About us
After the army’s seizure of power on February 1, 2021, Myanmar stands at the brink of returning to military dictatorship. Meanwhile, the new Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM) is in the streets calling for a multi-ethnic democratic government. With Myanmar at this crossroads, we at the Campaign for a New Myanmar are building the international movement to support the Civil Disobedience Movement. We are organizing the campaigns in support of the CDM’s demand for global boycotts and sanctions of the Myanmar military and its business empire.

The Thai newspaper, The Nation, has reported that the new US Administration may also scrap its resettlement plan for Burmese refugees currently residing in camps on Thailand’s borders. The Thai and US governments had previously discussed a plan to relocate some 60,000 refugees from #Burma in #Thailand to a third country that offered them permanent residence. https://lnkd.in/e_nH4QUZ

In #Burma, #Rakhine State is on the verge of an unprecedented disaster due to a combination of interlinked issues. Restrictions on goods entering Rakhine, both internationally and domestically, have led to a severe lack of income, hyperinflation, and significantly reduced domestic food production. Essential services and a social safety net are almost non-existent, leaving an already vulnerable population at risk of collapse in the coming months. https://lnkd.in/eHDwQsmf
