“The lives of children who are frightened even by the sound of thunder while attending class…” This is the time when children of school age should be happily attending school in their white and green uniforms. However, in Myanmar, around 7 million children (53%) are losing their right to education due to military offensives and airstrikes. Behind this disruption in education, children are forced into harsh labor for their livelihoods, and from there, they are continuously facing heartbreaking consequences such as becoming victims of human trafficking, becoming child soldiers, and getting married before reaching the legal age. “Adults are fighting wars, and the doors of schools are closed for children.” How will we recover from this disaster? Let's think calmly and deeply. You can listen to and watch the full Mizzima editorial talk at the following link.

Last week, one topic filled Myanmar social media: a new film about the Konbaung Dynasty, the country’s last royal family. Shooting has not started yet, but the film’s huge budget and famous cast already have people talking — and arguing. Two companies, Bellarie Production and Shwe Mann Empire Film Production, will make the film together, with director Win Lwin Htet. They plan to shoot it in five parts and spend about 8 to 10 billion kyat, hoping to release it in 2027. A press launch was held recently, and the news spread fast on Facebook. Many people are excited. They welcome the big stars said to be joining, such as Nine Nine, Myint Myat and Tai Ron. “With actors like them, this film will turn out even better,” one Facebook user writes. Another feels national pride: “Neighbouring countries are also filming our history — I want to watch our own country make it like this.” But many others are suspicious. After the 2021 coup, audiences began to boycott films made by companies linked to the military. The best known is 7th Sense Creation, co-owned by junta chief Min Aung Hlaing’s daughter, Khin Thiri Thet Mon, who is under US sanctions. “In such hard economic times, who is spending billions like this? ” one commenter asks. Another adds: “Are these just 7th Sense films coming back under new names?

Yangon, June 8 The terrorist Myanmar military junta is using all kinds of deception to regain the trust of the international community, so the international community must pay special attention, pointed out Daw Phyo Sandar Soe, Deputy General Secretary of the Federation of Trade Unions-Myanmar (CTUM). This was presented by her at the 114th International Labour Conference (ILC) held at the headquarters of the International Labour Organization (ILO) in Geneva, Switzerland, on June 6. Daw Phyo Sandar Soe said that the Myanmar military junta continues to maintain the infrastructure that openly violates workers' rights, and is using deceptive actions and fraud to evade international criticism. She stated that the release of trade union members and other political prisoners is merely the release of individuals who should not have been arrested in the first place, and that they are trying to make the world see the release of children after forcibly conscripting them as their progress. Daw Phyo Sandar Soe, Deputy General Secretary of the Federation of Trade Unions-Myanmar, said, "Should the international community praise the release of those who should never have been arrested in the first place? We are demanding that the world view the release of trade unionists who are illegally arrested, detained, prosecuted, and imprisoned as proof of compliance." Furthermore, she said that all those released have been forced to sign pledges not to engage in activities against the military junta, and many have been re-arrested or threatened, so they are not yet able to freely exercise their rights. The military junta is lying to the world that those arrested were not arrested for trade union activities but for violating national security and anti-terrorism laws. However, in reality, there are hundreds of thousands of civilian employees who have defied the military regime and participated in the Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM), and their only crime is not bowing down to the military dictatorship. As a result of these actions, many people have lost their livelihoods, are forced to live in hiding or are exiled, separated from their families, and continue to survive under threats. Daw Phyo Sandar Soe pointed out, "Can workers be organized without fear?
