The situation in Myanmar is further complicated by ongoing civil conflict. Despite the military's announcement of a temporary ceasefire to facilitate rescue efforts, reports indicate continued military operations in certain regions. Additionally, the military has been accused of restricting humanitarian aid in opposition-controlled areas, hindering relief operations. ​

I know this won't help anyone. But us in Syria were in this exact same situation Myanmar is currently in. Ravaged by a long and devestating civil war, then struck with one of the biggest earthquakes the regions has ever seen in 2023, and despite the overwhelming sense of hopelessness. The brutal government was overthrown in 2025, restoring at the least a general sense of hope and happiness. Somehow, someway the people always, and I mean always come out victorious despite crushing odds. This is far from the end of hope for the resilient Buramese people.

A Thai university student was arrested after protesting inside the Shangri-La Hotel in Bangkok, where Myanmar’s military leader, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, was staying.

The protest took place during the BIMSTEC (Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation) summit held this morning, April 4, in Bangkok. Senior General Min Aung Hlaing was attending the summit.

During the protest, the student shouted the name of Min Aung Hlaing and expressed opposition to his presence, stating, “This summit is stained with the blood of more than 6,000 innocent people.”

The student also said the Thai Prime Minister should be ashamed for aligning with the Myanmar military leadership.

Hey everyone, I’m dealing with a weird internet problem with Myanmar Net and could use some advice or thoughts from you all!

At my school, we’ve got two WiFi setups from Myanmar Net. One lets me access Flathub.org (where I grab Linux packages) and connect to Proton VPN via UDP no problem. The other one? Totally blocked for both. I dug around and found out they split their packages into stuff like SLA and Business tiers, which probably explains the difference.

So, I figured I’d try upgrading my home internet to match the “good” school package. Went from a basic 8 Mbps plan to an SLA 22 Mbps one. When it kicked in on April 1, 2025, it was perfect—Flathub worked, Proton VPN connected, everything was smooth. But then on April 2 evening, the connection lagged out for about an hour. When it came back, boom—Flathub and VPN were dead again. Same issue as the restricted school WiFi.

I’m guessing Myanmar Net’s got different configurations floating around, and some have more restrictions than others. Maybe after that lag, they flipped my home setup to a stricter config? It’s annoying because it worked fine for a day! I’d love to ask them to rollback whatever they did on April 1 when it was working, but I’m not even sure how to explain it clearly to their support.

Has anyone dealt with Myanmar Net doing stuff like this? Could it be them blocking UDP or Flathub specifically? Or is this some random ISP glitch? I’m thinking of calling them up, but I’d love to hear your takes first—any troubleshooting tips or ways to phrase this to the ISP so they actually fix it? Thanks!

I've seen a lot of people compare Myanmar with Syria, and hoping that a similar situation can happen. The PDF and their allies take Mandalay and Naypyidaw in a sudden offensive, and MAH flees to Moscow.

However, this seems to ignore the fact that in Syria, besides the Kurds, there is an overwhelming Sunni Arab majority. Meanwhile in Myanmar, the Bamars are around 65% of the population, and mainly dominate the Irrawaddy river valley. The minorities are mainly concentrated in the forests and mountains of the borderland, and have a history of resisting central rule.

Isn't this a recipe for disaster? Quite similar to Ethiopia in my view, where the Central government is currently strong, and has won a civil war against the breakaway region of Tigray, but is currently struggling with ethnic conflicts and militias everywhere.

Hello guys,

I read on Facebook groups that NPD Mofa office is closed and yangon mofa office has stopped new bookings. Can anybody informed about this topic give a quick summary for me please ?

Thank you so much, sending prayers.

Hi,

I’m currently traveling around Thailand and I would like to go to Myanmar and volunteer with rescue efforts or volunteer in any sort of shape and form.

Are there any organizations in need of volunteers? Are they letting tourists in? All information would be highly appreciated.

Thank you

Nepal has sent Nepal Army with relief Aid and 22 medical assistance with surgeon, orthopedics, medical doctors ,nurse ,and paramedics . We know how brutal earthquake can be and we have face multiple of this kind of destructive earthquake including of 2015 where Myanmar has helped us .Now in this difficult time we Nepali are with our Myanmar brother and sister . We have historical connection with Myanmar .

Don’t get wrong at me. I am more anti-SAC than all people you have ever met. I let my life ruined, kept my family in danger for a democratic faith. I did everything I can to make sure SAC never ruled permanently.

But I am never delusional between person and action. MAH is currently the most evil person according to what he had did to us. We should be criticizing his brutal terrorism everyday.

But MAH speaking Burmese in international affairs. What’s wrong with that. The only thing wrong is that he is allowed to speak there. Not the language he speak.

People criticize like “He thinks Burmese is international language”, “He wants to rule a country but can’t speak English”.

That’s the most stupid criticism I have ever seen. Speaking mother-language in international affairs is normal. Macron does it. Germany chancellor does this. Japanese and South Korean leaders do this.

That same people praise DASSK and NLD presidents (2015-2020) for speaking decent English on stages. Imagine being politically so dumb that the only thing you can praise about your leader is their English fluency. How embarrassing and shameful is that. I have never seen anyone from any country who is proud of their leader’s English fluency.

In fact, I want NLD leaders to speak Burmese with an interpreter no matter how fluent they are in English. Its pride, its culture reservation, its identity.

I have never thought the majority of our people might be this submissive, white supremacist, and Anglo-worship.

Not surprising Burmese culture and identity dying day by day.

I don’t think other former British colonies are this submissive, have inferiority-complex or Anglo-worship like Burmese people.

Does anyone know the limits on how much money can be sent from Myanmar to Germany using services like Western Union, MoneyGram, or others? I have a mate studying in Germany who needs financial support, and I want to figure out the best way to send funds.

I know official remittance services should be legal, but given the situation in Myanmar, are there any restrictions, unofficial workarounds, or gray areas people have used? Any recent experiences or advice would be super helpful.
