MYANMAR’S political, humanitarian and health crisis is surging terribly under the military dictatorship and its lack of capacity to contain the resurgence of the Covid-19 pandemic. In tandem, the time is fast approaching for a diplomatic battle over the representation of Myanmar at the United Nations General Assembly.

The country has rapidly descended into chaos since the military toppled the democratically elected civilian government and seized power in a coup. The military has viciously attacked, killed and abducted its own people – peaceful protestors in opposition to the military dictatorship, those who joined the Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM).
