They instead actively destroy a multi-layered history & social fabric to justify an ideology of fascist historical invention. No community is safe - Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, Hindu. Little wonder half of Myanmar is now in open rebellion 3/3

Across the country centuries of inter-religious co-existence & community is being burnt & bulldozed so the army can claim it descends from and acts in the lineage of ancient kings. But unlike them, today’s dictatorship cares nothing for how people coexist in everyday life 2/3

Disgusted that #Myanmar’s dictatorship will destroy > 20 religious sites in Taungoo, Bago Region - including one of the most historically important Catholic Cathedrals - to build a fantasy version of the ancient ‘Kaytumati’ kingdom on their ashes. 1/3 heraldmalaysia.com/news/myanmar-p…

📰NEW PAPER One common misconceptions about informal economies is that they do not pay taxes. In our new @WorldDevJournal article we use a survey of 2500 informal workers in Accra to show that tax burdens can be very real, highly regressive, and skewed: authors.elsevier.com/c/1kC54,6yxDST…

#Myanmar junta blocked rescue teams from reaching Loikaw in #Karenni State, turning away volunteers at military checkpoints and leaving thousands of residents in need of evacuation, food, and medicine. The junta that kills civilians has no intention of helping flood victims.
The Irrawaddy (Eng)@IrrawaddyNews

Residents of Karenni capital report food and medicine is running short while people are falling ill from contaminated floodwater up to 1.5 meters deep. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar Help The Irrawaddy Report the Truth from Myanmar bit.ly/3btQYpR bit.ly/4e7oqBA

Heartbroken to hear of Paul Minoletti's passing. He was a remarkably good-natured, thoughtful advocate for social reform in Myanmar. At this critical moment may his grounded optimism, acuity & generosity live on & continue to energise visions of progress bit.ly/3AYo9SG

Over 30 Rohingya civil society organisations and 115 more from across Myanmar have criticised the Arakha Army for its violence against Rohingya, likely including the Naf River massacre. They also condemn ARSA, ARA and RSO as proxy gangs of the junta bit.ly/3YXEcua

As #Myanmar military loses more ground to resistance forces, they are intensifying airstrikes targeting civilians. 🚨 Urgent need for coordinated international action: 👉 global arms embargo 👉 cut aviation fuel 👉 protect the people Weekly highlight: bit.ly/4dM1E1p
