MYANMAR
CRISIS RELIEF
HOW THE CONFLICT BEGAN
February 1, 2021 – The Tatmadaw military seized control over elected government officials leading to the collapse of the peace process.
April 2021 – About 6,500 citizens in the Karen State alone were displaced from their homes.
April 21, 2021 – The CDC issued a Level 4 Travel Advisory for Burma, making it difficult for
humanitarian aid workers to get in and out of the country to bring help.
Today – Civilians are still displaced from their homes, hiding in the jungles and in desperate need of relief. JPI has created a Crisis Response Management Team and partnered with other organizations to deliver food, supplies, training and resources, but we need your help too!
WHAT'S HAPPENING
NOW
Explosions, hundreds of them, popped off across Myanmar in the past weeks. Fragmentation and violence continues to grow. New armed splinter groups emerge to resist the Burmese military but elicit tenuous trust of any government.
What is happening in Myanmar is terrible but it is just a darker part of the shadow of totalitarian greed spilling past existing restraints globally. We’ve watched it gradually creeping across SE Asia and even our entire planet but corona virus has intensified the temptation of power.
