SUMMARY:Military coup in Myanmar: developments within the opposition.
LOCATION:Room 3.02
DESCRIPTION:On 1 February 2021, the Myanmar military staged a coup and over
 turned the civilian government under the leadership of Aung San Suu Kyi bef
 ore the start of a new term. Ten years of democratic transition ended overn
 ight. Since then, the military has faced strong and broad-based resistance 
 which spans across ethnic, religious, class-based and generational divides 
 in the country. To begin with, this took the form of large-scale and innova
 tive street protests, online campaigns, and a broad-based civil disobedienc
 e movement (CDM) comprising public and private sector workers who refuse to
  work under a military regime. Among CDM members are also police officers a
 nd soldiers. Since April, the opposition to the military has become more po
 litically organized, with the formation of the National Unity Government (N
 UG) operating in exile and pledging for a new federal democracy. Simultaneo
 usly, armed resistance and people’s defense forces (PDFs) have emerged, res
 ulting in new sites of violence and country-wide conflict. This panel will 
 include presentations that explore the evolvement of the opposition to the 
 military, its diversity, challenges, and tactics.
