1/6 Incredible timing. #Adani sells Yangon port just hours after being exposed for continuing their business partnership with the #Myanmar military & seeking new coal business deals with them. Amazing achievement by @JusticeMyanmar & others. But serious questions must be asked.🧵
2/6 How did #Adani suddenly find a buyer for its Yangon port just hours after the release of highly damaging leaked documents, when they’ve spent the last 2 years dragging their feet and privately cosying up to sanctioned military generals? #Myanmarft.com/content/9e62df…
3/6 #Adani have sold their #Myanmar port to a mysterious company named Solar Energy Ltd for $30M. Who is this company and where are they based? Who is the ultimate beneficial owner of Solar Energy Ltd? What, if any, human rights due diligence has Adani conducted on this company?
4/6 #Adani have only been forced to exit #Myanmar because they were caught red-handed & freaked out about investor backlash. Not because they’ve suddenly developed a conscience. Adani’s belated divestment doesn’t change the fact they misled investors and the people of Myanmar.
5/6 #Adani told the world they were exiting #Myanmar back in 2021, but behind the scenes were seeking new business deals with sanctioned military generals and referring to them as ‘your excellency’. Adani are proven liars and investors would be fools to trust a word they say.
6/6 Before being forced to exit Adani provided millions of $$ to the #Myanmar military that has enabled the junta’s campaign of terror. If #Adani have even a shred of decency they will put the proceeds from the sale of their port into a fund for victims of the junta’s atrocities.

Huge breaking story on @abcnews from @jrojourno. #Adani sought new coal business ventures with sanctioned #Myanmar military entities on the very same day that it was telling the world it was exiting the country. Key points below🧵 abc.net.au/news/2023-05-0…
"leaked documents obtained by a Myanmar human rights group & shared with ABC Investigations reveal #Adani, on the same day it flagged its exit from the port, lodged an "expression of interest" to export coal from #Myanmar... that would help fund the brutal regime.
"In a letter to a US-sanctioned junta minister, an #Adani exec said the group was also negotiating a related electricity supply deal with the regime."
BREAKING: Leaked documents expose #Adani continuing its business partnership and even seeking new coal business deals with the murderous Myanmar military, which is ramping up its campaign of terror against the people of #Myanmar. #StopAdani
#Adani sought new coal business deals with the #Myanmar military at the same time it was telling the world it was exiting the country. Adani's investors could be funding war crimes and genocide. @JusticeMyanmar@theACIJ are calling for investors & ratings agencies to #StopAdani
The #Myanmar military recently bombed a large gathering of innocent civilians, killing at least 165 people, including many children. #Adani is enabling these atrocities by doing business with the Myanmar military. Adani’s investors are complicit & must divest immediately.
ANOTHER 🧵OF THINGS UNRAVELING FOR ADANI'S COAL EMPIRE 🔥
If #Adani wants to prove it can do business differently it should start by halting:
🚮Carmichael coal mine
🚮 11 new coal mines destroying communities & forest across 🇮🇳
🚮12GWs of new coal power livemint.com/companies/news…
"#Adani is seeking to sell a part of its stake in Ambuja Cement to reduce its debt & restore the flagging confidence of investors... This would be the group’s first asset sale after it was hammered by allegations by #Hindenburg..." thewire.in/business/adani…
Slight reprieve for #Adani this week due to a baffling $1.9B from @GQGPartners-who apparently❤️fossil fuels > due diligence. Aside from that it’s been a total binfire for the rapidly unraveling coal giant. Here’s another round up of bad news for Adani’s destructive coal empire🧵
#Adani 🤥 no. 4080
Adani can’t keep its story straight about the size of its Carmichael #coal mine. The group has made many contradictory and misleading statements about the size of Carmichael, often changing its story depending on which audience it’s addressing. #StopAdani
#Adani🤥no. 4081
2021: Adani told @Vanguard_Group “they had capped the size of the (Carmichael) mine & intended to set an end date for operations to fit within the parameters of a 1.5°C warming scenario."
2022: Adani said they were expanding to 25-30MTPA. marketforces.org.au/vanguards-farc…
