On 1 February 2021, the military deliberately sabotaged the prospects for democracy when they attempted a coup. Senior politicians and newly elected Members of Parliament were quickly detained and arbitrarily arrested. Those who escaped the junta’s grasp fled, and many remain in exile as their names circulate on military-sponsored wanted lists. Widespread opposition to the […]
by the Military Council Date: November 18, 2025 We, the Kachin Feminist Initiatives (KFI), vehemently oppose the 2025 sham election organized by the State Security and Peace Commission (SSPC). This election is a military strategy intended solely to legitimize the military dictatorship as the rightful government, and it is nothing more than a pretense completely […]
Exposing the junta’s campaign of terror to stage a sham election As the junta continues to illegally and unjustly expand their military through forced conscription, the upcoming 2025 sham election is yet another calculated attempt by the junta to bolster its legitimacy.

The Burmese military has ruled and waged civil war within the territory of the union of Burma for many decades. As a result, Kachin and non-Burman ethnicities have been enduring severe hardship, such as impoverishment, and lack of access to health and education. In 1994, a ceasefire agreement was signed between the Kachin Independence Organization (KIO/A) and the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC), but did not lead to any political negotiation. Instead, the SPDC took advantage of the agreement to start large-scale extraction of natural resources from the territory of Kachin State.
