Congratulations to @SpecialCouncil , @hkbeech , and the @nytimes for publishing the single most ridiculous post-coup map of Myanmar, in a very crowded field of competitors.
I didn’t think it was possible to misrepresent so much all at once, but I stand humbly corrected. Bravo.
We all have our part to play in preserving #Biodiversity.

My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Myanmar today, especially those who lost their lives, families and homes from the Cyclone Mocha.
I call on the Thai caretaker government and the international community to expedite the delivery of humanitarian assistance to those affected by the Cyclone, with priorities given to those in dire need first. This is in line with my new foreign policy agenda as PM-Elect.
My policies on Myanmar will engage with all stakeholders, focusing on human security considerations, including humanitarian and economic aspects. These will be implemented with a view to achieving mutual peace and prosperity for Thailand, Myanmar, ASEAN and beyond.

One of Myanmar's smallest and most neglected states, Karenni (or Kayah) is grappling with one of the highest levels of displacement since the Feb. 1, 2021 military coup, more than one-third of the population. Powerful piece by Denis Gray @NikkeiAsia

#Myanmar: The dissolution of 40 political parties is yet another demonstration of the regime's disrespect for democracy.
Only an inclusive political process can lead the way out of the protracted crisis. EU 🇪🇺 supports @ASEAN efforts.

Time indeed to recognize current humanitarian strategies are often not the best to respond to many so-called humanitarian crises
Time to address root causes rather than treating symptoms with billions of dollars

Today, to hold the Burma military regime accountable for its assault on democracy, the @USTreasury is designating eight individuals and entities connected to the Burmese defense sector, and issuing a Sanctions Alert related to the provision of jet fuel to the regime.
Come on, @AJEnglish.
"Myanmar government spokesman"??
What "government"? Zaw Min Tun is the spokesman for Min Aung Hlaing's military that illegally occupied Nay Pyi Taw in Feb 2021 & is NOT governing (or in control of) all of #Myanmar.
These labels matter. Hope you fix this.
1/2 Burma Campaign UK welcomes this new round of sanctions from the USA, targeting suppliers of aviation fuel to the Burmese military. These are well targeted sanctions and must be followed by a complete ban on the supply of aviation fuel. https://t.co/pTw8wuc32N

Russian prosecutor general in Myanmar among others to promote plans to send legal experts to teach legal affairs and military law in Myanmar. It’s a bit like wolf teaching how to become vegetarian
I'm on the hunt for a good US fiscal sponsor to help recieve charitable gifts for different grassroots projects and aid in Myanmar. Anyone here on Twitter have recs?
Need a group that has a grasp of how fraught things are with Myanmar's banking sector.

Just as Thailand’s parliament is disbanded, an excellent backgrounder on the hopes many hold that a new Thai government will shift to a more balanced position on Myanmar’s crisis.

@davidhuttjourno is right that the NUG and its allies need financial support and that this will help them strengthen their alliance.
But anything approaching an attempt to make EROs "clients" to a "wealthy NUG patron" is doomed

Min Aung Hlaing, whose military routinely uses rape as a weapon of war, gives a speech on International Women’s Day, touching on cyber harassment of women, a favored tool of his online army
It seems everybody is in Naypyitaw this week to advance their respective interests. 🇨🇳 has normalized regular meetings w/ #Myanmar's junta & ethnic armed groups, while Indian Amb. Vinay Kumar met junta rep. Than Swe to discuss 🇮🇳's Kaladan transit project: https://t.co/NKgvDC2gjs
🧵🚨 INVESTIGATION by @IndianExpress & @ICIJorg claims that #India, like #China, has become a "leakage country" for #Myanmar teak. Four Indian companies, it claims, are exporting smuggled timber to #EU & #US in violation of Western sanctions. (1/n)
