Is the President Truly Above the Commander-in-Chief? By Aung Zaw 1 June 2018 Snr. Gen. Min Aung Hlaing (left) and then- Lower House Speaker U Win Myint attend a signing ceremony marking the New Mon State Party's ratification of the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement in Naypyitaw in February. / Myo Min Soe / The Irrawaddy

Executive power in Myanmar is divided between the civilian government and armed forces. As many political observers put it, there are two lions sharing a cave.

But then how can the president exercise his executive power to order the military to stop fighting in an ethnic minority region, particularly in the north?

Indeed, this is an ongoing debate among political observers and ethnic leaders.

U Win Myint is now president and believed to be focusing on fixing several critical problems. But he will also — many hope — be given more executive power from his boss, and Myanmar’s de facto leader, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.

This debate resumed when UN Security Council members visited Myanmar (after Bangladesh) to learn about the crisis in northern Rakhine State in early May.

Senior General Min Aung Hlaing told the council delegates: “Our Tatmadaw [military] represents Myanmar, and though I am the head of the Tatmadaw, our country has the president. And we Tatmadaw act under the leadership of the president.”

He was responding to a question about clearance operations in Rakhine State that have driven some 700,000 mostly Muslim Rohingya to neighboring Bangladesh.

The Tatmadaw, the army chief added, “is under the guidance of the Myanmar government. We only take action according to the mandate given by law and we are not authorized to do anything beyond the limits of the law.”

We still don’t know if U Win Myint has had any quality conversations about this sensitive subject with Snr. Gen. Min Aung Hlaing since he took office in March.

But it is clear who ordered the 2,000 to 4,000 troops to Rakhine State when Muslim terrorists began attacking civilians.

The deployment was ordered not by then-President Htin Kyaw, but by Snr. Gen. Min Aung Hlaing.

Page 2 of 25

In August, a delegation comprising seven members of the Arakan National Party visited the army chief to discuss local concerns and called for heightened security measures in Rakhine State. They asked the military to send more troops because ARSA and other radical Muslims had slaughtered local civilians.

Who, then, ordered the clearance operations? Snr. Gen. Min Aung Hlaing or U Htin Kyaw? The answer is obvious. Interestingly, though, there was no counter-statement from the civilian administration.

This week The Irrawaddy asked a Defense Ministry official whether the military was prepared to obey if President U Win Myint were to order it to stop fighting in Kachin State.

Brigadier General Aung Kyaw Hoe, the ministry’s permanent secretary, replied: “The Tatmadaw is under the leadership of the state. The president is the head of the country. If he gives an executive order, we are ready to obey. There is no reason we won’t obey it.”

It is understood that his answer caused some in Naypyitaw to hit the roof. Regardless, will U Win Myint test his powers and order the military to stop fighting in Kachin?

Former President U Thein Sein, an ex-general who was lauded as a reformer, ordered the military to halt attacks on the Kachin in 2011. As a result, the fighting gradually ceased and the leaders of the Kachin Independence Army came to the negotiating table. But the generals complained that the Kachin had expanded their bases during the peace talks and the attacks resumed.

Since the National League for Democracy took control of the civilian government in early 2016, the National Defense Security Council has not met. Though the army and government have had joint security briefings, the fighting in Kachin should be discussed at a proper meeting of the council.

Ethnic leaders are frustrated with Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s long silence on the fighting in Kachin and Shan states. She has been to Kachin and visited camps housing displaced families. But it seems she has little influence over the army chief, even after gushing that she was fond of the military as her father, General Aung San, had founded the armed forces.

But the real issue here is the 2008 Constitution, which forces two lions to share a cave and limits the civilian government’s executive powers.

As the Constitution clearly states: “The Defense Services have the right to independently administer and adjudicate all affairs of the armed forces and the commander-in-chief of the Defense Services is the supreme commander of all armed forces.”

It goes on: “The Defense Services have the right to administer military affairs independently; the Defense Services are mainly responsible for safeguarding the non-disintegration of the Union, the non-disintegration of national solidarity and the perpetuation of sovereignty; the Defense Services are mainly responsible for safeguarding the Constitution.”

Page 3 of 25

Myanmar’s fundamental power structure won’t change if the military continues to play a leading role in national politics as stipulated by the Constitution. It will only serve to set the two lions on a collision course.

But wishful thinking among some political observers has it that the generals may be hinting that they are ready to compromise with the current civilian government now that they say they are under the president’s orders. Or they may simply be trying to shift the blame for the Rakhine crisis onto the civilian government with international rebuke focused mainly on them.

