Most of this protected forest for Indigenous communities in Cambodia has vanished. A big reason why is farm expansion fueled by illegal microfinance lending backed by western development agencies. @EungSea11 & I explored the issue of debt & deforestation for @DialogueEarth_ 🧵
It’s not clear yet that MFA has the authority to direct this committee. Army Region 3 and National Security Council drive policy on Myanmar but there are several different agendas among Thai agencies and businesses with an interest. Hard to get bold clear, policy on the crisis.

Myanmar junta has retaken its base in Myawaddy. Karen forces have withdrawn. A junta reinforcement column is still being resisted by KNLA on road from Kawkareik. Not clear how SAC troops in Myawaddy rearmed to retake the base. KNLA believe they were betrayed by BGF forces in town

Abdu Rahman is among more than 1,000 Rohingya refugees who landed in Aceh, Indonesia, in November 2023. "The journey was truly terrifying, a harrowing 17-day journey at sea .... We had to wait for rain to be able [to] drink" abc.net.au/news/2023-12-0…

I recommend reading this brave piece by @_christopherwin, in which he explores the sensitive topic of ethnic identity in Rakhine State thoughtfully, respectfully & with nuance. Refreshing to see this come out during a particularly intense time (1/4) thediplomat.com/2024/04/moving…
The annual volume of Burma's overall illicit border trade in 1988 was an estimated US$3 billion, equivalent to 40% of the country’s gross national product at the time. Controlling the main smuggling gates to Thailand, the KNU was one of the main beneficiaries of this trade. 2/6
A superb piece by the BBC's @pakhead. He witnessed the violence here in Indonesia in 1998 when Suharto's regime was crumbling as well as the power struggles that followed. He brings it all together and ties it with where the country is today. bbc.com/news/world-asi…

One reason, perhaps the major one, why it is hard to draw a clean line between democracies and authoritarian states in Southeast Asia.
To no-one’s surprise patronage and family ties trump everything else still in Indonesian politics, as in most of SE Asia. Political parties are little more than playthings of their most powerful players. Modern, meritocratic politics are still a long way off.
