In 2021, Myanmar experienced an event that would shake up and torment the region for its foreseeable future. This saw a military overthrow of the once peaceful democratic country that was set up after the military previously allowed for the peaceful transition to a democratic nation. This military junta aimed to take back control of the country’s government through violent means because of the concerns of outside influence and hatred for groups of people living in the country. Since the coup the muslim Rohingya people of Myanmar have seen an increased level of persecution and violence from the military junta. This kind of violence from the military junta has led to the rise of militant groups in the country and increased violence as well. Since the initial breakout of violence we’ve seen the military junta lose ground in Myanmar and militant groups gain ground rapidly.
France has publicly denounced the military coup. France has provided humanitarian aid to those impacted by this conflict. France has also pushed for the creation of refugee centers outside of Myanmar to help support those who’ve been displaced by the conflict. France has also helped call parties to the negotiating table to achieve peace in the country. Examples of this have been France pushing for peace and steps towards democracy in the country. France has supported humanitarian and peacekeeping missions into Myanmar. While the number of humanitarian aid workers sent to Myanmar is unknown at this time, it is public that France has had close cooperation with local non-governmental organizations to help disburse aid within the country and administer that aid. France believes that democracy is an important step to restoring peace in Myanmar and as such has cooperated with both sides of the conflict to mediate and discuss plans for democracy after peace.
France continues to denounce the military junta and support the creation of a free and democratic Myanmar. Along with this France will continue to support and help lead the charge on many humanitarian missions into Myanmar with cooperation with local non-governmental organizations to administer this aid. France believes in setting up a plan for democracy after the conflict ends and to help Myanmar take steps towards a stable and democratic nation. France heavily encourages the nations of the world to support France in this endeavor but to also join France to help take one step closer to achieving world peace and rights for all.
