THREAD: Tough to see any real improvement if @ASEAN & #Myanmar #military fail to see eye-to-eye on how far 5-point consensus has come in last 16 months. #ASEAN has just given #Myanmar #military 3 more months till Nov to show results of 5-point plan. 1/5 #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

But in latest rebuttal to @ASEAN, #Myanmar #military remains obstinate & defiant as it objected to #ASEAN's accusation that military has shown "lack of progress" in implementing 5-point plan to resolve crisis. Military staged #coup on Feb 1, 2021. 2/5
#WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

#Myanmar #military in turn accuses @ASEAN of making "1-sided assessment" of its 5-point consensus implementation efforts & that bloc was not appraising results in an "objective and fair manner based on the factual updates and situations on the ground" 3/5 #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

#Myanmar #military also took issue with 5 @ASEAN #AICHR members for condemning army's execution of 4 "democracy activists". Army calls them "criminals" & they were executed for their "terrorist activities". But trials were all conducted in secrecy 4/5 #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

#Myanmar #military reiterates #coup crisis is a domestic affair & @ASEAN should refrain from "interferences in internal affairs of fellow member states, subversion & coercion". Many say it's not internal issue with urgent humanitarian/security needs #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar END🧵
