The latest world news regarding Myanmar attracts global attention along with dynamic political and social developments. Since the military coup in February 2021, the situation in Myanmar continues to be volatile. Myanmar’s military, known as the Tatmadaw, claims it took power to protect the country from election fraud, although there is no concrete evidence to support the claim. It is important to note that following the coup, there were massive protests across the country. Peaceful demonstrations often lead to violence by security forces, with many civilians losing their lives. Recent data shows that thousands of people are being arrested, and many are being held without a fair trial. This gave rise to international condemnation of the violence carried out by the military. On the other hand, the opposition group known as the National Unity Government (NUG) continues to fight to restore democracy. The NUG, composed of former parliamentarians, activists and members of ethnic minorities, collaborated with local armed groups to fight the military regime. Several analyzes show that armed conflicts in border areas with ethnic minorities are increasing, which has the potential to worsen the humanitarian situation in Myanmar. Apart from that, humanitarian challenges are also increasingly pressing. The refugee crisis, especially in Rakhine State, is expanding, with more than 1 million Rohingya refugees forced to flee their homes since 2017. The UN report describes dire conditions for many refugees who struggle to gain access to food, clean water and health services. On the economic side, the situation is also very difficult. Many international companies withdrew their investments in response to political instability. Predicted economic growth was hampered, and reports showed that inflation was increasing. The increase in prices of basic necessities affects people’s quality of life, especially among residents who are already vulnerable. Social media remains an important tool for activists to spread information and organize marches. Despite the military government imposing strict restrictions on freedom of speech, many Myanmar people continue to fight for their rights through digital platforms. This is one of their ways of countering the government’s official narrative, even though many social media accounts are blocked by the junta. From ASEAN’s perspective, the regional community has attempted to reconcile conflicts. However, the steps taken so far are considered inadequate by many observers, given the evolving nature of the crisis. International observers are calling for a more proactive approach with pressure on the military junta for the restoration of democracy. As part of the latest developments, several world leaders are adopting tougher policies towards military juntas. Economic and diplomatic sanctions have been implemented, in the hope of forcing change. However, the impact of these measures still needs to be evaluated, given the major challenges that still exist in the field. The uncertain situation in Myanmar shows the need for high attention and action from the international community to support the aspirations of the Myanmar people who want peace and democracy.
