Since the military coup occurred on 1 February 2021 in Myanmar three years have passed.  The situation in Myanmar is critical. At present the ethnic resistance forces have started a fierce retaliation against the Junta forces. The Junta has ordered a mandatory conscription of young Myanmar nationals to replenish its forces.

The response of the international community has yet to provide assistance to gain sustainable peace in Myanmar. The UN Security Council resolution 2669 is yet to be fully implemented. ASEAN’s response has not been vigorous.  

SAHR, representing South Asians, stands together with the people of Myanmar who have risked their lives in demanding peace and political independence. We support their demands to restore the democratic order and for Myanmar’s elected leaders to be released immediately.

As a part of SAHR’s initiatives to strengthen the call of the people of Myanmar, we will be uploading published newspaper articles and statements related to the coup and the current situation in Myanmar on this web page.
