Opponents of Myanmar’s military regime say they won’t allow a planned visit by the Cambodian leader to go ahead on Friday

 

A coalition of anti-regime forces says it will do everything in its power to prevent a visit to Myanmar by Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen scheduled for this Friday. In a statement released on Tuesday, the General Strike Coordination Body (GSCB) denounced the visit as a step towards legitimizing Myanmar’s “terrorist” regime and vowed not to allow it to go forward.

 

The group, which comprises more than 260 organizations formed to oppose last year’s military takeover, said that the two-day visit ignores the will of Myanmar’s people, as well as conditions set by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) for the normalization of relations with the regime.

 

During an emergency meeting held last April to address the crisis in Myanmar, attended by coup leader Min Aung Hlaing, the regional grouping reached a five-point “consensus” calling for the cessation of violence and dialogue among all parties as preconditions for engagement with the newly installed junta.
