YANGON—In its latest challenge to the legitimacy of the country’s military regime, a committee representing elected Myanmar lawmakers from the overthrown ruling National League for Democracy (NLD) appointed four acting ministers on Tuesday. In a statement, the Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH) said that since the military’s “illegitimate” arrest of President U Win Myint and State Counselor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the cabinet had not been able to perform its duties. The Pyidaungsu Hluttaw is Myanmar’s Union Parliament. According to the statement, four people, three of them from the NLD, have been appointed as acting ministers “to assume the duties on behalf of cabinet members.” Daw Zin Mar Aung, who was elected to the Lower House representing Yangon’s Yankin Township in the Nov. 8 general election, was appointed acting foreign affairs minister. She is a member of the CRPH. The committee also appointed U Lwin Ko Latt to serve concurrently as acting President’s Office minister and Union Government Office minister. In the Nov. 8 vote, he was elected as a Lower House lawmaker representing Thanlyin Township in Yangon. He is currently a member of the CRPH. Another elected Lower House lawmaker from the NLD, U Tin Tun Naing, was appointed acting minister for three crucial three economic ministries: Planning, Finance and Industry; Investment and Foreign Economic Relations; and Commerce. The CRPH also chose Dr. Zaw Wai Soe as acting minister for three ministries: Labor, Immigration and Population; Education; and Health and Sports. The University of Medicine 1 Yangon rector has played a leading role in Yangon’s COVID-19 fight since last year. He strongly condemned the military coup and is participating in the Civil Disobedience Movement against the military regime, having refused to serve in the military’s cabinet. Among the CRPH’s members are 17 elected NLD lawmakers. The self-declared parliamentary committee was formed after the coup to counter military rule. Page 2 of 61 The NLD won Myanmar’s Nov. 8 general election in a landslide. NLD candidates won 920 of the 1,117 elected seats nationwide, including seats in both houses of the bicameral Union Parliament and the state/regional parliaments, as well as ethnic affairs minister posts. On Feb. 1, the military staged a coup just hours before the new NLD-dominated Parliament was set to convene, claiming it was forced to act over what it called electoral fraud in the Nov. 8 general election. https://www.irrawaddy.com/news/defying-military-regime-myanmars-crph-names-four- acting-ministers.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Myanmar’s Military Council Labeled 'Terrorist Group’ By The Irrawaddy | 2 March 2021 The CRPH, the committee representing the elected lawmakers of the ousted National League for Democracy, labeled Myanmar’s military governing body, the State Administrative Council (SAC), as a “terrorist group” on Monday for its lawlessness in arresting democratically elected leaders and for terrorizing protesters with killings and violence. The announcement followed the nationwide bloody Sunday crackdown on peaceful protesters by the police and soldiers, which left at least 18 dead, according to the United Nations. Since the Feb. 1 coup, 23 people, aged 17 to 59, have been killed, according to media reports and relatives’ testimony. The military seized power from the democratically elected government on Feb. 1 and detained civilian leaders and pro-democracy activists. The CRPH (Committee Representing the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw) said the military’s action is “in contravention of the existing laws”. The military established the SAC with generals and few members from political parties, which had been defeated in the November general election. It changed the law, removing privacy legislation and freedom of expression and threatened to arrest anyone insulting the SAC. Since the Feb. 1 coup, more than 1,000 people have been detained. The CRHP said it “condemns in the strongest terms all atrocities and acts of terrorism committed by the putschists”. The illegitimate putschists’ crimes include shooting live rounds, explosives, rubber bullets, tear gas and water cannons at protesters. They beat and arrest peaceful protesters, civil Page 3 of 61 servants taking part in the civil disobedience movement, activists, community leaders and students, said the committee. “Such crimes amount to the declaration of war on unarmed civilians.” In late February protesters began using shields and making barricades to defend their neighborhoods from the authorities. “Due to the atrocities and acts of terrorism of the military, streets and communities across Myanmar have become battlefields. There have been many civilian fatalities and the life, liberty and security of the people are under constant threats due to the acts of terrorism committed by the illegitimate military council,” said the CRPH. https://www.irrawaddy.com/news/burma/myanmars-military-council-labeled-terrorist- group.html -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Myanmar Military Cracks Down on Journalists with Arrests and Lawsuits By The Irrawaddy | 2 March 2021 Ma Kay Zon Nway from Myanmar Now being detained by police on Saturday while covering a protest in Myaynigone, Yangon. / The Irrawaddy YANGON — Myanmar’s security forces forcibly arrested a reporter from the Democratic Voice of Burma (DVB) on Monday night from his home in Myeik, Tanintharyi Region, where he has been reporting on anti-regime protests. A DVB live-stream at around 10:20pm showed police and military personnel surrounded his home and shouting at him to come out. When Ko Kaung Myat Naing, also known as Ko Aung Kyaw, asked whether they had a warrant, they fired into the air. When Ko Aung Kyaw asked them to remain peaceful, the security forces started throwing stones at his house. Ko Aung Kyaw can be heard shouting that a stone injured his head and appealing to neighbors for help before the security forces break into his house and arrest him. The arrest came after he live-streamed police and soldiers shooting at houses and destroying furniture and other possessions in their ongoing crackdown. He also reported that how a pregnant woman in Myeik was beaten and her home looted by the security forces. DVB chief editor U Aye Chan Naing told The Irrawaddy that before Ko Aung Kyaw’s arrest, the security forces threatened his neighbors with guns to turn off their lights and stay silent.

