Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Election Violence Hits Yangon & Shwe Kokko Raided
Q: What do you think about the prospects of the Kachin Independence Army also capitulating to military rule and signing a ceasefire?
It's unlikely the KIA will agree to a ceasefire with the regime in the near future due to its control over valuable resources and its involvement in the resistance.
The Future of Mogok & Murmurings on Myitsone
Q: How have these villages on the East Bank and the West Bank of the Iowari at the Mieczoan Confluence been affected by this?
The villagers have been relocated with many struggling to adapt to their new environments, facing uncertainties and ongoing fears about the dam project resuming.
The Future of Mogok & Murmurings on Myitsone
Q: How was the dam originally conceived of?
The dam was part of a bigger electrification plan conceived by the Burmese junta, with involvement from both a Japanese company and a large Chinese state-owned company, China Power Investment.
Thadingyut Massacre
Q: What are the reasons why these elections are not credible or legitimate?
The elections will occur in a context of violence and repression, under dubious frameworks, with no independent oversight.
Thadingyut Massacre
Q: For any listeners who are unfamiliar, could you maybe quickly introduce the Asian Network for Free Elections and its work?
Anfrel stands for Asian Network for Free Elections. We are a regional network covering 28 citizen election observation organizations across 18 Asian countries.
