Myanmar Earthquake Analysis

Neither side of Myanmar’s curent political divide has risen to task of capably addressing crisis. The real response—the one saving lives—is coming from citizen-led grassroots initiatives & independent NGOs stepping into vacuum. https://t.co/796l0I4JGL

Things have gotten grimmer in Myanmar/Burma post coup. And there’s also news fatigue; a lot to pay attention to in the world. Today I’m going to tell you a different story. And it starts with a concert. (Fun links included, but spoiler: it'll connect to the current situation) 1/

Good piece with lots of wisdom. Key question though is how!

Myanmar Investment Commission approves US$2.5 billion power project likely backed by China. Remember when the junta’s lobbyist said the reason for the coup was the NLD getting too close to Beijing and that the junta would remedy that? https://t.co/XBlMSir5go

Asean's biggest test ever: preventing Myanmar becoming a failed state. And that can only mean a path to democracy. But an even more urgent aim should be the protection of Myanmar people, against violence & arbitrary arrests & the multiple humanitarian emergencies now unfolding.

[Thant Myint-U @thantmyintu]

"The ruin of Myanmar is not only a calamity for the 54m Burmese; it also creates risks that could ripple through the region". Rather than cookie cutter responses, urgent out of the box thinking & action now will avoid much pain & far tougher strategic choices in the years to come

With the right help from the rest of world, Burma has every chance to become not only a federal democracy but a peaceful, prosperous, and multicultural society. Country is at an historic inflection and there is absolutely no going back.

Special ASEAN Summit on Myanmar will be held on April 24th and Junta Leader, Min Aung Hlaing is invited to there. Since legally-elected CRPH have formed National Union Government (NUG), ASEAN should invite NUG instead on Min Aung Hlaing.#WhatsHappeningInMyanmar #MilkTeaAlliance
