Now that some attacks and battles are being led by the NUG, it will be interesting to see if they can make “Myanmar military” as contested a phrase as “Myanmar government”. In my opinion, this could be just as important as gaining international recognition. A 🧵

This is because it would completely change the debate around the use of violence by the anti-junta movement - a debate that is only possible due to the underlying belief that states have the exclusive right to use violence to enforce their will.

That’s why property seizure, prisons, and even the death penalty not generally seen as forms of violence, while even a firefight to keep soldiers from invading a village is seen as something that needs to be debated.

The hostility expressed in this person's thread against people of Burmese heritage openly embracing that heritage is unfortunately common, but beyond the cruelty of it, is also also incredibly violent. So here's a🧵on identity and belonging and some personal feelings.

https://twitter.com/HtuuLRae/status/1453005267117953030

There is an estimated 4.5 million Myanmar people living abroad. That's 1 in 13 Myanmar people globally, and a majority of them left to escape physical violence or out of economic need. In the last 80 years, every single generation has seen waves of displacement.

So while the lived experiences of diaspora and those who have never left Myanmar are different, given how diverse the country is and how common displacement is, you could almost argue that finding yourself in a position to have to leave Myanmar is also a very Burmese experience.

This 🧵is partially a response to the open letters that have been posted recently and partially some things that didn’t make it into my most recent article. As is often the case, there was so much more information gathered than there was room on the page

https://twitter.com/jonnymgkaung/status/1438075672660832259

There are a number of claims being made in the above letter and this one, and also a request that the article be taken down. I’ll do my best to address each of these points and explain why the article will not be taken down below.

https://twitter.com/jonnymgkaung/status/1438075672660832259

The letters claim I 1) don’t understand what’s happening on the ground 2) am trying to discredit Dr. Sasa and Mr. LeQuieu 3) violated confidentiality 4) put people at risk 5) misrepresented Marc’s teachings 6) claimed the NUG/PDFs support terrorism & 7) am writing in a biased way

With stories like this, so much gets left out of the final publication. This is a 🧵of some of the wild things said by Marc LeQuieu that were left out of this story, in part to avoid making him out to be a fool and that shouldn't have been the focus of it.
newnaratif.com/dr-sasa-visits…

I made this thread since many have raised questions about what exactly LeQuieu said in these meetings that was so questionable that it warranted a whole article (which can now be read in Burmese as well). newnaratif.com/my/dr-sasa-vis…

I stand by the final story, but it also leaves out just how bad some of LeQuieu’s advice was. This ranges from stuff that was factually incorrect to stuff that was not useful in the Myanmar context. The article also leaves out just how little he seems to know about Myanmar.
