The dissolution of the National League for Democracy (NDL) party of Aung San Suu Kyi, due to the irregularities and fraud that the army claims will tarnish the November elections, will be demanded by its electoral commission. Myanmar appointed by the junta.
According to the Myanmar Now news agency, the decision was made during a meeting with political parties, which was boycotted by many of them, including the NDL.
NDL election fraud was illegal “so we will have to dissolve the partySaid the head of the Union of Electoral Commission (UEC) Thein Soe.
Myanmar’s army seized power on February 1 claiming that there was election fraud of November, in which Su Chi’s party won. At that time, the election commission had rejected the accusations of the army, as broadcast by AMPE.
After the coup, there are demonstrations and strikes in Myanmar almost every day, as a movement of political disobedience has spread in the country. Security forces have killed more than 800 people, according to the Association for the Aid of Political Prisoners.
Clashes between the army and armed minority guerrilla groups have also flared up.
THE disturbance has caused concern Myanmar’s neighbors and the international community, but the generals do not seem to intend to reach a compromise with the pro-democracy movement.
Freezing of aid
In the meantime today the Japan has announced that it may freeze all development aid it offers to Myanmar, Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi has warned.
“We do not want to get there under any circumstances, but we must make it clear that it will be difficult to continue (to offer financial assistance) in these circumstances,” Mottagi told the Nikkei financial newspaper.
“As a country that has supported the democratization process in Myanmar in various ways and as a friendly country, we must represent the international community and to send clearly “this message, he added.
Japan is one of the countries that supports Myanmar the most with development assistance, offering it the financial year 2019-2020, 1.4 billion euros. THE China, another country that supports Myanmar, does not disclose the amount of aid it provides.
In response to the February 1 coup, Tokyo announced in March the suspension of any new aid to Myanmar, but did not impose sanctions on Burmese officials, as opposed to the United States, the European Union and Britain.
Japanese diplomacy continues to talk to the junta in Myanmar, as it did before the 2011-2021 democratic parenthesis.
“Compared to Europe or the United States, we have a greater variety of (diplomatic) channels in Myanmar, even with the military,” Motegi said.

The journalist, Yuki Kitazumi, today called on the Japanese government to find “courage” and put pressure on the junta in Myanmar.
“People in Myanmar are waiting and hoping that the Japanese government will take concrete action,” he told a news conference in Tokyo. “I hope the power shown by the Japanese government, thanks to which I was released, will be used for the benefit of the people of Myanmar,” he added.
