoup in their country. They told me that the military must get out & return democracy back to the people. They reject any planned polls by army #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
