Personal note: The signs of a coup had been present in Myanmar for years. Activists have been fighting for years for reform. What worries me is the parallels between Myanmar and what we just witnessed here in the US. It could have happened here. It almost did.

U.S. warns Myanmar’s military it’ll be punished for coup

The crisis is a challenge to Biden's vision.

>U.S. warns Myanmar’s military it’ll be punished for coup

 

The Biden administration warned Myanmar’s military officials Sunday that it will “take action” if they proceed with an apparent coup against the country’s civilian leaders.

 

The crisis in Myanmar, also known as Burma, is unfolding just days after President Joe Biden took office, and in some ways it challenges the very heart of Biden’s foreign policy vision.

 

The new president has promised to stand up for democracy and human rights around the world, including against communist-led China. A Myanmar military coup would derail significant progress the Asian country has made toward democracy in recent years. The country’s armed forces have also been accused of genocide and other atrocities against minority groups. At the same time, one reason the United States has encouraged democracy in Myanmar is to draw it out of the orbit of China, its neighbor to the northeast.

 

According to reports from the region, the Myanmar military has taken into custody several top civilian leaders, including Aung San Suu Kyi, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate and democracy activist whose political party has won recent elections. In a televised statement, the military said that it had taken control of the country and declared a state of emergency for one year.

 

The military has been unhappy with the outcome of elections in November in which Suu Kyi’s party did well, while the military-backed party fared relatively poorly. The military is alleging voter fraud. Myanmar’s new parliament was due to convene Monday for its first session.

 

In a statement late Sunday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the United States is “alarmed” by the reports.

 

“The United States opposes any attempt to alter the outcome of recent elections or impede Myanmar’s democratic transition,” Psaki said, adding that the U.S. “will take action against those responsible if these steps are not reversed.”

 

Biden has been briefed on the situation by his national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, Psaki said.

 

Psaki did not specify what types of action the United States may take if Myanmar’s military does not heed its warnings. Odds are, however, that the administration would turn to economic sanctions as it has in the past.

 

Secretary of State Antony Blinken also weighed in, with a somewhat softer statement that did not promise punishment.

“The United States stands with the people of Burma in their aspirations for democracy, freedom, peace and development,” Blinken said. “The military must reverse these actions immediately.”

 

Myanmar was ruled for decades by a military junta, which imprisoned thousands of democracy activists, scholars and journalists. In the 2000s, the country began taking steps toward opening up its system and paving the way for limited civilian rule. It has held relatively free general elections in the past decade and taken many other steps to allow for more free speech and commerce.

 

Myanmar’s progress toward democracy was hailed and heavily encouraged by the Obama administration, during which Biden served as vice president. Then-President Barack Obama lifted numerous economic sanctions on Myanmar to further encourage democratization.

 

But the military has nonetheless retained key levers of power, including effectively controlling some ministries, and has never fallen under civilian control. Suu Kyi, who spent many years under house arrest before the democratic reforms, has been the de facto civilian leader in recent years, but she’s always had to balance that with the military’s continued power.

 

The military, which like most of the population is dominated by Buddhists, has a brutal track record in Myanmar, engaging in long-running battles with the country’s ethnic minorities. In 2017, it waged a vicious crackdown on the long-persecuted Rohingya Muslims, killing thousands and pushing some 700,000 into neighboring Bangladesh.

 

Suu Kyi has refused to speak out in a meaningful way against that mass atrocity, which some officials and experts have labeled a genocide; her largely non-commital approach to the massacres and forced expulsions of the Rohingya has badly tarnished her international image.

 

Former President Donald Trump’s administration has called what happened to the Rohingya an ethnic cleansing. But Trump’s second secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, would not go so far as to call it genocide.

 

State Department officials have in the past indicated that was partly because he did not want to push Myanmar more into the arms of China, which has long been a key patron of the country.

 

During his recent confirmation hearing, Blinken, the new secretary of State, said he would review the situation of the Rohingya to determine if a genocide was committed. Blinken, and Biden, meanwhile, have said they believe that China has committed genocide against Uighur Muslims on its territory.

Alexander Soros in Myanmar a week before Xi's visit

Alexander Soros' social media page shows his meeting with education minister Dr Myo Thein Gyi.

 

Alexander Soros, son of the the American Billionaire George Soros, had paid a visit to Myanmar's capital Nay Pyi Taw - a week before the Chinese President Xi Jinping makes his official visit at the behest of President Win Myint on January 17 and 18.

 

Alexander, as stated on his social media account, is "back to work" in Nay Pyi Taw before Xi makes his first ever trip to Myanmar in 19 years.

 

George Soros, an influential billionaire that have been criticised as having his hands in many countries' politics, had blasted Xi as an enemy to 'Open Society' at the World Economic Forum held in Davos, Switzerland, January 2019.

 

Similar to the "coincidence" of the Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi to Myanmar before State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi's trip to defend against the ICJ lawsuit, Alexander Soros is here in Myanmar before the Chinese chief gets here.

 

George Soros, now 89 years old, has also been criticised as manipulating Myanmar's politics with him supporting over 100 organizations through the Open Society Foundation (OSF), as stated on the foundation's website. The OSF has been spending billions of US dollars in over 100 countries across the world under differently labeled projects, be it human rights, education, women's rights, children's rights, democracy and peace. It has also spent 57.6 million dollars in funds across four countries, including Myanmar, in the Asia-Pacific during 2019.