Some are asking why the civilian leadership is so silent and displaying a siege mentality.

At a press conference in May 2016, Snr. Gen. Min Aung Hlaing said: “The commander-in- chief is ranked below the president. Contrary to what many assume, we are working together [with the civilian government].”

So should U Win Myint order the military to stop fighting in Kachin State and see how the army responds?

Isn’t it time for the president and army chief to sit down and be frank about who is telling the truth?

Kachin youth activists launch potent anti-war movement Thursday, May 31, 2018

A recent upsurge in conflict in Kachin State has sparked anti-war protests in major cities, as youth activists band together with support from more experienced community and civil society leaders.

IN LATE APRIL, a crowd began to form at the Manau Park in Myitkyina, the Kachin State capital. The demonstrators – several thousand, according to media reports – were calling on the government to rescue those trapped by recent fighting between the Tatmadaw and the Kachin Independence Army.

Page 4 of 25

The latest spike in fighting started in April around the amber mining township of Tanai, but has since spread to different parts of the state. An estimated 8,000 people have been displaced across Kachin and northern Shan states since April, said Mr Pierre Person, spokesperson for the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. Many are trapped in the conflict zone without access to humanitarian aid, but rights groups have been unable to confirm exactly how many are stuck and unable to flee to safety.

The protesters have called on the government to free the IDPs, to provide them with humanitarian assistance and to establish new IDP camps in affected areas.

Much of the public anger has been directed at the National League of Democracy, who they accuse of doing little to stand up for the Kachin people since the party came to office two years ago and promised to make the peace process a priority. The leaders of the protest have also called for Dr Hket Awng, the NLD-appointed chief minister of Kachin State, to resign.

Tired of waiting for the government to take action, young Kachin activists have organised themselves into the “Kachin Youth Movement” and are being supported by more experienced community and civil society leaders.

A few days after the protests started, on the evening of May 3, protest leaders met with Hket Awng to lay out their demands. After several hours of talks, they left without a concrete agreement.

The protests in Manau Park have ended peacefully for the time being, but leaders of the movement have said they intend to keep pushing for their demands.

The military is also fighting back. On May 8, Lieutenant Colonel Myo Min Oo from the Tatmadaw’s Northern Command filed criminal defamation complaints against three of the event’s organisers, Lum Zawng, Nang Pu and Zau Jat for alleged statements made on April 30 and May 1. They each face a potential two-year prison sentence and/or a fine if they are found guilty.

A new movement

Anti-war protests are not new in Kachin State, but this time the movement has attracted considerable momentum, with similar demonstrations held in Yangon and Mandalay in solidarity. Protest leaders told Frontier that they are still planning their next move, and some are speculating that this could represent a new generation of anti-war youth leaders in Myanmar.

“We have had a lot of support from people in Myanmar, and around the world. It’s very encouraging,” said Seng Hkum, who has emerged as one of the movement’s leaders in Myitkyina.

He told Frontier by phone May 18 that since the protests stopped in Myitkyina the group has been watching how the government responds.

“We are sticking to our demands, that the IDPs need to be released,” he said. “We are young civilians and we desire peace. We encourage the government and the military to end armed conflict.”

Lum Zawng is another leader of the KYM. Speaking to Frontier at the protest site in Myitkyina on May 5, he called the demonstrations a “democratic movement”.

“We have a lot of media attention and many supporters. Civilians and civic organisations are actively supporting our movement, which is trying to free the IDPs,” he said.

“It is a long process, but we don’t want to spend a long time here [in Manau Park]. This is why we are pushing directly to the [Myanmar] army commander-in-chief, and discussing different approaches and strategies,” he said.

Many of the Kachin heavily involved in civil society became politically active after a 17-year ceasefire broke down in June 2011, said Stella Naw, a Kachin activist and analyst.

“It physically hurt when the war re-started, even though I wasn’t living in the conflict zone,” she said. “I grew up in Myitkyina, during a ceasefire period, so I didn’t really know war, [but] that’s changed. Innocent civilians were targeted, and that’s why we became angry.”

‘World’s longest war’

Fighting between the KIA and the Myanmar Army dates back to 1961 and has been described as one of the longest wars in the world. June 9 will mark seven years since a 17- year ceasefire broke down; more than 100,000 people have been displaced as a result of the conflict.

