Myanmar’s civilian NUG is urging Washington to reconsider prioritizing US interests over peace efforts. The group’s remarks, reported by The Irrawaddy, came as the US strategy drew criticism. According to the outlet, the NUG’s objection centers on what could happen if the plan moves forward. The civilian opposition body suggested that democracy and federalism could lose ground. The Irrawaddy reported that the NUG said such a path might reward economic priorities and stronger connections with the country’s military leadership. This, the outlet added, could undermine peace efforts.
