US Lifts Myanmar Sanctions After Junta Chief Praises Trump
In a move raising eyebrows across the human rights community, the United States has quietly removed sanctions on several close allies of Myanmar's military regime—just weeks after the junta leader publicly praised former President Donald Trump and appealed for economic relief. The unexpected decision, announced by the U.S. Treasury Department on Thursday, lifts restrictions on four individuals and three companies previously targeted for their ties to Myanmar’s military. The sanctioned entities had been blacklisted under the Biden administration for supporting a regime accused of war crimes, a bloody coup, and violent crackdowns on democracy. Among those delisted are KT Services & Logistics, MCM Group, and Suntac Technologies, along with their respective owners, as well as a figure identified as Tin Latt Min—all known for close connections to the junta leadership. No official explanation was provided for the reversal, and the White House has yet to comment. Human Rights Watch condemned the move as “extremely worrying,” suggesting it signals a shift in Washington’s stance toward the military regime. John Sifton, the group’s Asia advocacy director, called the action “shocking” and warned it could undermine years of international pressure. The timing has not gone unnoticed. Just two weeks earlier, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing sent a letter to Trump requesting a reduction in looming U.S. tariffs and asking for sanctions to be lifted. In the message, made public by Myanmar’s state media, the junta chief praised Trump’s leadership and offered to send negotiators to Washington. The general also pointed to Myanmar’s importance in the global rare earth supply chain—a sector increasingly strategic amid U.S.–China rivalry. While Myanmar holds vast reserves, many of its mines lie in rebel-held territory and feed into China’s processing system. The policy shift could have far-reaching consequences. Activists fear it will embolden the junta and discourage those fighting for a return to democracy. As Myanmar remains gripped by conflict and authoritarian rule, critics argue the U.S. risks sacrificing human rights for geopolitical gain. -2025-07-25 -

Border Cambodian BM-21 Rocket Strike Hits Petrol Station, Injures Dozens Including Students
UPDATE Unexploded Ordnance Cleared and Bodies Recovered Following Cambodian Rocket Strike Picture courtesy of Amarin. Authorities have now successfully recovered the bodies of victims killed in a Cambodian rocket strike at a petrol station convenience store in Kantharalak district, Sisaket province, after unexploded ordnance at the scene was safely neutralised. The attack, which took place on 24 July, saw multiple BM-21 rockets launched by Cambodian forces into Thai territory amid intensifying border hostilities. One rocket struck a PTT petrol station in Ban Phue, causing devastating damage and the deaths of at least eight people, with 13 others wounded. Efforts to retrieve the victims’ bodies were initially hampered due to the presence of live munitions lodged inside the wreckage of the store. Fears of further explosions led to the area being cordoned off until explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) teams could secure the site. At approximately 06:30 on the morning of 25 July, bomb disposal units from Thailand’s Second Army Region, working alongside Border Patrol Police Region 2, entered the area with the primary goal of removing any remaining unexploded devices and ensuring the site was safe for rescue teams. Later, the army’s official communications confirmed that all explosive materials had been cleared. Rescue foundation personnel were then able to carry out the sombre task of retrieving the victims’ remains from the destroyed building. Adapted by Asean Now from Amarin 2025-07-25