Since April, clashes between the Tatmadaw and the KIA have been reported in several Kachin townships, including Hpakant, Tanai, Injangyan, Momauk, Myitkyina and Waingmaw. Fighting has also occurred close to the KIA headquarters at Laiza. Page 6 of 25

Ms Yanghee Lee, the special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar, said the recent increase in conflict was “wholly unacceptable, and must stop immediately”.

“Innocent civilians are being killed and injured, and hundreds of families are now fleeing for their lives. Civilians must never be subjected to violence during the course of conflict,” she said in a May 2 statement.

Steve Tickner | Frontier

A May 15 statement by the Kachin Women’s Association Thailand accused the Tatmadaw of committing war crimes in three townships: Hpakant, Tanai and Injangyang. The statement said soldiers had blocked IDPs from escaping and used them as human shields and minesweepers. The Tatmadaw had also indiscriminately shelled and bombed civilian areas, while its soldiers had looted and destroyed property, the group said.

Asked about the accusations, government spokesperson U Zaw Htay directed questions to the military. A military spokesperson could not be reached for comment.

One Kachin man from Injangyan Township who sought refuge in a church on the outskirts of Myitkyina told Frontier in mid-May he fled after Tatmadaw soldiers came to his village of Bum Nan Yang.

The rest of his family also fled the fighting but he hadn’t been able to contact them for almost a week.

“I don’t know what to do. We have to stay here. We can’t go home because the Tatmadaw is there,” said the man. “The conflict is between armed groups, we civilians are not holding guns. Why torture and kill us? I would like to request the international community to come and stop the fighting.”

A 96-year-old IDP, located at another camp on the outskirts of Myitkyina, told Frontier by telephone that she had fled fighting in her home state many times before.

“I ran into the forest in the past. But this time I ran here with my family to avoid the fighting. I heard the crack of gunfire near my village, and also the sound of gunfire from a plane,” she said.

A sign of solidarity

The momentum of the Kachin Youth Movement has spread, and anti-war protests have also been held in other parts of the country, including Yangon and Mandalay.

On May 12, hundreds of demonstrators held a protest in Yangon calling for an end to the violence in Kachin State, as well as other parts of the country. The organisers planned to

Page 7 of 25 march from Tarmwe to the city’s downtown area but were informed shortly before the protest that authorities had denied them permission to hold the event.

The protest turned physical when several protestors attempted to pass a line of police armed with riot shields, and at least eight of the protesters were arrested. Pictures shared on social media appeared to show plain-clothed vigilantes helping police disperse the crowds.

Ko Moe Thway, who was involved in the Yangon protests, told Frontier that the organisers wanted to show solidarity with the Kachin people and to see peace in Myanmar.

“We were very surprised by the scale of the crackdown. We have never seen [the police] use water hoses before. We didn’t expect it to escalate,” he said.

Moe Thway said that the organisers had followed the correct procedures by informing authorities of their plans for the protest.

“I am not sure about the next protests. That crackdown made a lot of people angry, but it also made people scared,” he said.

A spokesperson for the European Union delegation in Myanmar, which is leading a five-year programme training the Myanmar Police Force, said they could not confirm that the MPF had hired vigilantes to work alongside police officers during demonstrations.

“The recent incidents during the peace protests have shown once more that more needs to be done to modernise the police force, strengthen their operational capacities and establish a trustful relationship with the communities,” the spokesperson said by email.

“We acknowledge that structural changes do need time, and – considering the depth of reform needed – we have only just started. The EU therefore remains fully committed to supporting police reform and to continuing our cooperation with the Myanmar government and the police force on that matter.”

Stella Naw, the Kachin activist, said that many Kachin people believe strongly in the cause of the Kachin Independence Organisation, the political wing of the KIA, to fight for the rights of Kachin people.

“The Kachin struggle will continue until we receive political equality. It might not always be an armed conflict, but it will continue in some form. So the youth are important,” she said.

“Kachin people, the youth, they are angry and upset and fed up with all this oppression. [The youth movement] will keep coming in different forms,” she said. “We don’t know where it will go, but it will keep coming.”

