One year ago, the military seized power in Myanmar by force. The country has since descended into civil war fraught with human rights violations, but the international community has resisted imposing measures against the military regime. Members of Myanmar's exile government spoke in Paris on January 31 about the role France and other countries can play against the junta.
In the weeks after the coup in Myanmar, on February 1, 2021, the international community unanimously condemned the military seizure of power. French president Emmanuel Macron even sent a Tweet in Burmese, declaring his support for the people of Myanmar and calling for an “immediate end to suppression”.
