This significant event, scheduled for February 24, 2024, in the Washington D.C. area, holds great importance for the Chin people and their rich cultural heritage.
Chin National Day is an annual celebration observed on February 20, which marks the historic day when the Chin people abolished the slavery system or chieftainship. It signifies their transition from a traditional feudal system to a modern democratic governing structure. This day holds immense historical and cultural significance for the Chin community worldwide.
The Chin National Day is celebrated in Burma and various countries where the 53 ethnic groups of Chin people have settled. It exemplifies the unity, resilience, and determination of the Chin people in preserving their identity, culture, and traditions. It serves as a platform to promote understanding, a sense of identity, and unity in diversity among the Chin community.
We understand that the Chin people have faced numerous challenges throughout history, including the colonization period and the subsequent persecution under military regimes. The Nationalities Alliance of Burma is deeply concerned about the injustices and human rights abuses faced by ethnic minorities in Burma, including the Chin people. We are in solidarity with you in your ongoing struggle for peace, justice, and equality.
This year's celebration in Washington, D.C., is a testament to your unwavering spirit amidst adversity. It showcases your commitment to raising awareness about the Chin people's aspirations, challenges, and contributions. We commend your efforts to bring together the Chin diaspora and allies on this joyous occasion, reinforcing the bonds of unity and fostering a sense of hope for a brighter future.

Together, we can work towards a future where everyone, regardless of ethnicity, religious beliefs, or cultural background, can live in a society that upholds their rights and dignity.
In conclusion, we once again congratulate the organizers and participants of the 76th Anniversary of Chin National Day in Washington, D.C.

Statement on Myanmar’s Ongoing Revolution Three years after the Military Coup

Sanctions Against MOGE and Partners.

On October 31, 2023, the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) took several actions in response to the Burma (Myanmar) situation. The background provided in the statement includes:
1. Prohibition of Financial Services to MOGE: OFAC has published a directive, the "MOGE Financial Services Directive," that prohibits U.S. persons from providing financial services to or for the benefit of Myanma Oil and Gas Enterprise (MOGE). This action aims to disrupt MOGE's ability to acquire weapons used to suppress the Burmese people.
2. Sanctions Against MOGE: MOGE is a state-owned Burmese enterprise in the oil and gas sector, generating substantial revenue for the military regime. OFAC's sanctions target MOGE and aim to restrict its access to U.S. dollars, which the regime uses to purchase weaponry. These measures are part of an international effort in coordination with the United Kingdom and Canada to combat the regime's actions.
3. Designations of Entities and Individuals: OFAC has designated three entities and five individuals connected to Burma's military regime. These entities have facilitated the importation of arms and materials, including from sanctioned entities in Russia and other countries, which have enabled the regime's ongoing brutality against the Burmese people. The designated entities include Sky Royal Hero Company Limited, Suntac Technologies Company Limited, and Suntac International Trading Company Limited. The five individuals are Charlie Than, Kan Zaw, Swe Swe Aung, Zaw Min, and Maung Maung Aye.

The military coup in Burma in 2021 led to sanctions due to the regime's atrocities against civilians, including airstrikes, suppression of pro-democracy movements, and displacement of millions. These measures are part of a broader international strategy to hold the military regime accountable and deny it access to arms and supplies necessary for its violent actions. OFAC's sanctions include blocking the property and interests of the designated entities and individuals within the United States or under the control of U.S. persons and prohibiting U.S. persons from providing financial services to MOGE, with these prohibitions effective from December 15, 2023. The sanctions aim to disrupt the military regime's supply chain and reduce its access to imported arms and materials.