Over 600 Namtu IDPs return home Submitted by Eleven on Fri, 06/01/2018 | Writer: Maung Htoo More than 600 IDPs from Namtu Township returned home on May 25, said Moiyin village tract administrator Tun Lin on May 31. IDPs ran from their homes due to fighting between Shan State Progressive Party (SSPP) and Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA) in Mansaroat village and nearby villages that took place on May 4. The army and the TNLA clashed in the area again on May 10 and 16. Some civilians sustained injuries in the fighting and their homes damaged, said Tun Lin. A man and woman sustained injuries in the conflicts occurred on May 4 and he was sent to Lashio Hospital for further treatment. The woman was also sent to Namtu Hospital. They are now discharged from the hospitals but the man is not in a condition to begin working again, he said. The IDPs hail from Lalon, Nasan, Napain, Mansaon, Mansalon, Konemon, Monai and Nalin villages and had taken shelter at monasteries in Manyin, Wainnan and Pankhan villages. Tun Lin claims no further clashes have been reported. The area is occupied by the army, the RCSS, SSPP and TNLA. At present, the TNLA holds tension with the army although they are not fighting with the SSPP and RCSS, said Col. Mai Aike Kyaw, spokesperson of the TNLA on May 31. http://www.elevenmyanmar.com/local/14046 ------

Shan State Parliament Refuses to Let Lawmaker Raise ‘Human Shield’ Allegations By Lawi Weng 1 June 2018 Local IDPs seek sanctuary in town in Kyaukme in 2016. / Lawi Weng / The Irrawaddy

Shan State Parliament refused to discuss allegations that different armed forces had used local civilians as human shields to clear landmines in northern Shan State, according to a local lawmaker who tried to raise the issue.

Sai Htun Nyan, from the Shan Nationalities League for Democracy (SNLD) from Kyaukme Township in northern Shan, told The Irrawaddy that many people in his constituency had provided accounts of how they were forced to act as “guides,” walking in front of military units through minefields. While many of the armed groups active in the area employ the practice, the Myanmar Army does it the most, he said.

Shan State Parliament was in session from May 24 to 31 when Sai Htun Nyan proposed discussing the issue with the intention to condemn the armed groups that employed the practice, but Parliament officials turned him down.

“They did not accept my proposal. They did not inform me with an official notice. Parliament officials just told me that I could not talk about it in Parliament and that the government office would not give me permission,” Sai Htun Nyan said.

The lawmaker said his brief did not mention any armed groups by name although the Parliament and government probably understood whom he was going to identify, and therefore rejected his motion.

Page 10 of 25

“It seemed to me that if I condemned other ethnic armed groups and mentioned particular names, they would let my proposal pass and I would be able to raise the issue in Parliament. But as it was likely to mention their army, they blocked it,” he said.

Lawmakers are required to propose the issues the want to table in Parliament 10 days before they intend to talk. The parliamentary office then examines the proposal, and if they agree to it, they let the lawmaker raise the issue in Parliament for discussion.

Normally, it is the parliamentary office that is responsible for screening the suggested topics and making a decision on whether to allow them to be raised. However, in this instance the Shan State government asked local authorities to check the lawmakers’ proposals, in violation of parliamentary procedure, Sai Htun Nyan said.

“I wanted to highlight the incident of a mine explosion that injured a local villager in Taw Sang,” he said.

Taw Sang is a village in Kyaukme where there have been frequent clashes between the Restoration Council of Shan State (RCSS) and the Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA) but it has also been the site of fighting between the Myanmar Army and the TNLA.

According to Sai Htun Nyan, a local ethnic Shan man was forced to walk ahead of a Myanmar Army infantry column in a conflict area where he stepped on a land mine on May 3. The man was wounded in his leg while some nearby soldiers were killed on the spot by the explosion. The army was in the area to investigate the scene after a clash between the RCSS and TNLA.

“It is quite usual for our Shan armed groups to use civilians as guides. If they are lucky and there is no fighting, the local person is allowed to return home. This practice has been widely used by many of the armed groups in Shan State. But, the Tatmadaw (Myanmar Army) uses it the most,” Sai Htun Nyan added.

“I feel sad as I cannot talk on behalf of my constituents. I feel like I did not do my duty,” he said.

Shan State Hluttaw censors discussing on forced porter issue Friday, June 01, 2018 | Shan Herald Agency for News | by - Hom Hurng

The Shan State Hluttaw removed a proposal on forced porter issue from its agenda as it was concerned with the military.

Sai Tun Nyan, a State Hluttaw MP from Kyaukme Township and a member of the Shan Nationalities League for Democracy (SNLD), submitted a proposal to stop armed groups from forcing civilians to work as porters or guides. Page 11 of 25

His proposal was accepted by the State Hluttaw Speaker but he was not allowed to discuss it during the three-day parliamentary session after the Shan State government office asked for its removal from the agenda.