  • Myanmar's Spring Revolution
    EUROPEAN POLICY BRIEF MYANMAR ’S SPRING REVOLUTION : A PEOPLE ’S REVOLUTION Myanmar’s Spring Revolution is a grassroots, bottom-to-top nationwide resistance against the military ruling class that retook state power in February 2021. It is unprecedented in scale, fascinating in form and shows a profound societal change within the country. Michal Lubina , April 2021 INTRODUCTION A People’s revolution Myanmar’s Spring Revolution is a grassroots, bottom-to-top nationwide resistance against the military ruling class that retook state power in February 2021. It is unprecedented in scale, fascinating in form and shows a profound societal change within the country. EVIDENCE AND ANALYSIS The end of hermit country Burma has traditionally been called a hermit country 1 – a designation not uncommon in Asia (Bhutan and especially Korea were similarly named), yet very fitting in the case of Myanmar. Precolonial Burmese kingdoms were generally inward-looking, with periods of sometimes spectacular external expeditions being exceptions rather than the rule. Some believed Burma’s isolation was due to economic self-sufficiency, others ascribed it to geography. Still others looked for explanations in the cultural realm, believing - like Aung San Suu Kyi in her early writings 2 - that Buddhism made Burmese uninterested in foreign ideas. Whatever the reasons, it was only the colonial period that brought Burma into the global, capitalist world, however imperfectly: “Burma had been thrown open to the world, but the world had not been opened up to Burma.” 3 This forceful incursion inflicted wounds that never healed. That is why after the creative and chaotic decade of the 1950s (somewhat similar to the last ten years), Burma reverted to self-isolation after the 1962 1 Gustaaf Houtman, Mental Culture in Burmese Crisis Politics: Aung San Suu Kyi and the National League for Democracy, ISLCAA Tokyo 1999, p.

  • The Third Force in Myanmar
    The Third Force and the Architecture of Civil Society -State Relations in the Transition in Myanmar, 2008-2017 The Third Force and the Architecture of Civil Society -State Relations in the Transition in Myanmar, 2008-2017 ___________________________ Mael Raynaud Independent Analyst [email protected] Abstract Myanmar has embarked on a political transition in 2011, a transition better described here as a transition to a hybrid system, with elements of democracy and elements of a military rule. Building on the existing literature on transitions, political crises, civil society, and political influence, the present article attempts to define what the role of civil society has been in this process. Using the author ‘s concepts of a social stupa, in Myanmar, and of the "architecture of civil society-state relations", observed through various "points วารสาร สิทธิและสันติศึกษา ปีที่ 4 ฉบับที่ 2 of contacts" between the two, the author sets an argument that political influence is stronger in the points of contact at the top of the social stupa where the civil society elite meets political elite. In that sense, civil society leaders can be seen as groups that organically channel the voice of civil society to those in power. This perspective explains the strategy behind the Third Force, a group of civil society leaders that gained influence in the wake of cyclone Nargis in 2008 and had a significant impact on the political process, and officially or semi-officially became advisors to President U Thein Sein from 2011 to 2016. The article then argues that the NLD government has cut much of these ties, but that civil society-state relations have nevertheless been profoundly re-shaped in the last decade.
