Important Update: The Asia Program is pleased to release a Burmese translation of our landmark event on the crisis in Myanmar. The video posted above now contains Burmese subtitles.
Since the February 1st coup in Myanmar, the military regime has deployed widespread violence and repression against protesters and anti-junta activists, while the mass movement continues to rally against the regime. Last month, democratically-elected members of parliament, activists, and members of ethnic minority groups announced the creation of a National Unity Government (NUG) to oppose the military and return the ousted government to power. Today, the movement to restore democracy continues to resist the military takeover, and the future of Myanmar hangs in the balance.
Please join the Wilson Center’s Asia Program for a special event on the ongoing crisis in Myanmar. With opening remarks by Ambassador Mark Green, President, Director, and CEO of the Wilson Center, Daw Zin Mar Aung, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the NUG of Myanmar, will provide us with a keynote speech to discuss the National Unity Government’s perspective on the crisis.
