WASHINGTON: The United States and its allies will impose further sanctions on Myanmar on Tuesday , marking the two-year anniversary of the coup with curbs on energy officials and members of the junta, among others.
The country has been in chaos since, with a resistance movement fighting the military on multiple fronts after a bloody crackdown on opponents that saw Western sanctions re-imposed. Also among those that will be designated by Washington was the Union Minister of Energy, Myo Myint Oo, who Treasury said represents Myanmar's government in international and domestic energy sector engagements and manages the state-owned entities involved in the production and export of oil and gas.
The rules favour the Union Solidarity and Development Party, a military proxy stacked with former generals, which was trounced by Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy party in 2015 and 2020 elections. "Our sanctions are meticulously targeted to deliver maximum impact, reducing the military’s access to finance, fuel, arms and equipment," British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said in a statement.
