After a sudden day of heavy fighting in #Mandalay in #Myanmar, these are just some pictures resulting from it as #military security forces clashed with People's Defence Force, civilian volunteer fighters. Military seen with RPG weapons & armoured tanks #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
Video sent to me, circulating of soldier who looks like #Myanmar#military security forces firing an RPG weapon (rocket-propelled grenade) in #Mandalay. Unclear of target but it appears he was aiming it at residential housing although cannot be verified. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
Junta terrorists have been storming Kinma village in Pauk since the afternoon of June 15. Villagers are fleeing, and the elderly who could not run were left in the village. The elderly were reportedly engulfed in flames as Junta terrorists set fire to homes.
The whole village was burned down by the SAC terrorists yesterday in Magway region. More than 1000 residents had to flee the village and some elderly and handicaps were trapped and killed in arson of SAC terrorists (so called Myanmar Tatmadaw).

#ASEAN’s “5 point consensus” re: the junta in #Myanmar is meaningless if it is not given “teeth.” It is time for an arms embargo, targeted sanctions, recognize the NUG and end “business as usual” with the military. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
Here is a translation of my message about the arrest & torture of Hlan Phyo Aung. The world must know about the living hell that has become daily life for so many in Myanmar. Inaction must no longer be an option.
Update: Chin National Front (CNF), a prominent ethnic armed organization in Myanmar/an NCA signatory, has signed a formal agreement with parallel gov @NUGMyanmar to fight the dictatorship/ build federal democracy on March 29. It is the first EAO to do so.

.@NUGMyanmar signs MOU with Chin National Front (one of 10 ethnic armed groups that’s on the formal nationwide ceasefire agreement)
Both to work on revolution against dictatorship, establishment of federal democracy with mutual respect
Calling for an arms embargo is the least the UN General Assembly should do in response to ongoing atrocities by #Myanmar's military junta. This is a shameful diplomatic capitulation by #ASEAN. (Excellent reporting by Shailaja Neelakantan) https://t.co/NPTP9ex1U2
