Myanmar Junta Admits Sanctions Strain, Eyes Economic Recovery
mizzima Myanmar’s military leader, Min Aung Hlaing, has acknowledged that international sanctions are significantly affecting the regime, marking a rare admission of economic strain since the 2021 coup. Speaking at the “Forum on Myanmar Beyond 2025” in Naypyidaw on 21 March, Min Aung Hlaing admitted that sanctions imposed by Western nations over human rights abuses were creating major difficulties. However, he insisted that the junta was finding ways to manage the crisis. “If sanctions are imposed, there will certainly be an impact,” he said. “It is true that there are difficulties, but we can manage them.” The United States and the European Union have sanctioned key junta officials, including Min Aung Hlaing himself, along with military-linked businesses. Now, further restrictions may follow, as the International Labour Organization (ILO) moves to block the regime’s revenue sources under Article 33. Despite the challenges, the junta leader remains focused on economic recovery, claiming Myanmar’s GDP stands between $60-70 billion, with a target of $81 billion in the next fiscal year. He proposed increasing exports to neighbouring countries, particularly in sectors such as footwear manufacturing, arguing that demand across Asia presents an opportunity. However, with sanctions tightening and international pressure mounting, Myanmar’s economic future remains uncertain. -2025-03-24 -

Chalerm Ubumrung May Join Censure of PM Paetongtarn
Indeed. Just as in 2007-08 prior to the judicial coup, all the 'old friends' are turning on Thaksin. Then it was Newin and the Buriram mafia, now it is Chalerm and some others. You can never, ever trust any of these people. They are too under-developed emotionally and with too big egos. Shows the immaturity of Thai politics at that level though, really all a bunch of gangsters in it for themselves. -

Collision Claims Lives of Two Siblings in Buriram
The poor kids would still be dead had they not been on the scooter. ie just walking along the road. That's the same as Thais saying that any accident involving a foreigner is the foreigners fault. The accident would not have happened if the foreigner was not here. Lots of victim blaming here. The person at fault is the driver of the car. End of.
