Myanmar Situation Update

27 September - 3 October 2021

Summary

The court trying ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi, her economic adviser Prof. Sean Turnell, and three Union

ministers who have been charged under the Official Secrets Act have been moved to another venue within

the Nay Pyi Taw Council compound with a limited number of lawyers allowed to attend. Phyo Min Thein,

the former NLD Yangon Region Chief Minister for the 2015-2020 term, appeared in court to testify as a

witness for the ruling junta against Aung San Suu Kyi for the charges against her under the anti-corruption

law.

Coup leader Min Aung Hlaing said that the junta is continuing on the path of democracy which the people

desire. The 2008 Constitution cannot be abolished as it was adopted in a public referendum but they

accept that sections that are no longer relevant need to be amended.

The National Unity Government (NUG) said that it was ready to partner with China to advance the bilateral

relationship toward the achievement of a community of shared values in a statement of honor to the

People’s Republic of China for their National Day.

An inspection team including officials of the Union Election Commission, Ministry of Home Affairs,

Ministry of Planning and Finance, and the Union Auditor-General Office scrutinized political parties from

14 to 30 September according to the election laws.

ASEAN special envoy Erywan Yusof is unlikely to meet with ousted pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu

Kyi as it would be difficult to allow meetings with those who are facing trial, a junta spokesman said.

Myanmar’s currency depreciated to a record low this week to the US dollar, rising to a record high of

around 2,500 - 2,700 kyats per dollar in comparison to exchange rate of 1,300-1,400 kyats per USD before

the coup. The value of gold on the domestic market reached a record high of more than 2.25 million kyats

per tical compared to 1.32 million kyats per tical before military take over1.

Military spokesman Maj. Gen. Zaw Min Tun said in a press conference that Myanmar's ongoing economic

problems were caused by "outside factors" and two waves of COVID-19 infections, but the military takes

full responsibility for economic woes2.

in Sagaing and Magway regions was deteriorating and Myanmar has seen over 60,000 internally displaced

people in Sagaing Region, and over 10,000 each in Magway Region and Chin State from early September

due to clashes & insecurity since February and around 34,000 people have fled across Shan State since

the beginning of 2021; close to 13,380 remain displaced3.

Burma News International (BNI) has issued a statement on the oppression against media personnel and

seriously denouncing the actions of the military junta which massively impact the media freedom and

journalists’ safety in Myanmar. Myanmar’s junta has defended its detention of an American journalist

Danny Fenster helding for four months, without offering any details of the crimes it alleges with the

accusation that he did more than just what a journalist does.

Protests continued in different parts of Myanmar despite the crackdown by the junta over the week. The

clashes between the junta forces and the civil resistance fighters or Ethnic Armed Organizations also

emerged in all states and regions except Rakhine Region. The junta announced a unilateral, five-month

cease-fire beginning Oct. 1 and lasting until the end of February 2022 amid the clashes with PDF and ethnic

armed organizations.

According to the information compiled by ANFREL, at least 60 bomb blasts happened across Myanmar in

the past week. It was reported that at least 32 people were injured and 12 died4. 22 Mytel telecom masts

were destroyed across the country5.
