② Situation in Myanmar: Hay Mann Soe & Min Thein Kyaw

Myanmar is becoming a completely failed state. With the economy decreasing so rapidly, the GDP cannot even be accurately measured. We, the people of Myanmar, are losing our human rights. We are losing our freedom and our safety because of the military junta. However, we, Myanmar citizens, have not given up. Along with the National Unity Government, with armed ethnic groups, and with other ethnic organizations, we are still fighting to get our freedom back, and we will build our nation back again. With this session we want to raise awareness about the true situation in our country.

ミャンマーは完全に破綻した国家になりつつある。経済が急速に衰退し、GDPすら正確に測れない状態です。私たちミャンマーの人たちは、人権を失いつつあります。軍事政権のせいで、自由も安全も失いつつあります。しかし、私たちミャンマー国民は、あきらめてはいません。国民統合政府とともに、武装民族グループとともに、他の民族組織とともに、私たちは自由を取り戻すために今も戦っています。今回のセッションでミャンマーの実情についての理解を深めたいと思います。