“I submitted a proposal objecting to the forced use of civilians as guides in military affairs in the Shan State on May 10. No armed group should force villagers to work as their guides. It shouldn’t be allowed. This issue doesn’t exist in other countries across the world. If I can discuss a little about it in the hluttaw, it would be a starting point for public security. But, the hluttaw [session] is ending tomorrow. My proposal hasn’t been included in the agenda,” Sai Tun Nyan told the Shan Herald.

When he contacted the hluttaw office, the director told him that his proposal was submitted to the government office after it was accepted by the Hluttaw Speaker. The government office replied that it should be removed so it was not included in the agenda, he explained.

Although to rules and regulations, MPs have the right to discuss the proposals in the hluttaw after they have been accepted by the Hluttaw Speaker but his proposal was turned down since it was concerned with the military, he continued.

“I didn’t name the Tatmadaw [in my proposal]. I only wrote any armed groups. Both the government and the hluttaw are still afraid when it comes to the military. Now, the government office said it won’t allow discussions on military affairs so in my opinion, the hluttaw is still under the government and the government is still under the military. This shouldn’t happen at all,” said Sai Tun Nyan.

According to him, the Tatmadaw detained U Lone Sai Ba Kyaw from Tawt Sang Village and forced him to work as a guide during the fighting between the Tatmadaw and the Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA) in Kyaukme Township on May 3. U Lone Sai Ba Kyaw received an injury on his leg after stepping on a landmine on the road. Local residents reported the incident and urged the MP to assist them for public security so the MP submitted the proposal to the hluttaw.

Civilians in the war-torn ethnic areas especially the northern Shan State are still being forced to work as porters and landmines have not been cleared away. Many residents have been killed and injured after stepping on the landmines when they went to work on their farms, according to Namtu residents that have been assisting the internally displaced residents.

KNU Agricultural Department decide to prioritize measuring land, solving land disputes Friday, June 01, 2018 | Karen Information Center | by - Sa Isue

The Karen National Union’s Agriculture Department will give priority to assist the public in obtaining their land ownership rights and solve land issues that rose up in the mixed controlled areas within this year.

The department made the decision during its 12th year-end meeting held at Kalo Yaw Hta under Hpa-an District on May 30.

Local residents from the KNU-controlled areas have been demanding the KNU to do required land measurements in order to obtain land grants.

Padoh Saw Lel Say, secretary of the KNU’s Agriculture Department, said confrontations may arise between the government and the KNU over the land issues in areas of dual administrations between the government and the KNU.

“We will continue to prioritize land measurements in accordance with the work program set down by respective central districts. Land issues have risen now in some mixed areas. The ward and village administrators and township land records department have been working together in selling off public lands,” Padoh Saw Lel Say told KIC News.

Most of the land issues occur in the KNU’s Hpa-an, Doopalaya, and Thaton districts and land disputes are taking place between the local residents due to the land measurements carried out the government. When the department tried to solve the issues, they were told that the government was following the order from above.

Over 80 people including officials from the KNU Central Agriculture Department, agricultural department heads from seven districts, secretaries, central committee members, and experts attended the annual meeting, which was held on May 28-30, and discussed the activities they have carried out within 2017 and early 2018 and the agricultural policies, which are still being implemented.

As one of the 14 departments under the KNU, the Agriculture Department was established in 1949 and the land policy was enacted in 1974. The land policy was amended in 2005 under the slogan “The Land is for the Local People”. The existing land policy was amended for modern times in December 2014 under the slogan “Land is for the sake of the local people”, according to the KNU.

Since 2013, the KNU’s Agriculture Department has been carrying out land registrations and measurements in the Karen State and other Karen areas within its reach.

Myanmar president calls for increased efforts on drug abuse control Source: Xinhua 2018-06-01

YANGON, June 1 (Xinhua) -- Myanmar President U Win Myint has called for putting more efforts in drug abuse control in the wake of increasing drug abuse ruining the lives of youths in the country, Myanmar News Agency reported Friday.

Work needs to be conducted according to the UN Convention and must be done in cooperation with UN member countries, international and regional organizations, local and international non-governmental organizations and the people, U Win Myint told the Central Committee for Drug Abuse Control (CCDAC) in Nay Pyi Taw Thursday.

He stressed the need to widely communicate the danger of drugs to the public and to conduct treatment and rehabilitation of drug addicts, adding that effective punishment must be made for planting, producing, possessing, transporting, distributing and trading drugs.

