Myanmar's military parade to mark the 72nd Armed Forces Day in the capital Naypyitaw, Myanmar, March 27, 2017.WASHINGTON — The United States and its allies imposed further sanctions on Myanmar on Tuesday , marking the two-year anniversary of a military coup with curbs on energy officials and junta members, among others.
Myanmar has been in chaos since the coup, with a resistance movement fighting the military on multiple fronts after a bloody crackdown on opponents that saw Western sanctions re-imposed.Tuesday's US sanctions target the managing director and deputy managing director of MOGE, which is the junta's single largest revenue generating state-owned enterprise, according to Treasury.
"Many key political stakeholders have announced their refusal to participate in these elections, which will be neither inclusive nor representative, and which almost certainly will fuel greater bloodshed," he said.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.
Washington also targeted former and current Myanmar military officials, the Treasury said, accusing the Air Force of continued air strikes using Russian-made aircraft against pro-democracy forces that have killed civilians.
