US Campaign for Burma

10/08/2026

Direct engagement with Burma’s military junta risks legitimizing the very regime responsible for decades of atrocities against its own people—including the 2017 genocide against the Rohingya, which the United States formally recognized in 2022. This is not a regime that has changed course. Just last week, the Burmese military bombed a marketplace in Kyauktaw and killed at least 50 people.

Protecting Americans from online scams is essential. But treating the junta as a partner against scam networks whose proceeds reportedly flow in part to the military risks rewarding the very interests that sustain them. U.S. engagement must not become a pathway to legitimacy or financial concessions while atrocities continue. Accountability, civilian protection, and verifiable action against scam operations—not promises from the generals—must drive U.S. policy.

The Trump administration has begun direct talks with Myanmar’s military-installed government in a sharp reversal of Washington's efforts to isolate the country’s generals after the 2021 coup.

We urge the international community to decline MAL as head of the state, engage with legitimate representatives of the people of Burma, support justice and accountability effort, impose sanctions on the junta regime, and ban export of aviation fuel.

This year, on the International Day of Democracy, the man who destroyed Burma’s democracy is sitting in the presidential palace in Naypyidaw and is finding international patrons for his illegitimate governance.

The 2021 attempted coup was one of the biggest setbacks in the fight for democracy for Burma.

This articles highlights this best, stating that although the revolution cannot win at any moment right now, it WILL NOT be defeated either.

"The regime's partial revival has not brought a fundamental change in the balance of power. It has brought a change in perceptions and political positioning. That distinction is important."

More importantly, it has been clear that the objectives for the regime is to win full control over territories, population and economic assets. There is no such thing as a peace talk while the regime's motives is to win a war at all cost.

This is why we condemn Malaysia's invitation to MAL to discuss 'repatriation' of Burma's nationals. Giving recognition risks legitimacy, which is what MAL wants.

The regime will not only try to win militarily, but also politically because it cannot defeat ethnic armed groups anytime soon.

It is to say the least, very disappointing to see PM Anwar Ibrahim's framing this meeting as a 'repatriation discussion' with MAL who has failed to upheld ASEAN's 5 Point Consensus.

We condemn Malaysia's Prime Minister's Anwar Ibrahim's decision to invite Min Aung Hlaing for a bilateral talk on October 7th.

The junta regime leader and self-proclaim president aims to seek legitimacy, and any engagement risks providing legitimacy to a regime that has continuously been committing human rights abuses.

We call on the people of Malaysia to sympathize with Burma nationals as they protest this meeting between Anwar Ibrahim and Min Aung Hlaing.

The people of Burma deserve our continued support and advocacy. We must continue to use our voices to stand up for them. Accountability must be pursued wherever injustice occurs.

A recent article from Progressive Voice examines the experiences of women in Myanmar amid ongoing conflict, violence, displacement, and political exclusion.

Despite the adversities that women are experiencing, women-led organizations have worked relentlessly to ensure that stories of victims who have experienced sexual violence are heard.

The article highlights the role women’s organizations have played in documenting abuses, supporting survivors, advocating for justice, and pushing for greater participation in peacebuilding and political decision-making.

Progressive Voice also reports concerns about gender-based violence, the treatment of women political prisoners, and the exclusion of women from decision-making within both political and resistance institutions.

On October 4, about 1,476 Burma nationals have been returned to Burma from Malaysia where they have been placed in custody in Yangon. While some have reportedly been released, others remained in custody, particularly Rakhine men.

Families have been unable to contact some of those who have been detained, and are worried that their loved ones could be conscripted into military service.

The airstrikes in the Rakhine state killed a at least 50 people, including children and pregnant women according to the Arakan Army. The UN Human Rights Office described it as one of the deadliest airstrike since the attempted coup in 2021. (Radio Free Asia, 2026)

A Burma's security analyst told RFA that the airstrike is just one of the several tactics by the junta military to pressure the AA into peace talks.

Too often, it is the innocent civilians who ends up suffering during these conflicts. We condemn violence against civilians, regardless of whether it's carried out by the junta or the AA.