Myanmar has seen significant decrease in opium poppy cultivation in 2017 to 41,000 hectares which was 25 percent down from the 55,500 hectares recorded in 2015, according to the Myanmar Opium Survey 2017 launched by United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in the year-end in cooperation with Myanmar.

Myanmar's eastern Shan State topped the areas with a drop of 37 percent, followed by southern Shan state with a drop of 29 percent of opium poppy cultivation reduction, but there were less than 3 or 7 percent in conflicted areas such as Northern Shan state and Kachin state. http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2018-06/01/c_137223467.htm ------

President Calls for Nationwide Anti-drug Groups to Include Civilians, Civil Society By Htun Htun 1 June 2018 President U Win Myint meets Lt-Gen Kyaw Swe on May 31 to discuss the country’s drug problem. / Myanmar President’s Office

YANGON — Myanmar’s President U Win Myint has instructed that interested civilians and civil society groups be included in forming anti-drug groups across the country.

In meeting with Lt-Gen Kyaw Swe, home affairs minister and chairman of the Central Committee for Drug Abuse Control, President U Win Myint on Thursday urged the formation

Page 14 of 25

of anti-drug committees at the township, district, regional and state levels comprised of regional authorities, civil society and civilians.

“Meth tablets are readily available across the country. The Home Affairs Ministry alone can’t control this. It calls for effective cooperation from civil society organizations and locals,” deputy minister for Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement U Soe Aung, who was present at the meeting, told The Irrawaddy.

The president also called for the formation of an anti-drug task force that works under the direct command of the Central Committee for Drug Abuse Control, along with suitable penalties for drug production, distribution and dealing.

He also spoke of the need to raise awareness of the dangers of drugs, the availability of medical treatment and the rehabilitation of drug users.

In February, the Myanmar government and the United Nations Office on Drug and Crime (UNODC) launched a new national drug control policy, which aims to contribute to safe, secure and healthy communities through a policy that addresses all aspects of the drug problem.

In his address at the launch of the new drug control policy, Lt-Gen Kyaw Swe acknowledged that “our past approach was very focused on supply reduction and less on other issues, and as a result, it did not achieve everything we had planned. By working with the UNODC and adopting UN best practices, we believe we will have much better results for the people and the country.”

In the third week of May, the UNODC said that illicit drug production rages on in conflict- torn regions in Myanmar, with supplies being smuggled into nearby countries but also reaching as far as Australia.

Malaysian authorities reported their largest ever seizure of crystal methamphetamine, nearly 1.2 tons of the drug, disguised as tea in a shipment from Myanmar on May 22.

North Korean Restaurant in Yangon Ordered to Close its Doors By Lawi Weng 1 June 2018

The government ordered a restaurant belonging to the North Korean Embassy in Yangon be shut down recently following a request from the US for Myanmar to respect a United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolution on sanctions against North Korea.

Aryani Manring, who is assistant public affairs spokesperson for the US Embassy, told The Irrawaddy that the US had urged the government of Myanmar to comply with UNSC resolutions.

“The expulsion of DPRK laborers working at the DPRK restaurant in Yangon is part of Myanmar’s compliance with DPRK-related UNSC resolutions,” Manring said, referring to the country’s official name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

Manring referred further questions about the closure of the restaurant to the Myanmar government.

The Pyongyang Koryo Restaurant opened on Saya San Road in Bahan Township in 2011 when Myanmar had better ties with North Korea.

A dozen young North Korean women who were all attired in similar dresses served tables at the restaurant. They could speak some Burmese and even sang Burmese language songs.

U Tin Soe, general secretary of the Bahan Township authority, told BBC Burmese language radio yesterday that the Myanmar Immigration Department had ordered the restaurant to close two months ago.

The restaurant has a new owner and is currently undergoing renovations, he said.

U Zaw Htay, chief spokesperson of the President’s Office, refused to comment on the government’s decision to order the restaurant shut when asked by The Irrawaddy. He suggested reporters contact the Yangon regional government for information.

Observers have speculated that the Myanmar government agreed to the US request because it wanted to show it was a good friend of the United States and respects UNSC resolutions.

In the past, the Myanmar Army bought weapons from North Korea when the two countries enjoyed better relations. When the deal was revealed, it attracted condemnation from the United States and other countries. But, today Myanmar appears to want to show that it does not have a close relationship with North Korea anymore.
