THREAD: Tough to see any real improvement if @ASEAN & #Myanmar #military fail to see eye-to-eye on how far 5-point consensus has come in last 16 months. #ASEAN has just given #Myanmar #military 3 more months till Nov to show results of 5-point plan. 1/5 #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
But in latest rebuttal to @ASEAN, #Myanmar #military remains obstinate & defiant as it objected to #ASEAN's accusation that military has shown "lack of progress" in implementing 5-point plan to resolve crisis. Military staged #coup on Feb 1, 2021. 2/5
#WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
#WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
#Myanmar #military in turn accuses @ASEAN of making "1-sided assessment" of its 5-point consensus implementation efforts & that bloc was not appraising results in an "objective and fair manner based on the factual updates and situations on the ground" 3/5 #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
#ASEAN foreign ministers concluded #Cambodia meeting by giving #Myanmar #military another 3 more months till November @ASEAN leaders' summit to show progress in 5-point consensus & to resolve #coup crisis. Otherwise leaders forced to take additional steps #WhatsHappeningInMyamar
Since @ASEAN leaders came up with 5-point plan 16 months ago, bloc has been "deeply disappointed by the limited progress in & the lack of commitment" by #Myanmar #military to implement it. Some like #Malaysia calling for stronger action towards military #WhatsHappeningInMyamar
Aside from making little/no progress on @ASEAN 5-point consensus, #Myanmar #military has even gone on to ignore regional bloc's pleas to not execute political prisoners, to return #AungSanSuuKyi back to home detention & not jail & to stop the violence. #WhatsHappeningInMyamar
#Russia foreign minister #Lavrov is now in #Myanmar #NayPyiTaw. He's expected to meet #military-appointed foreign minister. But he may also meet military chief while there. After this 1-day visit, he'll head to #Cambodia for @ASEAN-related meetings. #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar
While @ASEAN chair #Cambodia PM #HunSen is opening #ASEAN foreign ministers' meeting in #PhnomPenh, #Russia foreign minister #Lavrov is in #Myanmar showing greater support for Myanmar. #Moscow aims to up defence, security cooperation with Myanmar #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar
Since #coup ongoing for 18 months, #Myanmar #military chief has failed to implement @ASEAN 5-point consensus, ignored #ASEAN chair #Cambodia PM's pleas to not execute 4 political prisoners & return #AungSanSuuKyi to house arrest, failed to stop violence #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar
#Cambodia foreign minister Prak Sokhonn briefed diplomatic corps and journalists at the foreign ministry today on his second official trip to #Myanmar as #Asean special envoy. Here are some takeaways: ... 👇
1) Prak Sokhonn said despite requesting "again and again" to meet Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and her lawyer(s) as well as ex-first lady Daw Su Su Lwin, he couldn't get access to them with reasons cited by #Tatmadaw:
- Cases in court proceeding (ASSK/Lawyer).
- Health condition (SSL).
- Cases in court proceeding (ASSK/Lawyer).
- Health condition (SSL).
2) After meeting #Tatmadaw boss Snr Gen Min Aung Hlaing and chief negotiator Lt Gen Yar Pyae, Prak Sokhonn said @NUGMyanmar's People's Defence Force appears to also have a "share of responsibility" on violence, vandalism, and murders of civil servants.
