UN expert calls for coordinated action against Myanmar junta FMTNews FMTWorld
Myanmar has been plunged into chaos, with a resistance movement fighting the military on multiple fronts.
Since a junta seized power in February 2021, Myanmar has been plunged into chaos, with a resistance movement fighting the military on multiple fronts following a bloody crackdown on opponents. “They have less control of the country than they did at the beginning of this coup,” Andrews said of Myanmar’s junta. “We could make a very significant difference if we increased our support and we coordinated that support … I think it would make a world of difference.”
He said their analysis should lead them to “coordinate together the implementation of sanctions and an arms embargo”.
