Can Sanctions Work in Myanmar?

Can Sanctions Work in Myanmar? Sanctions and mass boycotts have hurt the junta and driven investors away. Could stronger steps actually bring about regime change? May 21, 2021 Anti-coup protesters flash the three-finger salute during a demonstration in Yangon, Myanmar, Friday, May 14, 2021. Credit: AP Photo Advertisement More than 100 days after the February coup in Myanmar, and with no sign of action from a divided U.N. Security Council, international sanctions and boycott campaigns have assumed an ever greater importance in denying any legitimacy to the new military junta. Western governments responding to global outrage at the mounting bloodshed have expanded sanctions to target the vast labyrinth of the Myanmar military’s economic assets, which are based on two conglomerates: Myanmar Economic Holdings Limited (MEHL) and Myanmar Economic Corporation (MEC).

Set Your Priorities Right — Kafui Danku to Child Rights International

Having had a successful legal challenge against social media influencer, Rosemond Brown, popularly known as Akuapem Poloo, for her nude picture with her seven-year old son, the Executive Director of Child Rights International, Bright Appiah, has been emboldened. He has received the ‘vim’ to now pursue other legal issues against celebrities who do things considered illegal such as those who use their children as a source of income through endorsement deals and as brand ambassadors. Mr Appiah’s intentions, which he gave a hint about in a radio interview recently, is not one that sits well with some celebrities, particularly actress Kafui Danku, who has called off the bluff of the organisation and urged Bright Appiah and his team to channel their energies into productive ventures.

US Senators Call for Sanctions on Myanmar Oil and Gas Enterprise

US Senators Call for Sanctions on Myanmar Oil and Gas Enterprise Yadana gas field offshore facility in the Andaman Sea. / Total Myanmar 472 By The Irrawaddy 28 April 2021 U.S senators have urged the Biden administration to impose sanctions on Myanmar’s state-owned oil and gas enterprise the largest source of foreign revenue for the military regime – in the aftermath of the Feb. 1 coup and the junta’s ongoing human rights abuses against Myanmar’s people. On Tuesday, a bipartisan group of U.S senators including Jeff Merkley, Marco Rubio and four others, sent a letter calling on Washington to target or freeze all foreign currency revenues and foreign exchange reserves held in state accounts outside of Myanmar. The senators said that the administration’s first step should be imposing sanctions on the state-owned Myanmar Oil and Gas Enterprise (MOGE), now under the control of the junta’s leaders.
