Editorial Taking to the streets
By Andrew Haffner • Feb 13, 2021
Our eyes have remained mostly pinned on events unfolding in the streets of Myanmar’s cities, as youth-led activists protest the coup. On this topic we have not one, not two, but three in-depth features. First up is Wanpen Pajai in Bangkok, herself part of Thailand’s own pro-democracy movement, as she sees how Myanmar is slotting in to the Milk Tea Alliance. We also have features from Kiana Duncan and Allegra Mendelson, the former looking at how we can hit the pockets of Myanmar’s military without hurting citizens, while the latter looking at where the Rohingya stand in all this. Enjoy!
