A joint statement of 514 civil society organisations (CSOs) said that the current approach of UN OCHA (the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs) will embolden the Myanmar junta to further its war of terror across the nation.
Burma Campaign UK published the statement, reports Mizzima, in response to UN OCHA’s visit to Myanmar, including a meeting with coup leader Min Aung Hlaing.
The CSOs asked UN OCHA and other UN humanitarian agencies to cut ties with the illegal criminal junta and pivot to delivering aid in collaboration or partnership with local humanitarian, civil society and ethnic groups, and the National Unity Government.