 

George Soros has also been blamed for heavy handed swings in the financial markets of countries, with one instance being in 1997 where he was the one that started the financial crisis in Thailand which led to the ruin of many Thai businesses - in some cases leading to suicide. He had also been pointed out of his potential to be one of the parties that will brew trouble in Rakhine State in order to slow down China's Belt and Road Initiative.

 

"I worry that it would get too personal when I speak. This also has to do with business. I think he, back during 1993-1994, played with finances in Thailand which led to a great deal of trouble for business owners. A lot of construction businesses buckled, some committed suicide. So I think one of his objectives is that China's economy is growing rapidly. The GDP is going through the roof. He plays with finances. It is in his interest to keep trouble afoot in Rakhine so that the One Belt One Road will slow down so that his investments will be protected. All of us - government, citizens, ethnicities - must tread carefully when dealing with this. History will show who is right and wrong," said Zaw Aye Maung, Minister of Rakhine Ethnic Affairs, in his interview by Akonthi Media on November 7, 2018.

 

Ex-Union Minister and currently a parliamentarian Soe Thane had also said that George Soros have been pouring large amounts of funding for Bengali affairs. As stated on OSF's website, it had raised 10 million dollars in emergency funds in 2015 for Bengalis.

After the 10 million dollars for Bengalis/Rohingyas, the foundation had also funded Kofi Annan's foundation, a key member of the commission formed to investigate the attacks by ARSA in 2017, as stated on Kofi Annan Foundation and OSF websites.

 

DVB, Yangon Journalism School, Thabyay Education Foundation, Mal Daw Clinic, Equality Myanmar, Myanmar Observer Group Media Group, Institute for Strategy and Policy: Myanmar, Myanmar Institute for Peace and Security, Pen Myanmar, Myanmar China Pipeline Watch Committee, Myanmar Center to Empower Regional Parliaments, Network for Human Rights Documentation Burma (ND-Burma), Bangladesh Legal Aid and Services Trust, Irrawaddy Publishing Group are amongst many that have been stated as partners by the OSF. The OSF had also stated that Fortify Right group, a group fighting for Bengali rights under the title human rights, was also funded by it once.

 

Observations and speculations abound that out of over 100 organizations connected to the George Soros in Myanmar, many of them are connected to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) - the organization behind the lawsuit initiated by the Gambia at the ICJ. Due to data leaks following a hack in 2016, it was also found that the OSF had paid between 50 thousand to 300 thousand dollars per organization to around 50 groups, medias and political activist groups.

 

The book written by Soe Thane, 'Myanmar's Transformation and U Thein Sein: An insider's account by U Soe Thane', also claims that George Soros, as per his modus operandi to paint the image he wants through lavish funding across the world, had also tried to do the same with the Myanmar government.

 

The author, ex-Union Minister Soe Thane, of the book recounts on how George Soros and the then-president Thein Sein began contact all the way to the social projects that was carried out in cooperation.

 

And that George Soros had tried to extract information that he wants from the government, later going onto put in large amount of funds into the Rohingya (as originally stated in the book) affairs.

 

It says that Thein Sein and George Soros met in 2012 where the latter helped with education and health projects. In 2013, George Soros met with the president and Aung San Suu Kyi as well as other ministers. The book also stated that he only ever met with Aung San Suu Kyi and other ministers at Nay Pyi Taw's Myat Taw Win Hotel where he stayed. Again in 2014 and 2015, he met with the president again, later meeting with the author Soe Thane himself - asking the author to request of the president for appointing Thaung Tun as the minister to go around the world to invite investments in to the country. That request was rejected by the president later, according to the book.

 

The book also goes on to state that on January 13, 2017, George Soros again came to Nay Pyi Taw to meet with Aung San Suu Kyi and the next day, Thaung Tun was appointed as the National Security Adviser.

 

When Thaung Tun was to be given the position of Union Minister, Soe Thane had objected to it. "I've been working since the previous administration. I know very well how Thaung Tun, the previous government and George Soros are connected. I am the witness. But time was short, and I only had myself as evidence. The other thing is that when Thaung Tun submitted his detailed information, everything related to working with Soros have been deleted. The other thing was that I've sent an email to America. If the reply comes then that can be used as evidence but as it stands, it won't make it in time. He knows himself best. He has to show that he had worked with George Soros before if he is honest and I take that he is dishonest because he had withheld that information. George Soros is influential in the US and even if its just for the National Security Adviser position, one day it will come to harm China-Myanmar relations. I am on good terms with Thaung Tun and it will be fine if I didn't say anything. But I have to say so for the nation because I know about these things the most. For now, evidence is hard to come-by. It's not like I didn't want him to land that position. I've said my message for the MPs and the people," said Soe Thane in reply to the media regarding his objection.

 

OSF is legally allowed to open offices in Myanmar despite the need to cut off some of the OSF's tendrils in over 100 organizations in Myanmar as George Soros's widespread accusations that he, through the OSF, is manipulating in the politics of nations. While the exact purpose of Alexander Soros's visit to Myanmar is yet to be made clear, his social media page had shown that he had met with the Union Minister for Education Dr Myo Thein Gyi.
