Today, knock rust in geography.
“Burma” is not “Myanmar”
Burma, or Bama, is the largest ethnic group.
Myanmar is the name of the country. That later changed from Burma
When Burma gained independence from Britain on January 4, 1971, it was still named after England as The Union of Burma.
Until 1989, the Burma Army announced the name of the country to be changed to The Union of Myanmar for the reason that it was a correct vote.
The military government argues that the word “Myanmar” encompasses all the tribes in the territory.
While the anti-military government said Doing this Is an attempt to swallow all races into Burma
As well as the success of the fight to restore independence Caused by cooperation of various tribes Not only Burmese
Myanmar has a population of approximately 54 million people of various races.
The main races are Burmese, Tai Yai, Mon, Rakhine, Karen, Kachin and Chin.
The closest to Thailand is Tai Yai, living in Shan State.
Many Burmese people in Tachilek, Kengtung, hunt Taunggyi Siew Taunggyi, thus clearly listening and speaking Thai.
Government and internal problems of Myanmar Completely different from Thai
Therefore, we cannot absolutely take the Thai context to summarize the events in Myanmar.
In particular, this coup in Myanmar Overall feeling of Myanmar people It is completely different from what Thai people felt about the coup on May 22, 2014.
Thai people are divided into two extremes, and do not take a coup. But the reasons can be various
Not taking a coup because of being manipulated
Not because it is contrary to democratic principles
Because the government can’t stand cheating
Took it because it was a conservative party
Etc.
But in Myanmar is different Because most of the parents are Burmese
How fortunate is that Thailand has no ethnic issues?
But we are unlucky People are polarized by politicians.
2015, the Government of Myanmar President Thein Sein signed a ceasefire against eight ethnic minority forces.
It consists of the Karen National Union (KNU), Peace Council, Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA), Pao National Liberation Organization (PNLO), Myanmar Student Democracy Coalition (ABSDF), Shin National Coalition Force (CNF), Arakan Liberation Party ( ALP), the DKBA Force and the Shan Salvation Council / Southern Shan Army (RCSS / SSA-S).
To create joy across the country
Over the same month of the year, Aung San Suu Kyi led the National League for Democracy (NLD) to win the election. And publicly announced that he would be “above the president”
But then like the world turned upside down
2018, Rohingya in Myanmar Announced to the world that the genocide was being genocide. By Myanmar authorities
The world questions Aung San Suu Kyi, but she doesn’t move to help the Rohingya.
And expressed a disdain for Rohingya status as a part of Myanmar’s population
Since that day, other races have started to distrust Aung San Suu Kyi, despite the election last November. NLD Party Will win the majority of the council once again
While the Myanmar military believes there is election fraud And led to a coup d’etat
In the era of the Aung San Suu Kyi government, Myanmar seems calm. But in fact, unless there is a problem Expelling and killing the Rohingya Many areas still have battles.
Especially in Kachin and Shan states in the north
In Kachin State, there are more than 100,000 people and they have to be homeless.
While in Shan State, the national movement continued to sporadically.
Therefore the image that came out There are ethnic minorities in Myanmar that do not pay attention to Aung San Suu Kyi being coup d’état.
On February 3, a United Nations Security Council (UNSC) meeting consisting of other permanent members such as Britain, France, Russia and the United States was unable to release a statement on the coup in Myanmar. In the same direction
Because China and Russia oppose
That is the overview of Myanmar after the coup. Reflecting the world divided into two poles
The bottom line is all the interests of the West, America – Europe. And China-Russia All want to play a role in Myanmar
So what can Thailand do?
3. Kip said he had to condemn the Myanmar military dictatorship only.
While all ASEAN nations adhere to the ASEAN Charter Does not interfere with internal affairs
If playing the role of the hero according to the 3 kip with condemnation of the Myanmar army In addition to being unable to change anything in Myanmar The feedback may be more than 3 kip thought.
Especially the impact on millions of Thai people along the border
Today I would like to end with an interview with “Chaitawat Tulthon”, the party secretary-general. Issues relating to University of Ubon Ratchathani and the monarchy
“Mr. Nattaporn’s allegations against the Keawai Party are all false. The Milestone Party is not opposed to the democratic regime of the King as the Head of State. But we are an upholding democracy with a constitutional monarchy. Against the inheritance of the coup regime
Mr Nathaporn’s party dissolution petition was part of a movement to crush the Future Forward Party. Continued to the Great Party By using the monarchy and independent organizational mechanisms in the regime as a tool of political destruction.
Because of the new and advanced future, it is a political party that is an obstacle to the establishment of a complete authoritarian regime in the present. The faraway party will fight to the end. To protect the voices and the will that we receive from the people To drive Thai society to have a future Escape from the political black hole of the elite, the army and the monopolist. “
Yes …. endeavor to refuse not to overthrow
But finally admitted to blocking the establishment of a perfect authoritarian regime That doesn’t exist
No The establishment of an absolute monarchy
There will only be an excuse that leads to your fall.
