As recently as last year, Myanmar was being touted as an attractive destination for international investors, even in the face of bad publicity over the government’s handling of the crisis in Rakhine State, where almost 1 million Rohingya residents had been massacred or driven into exile.
“While potential investors should be wary of inadvertently supporting the persecution, well-placed investments could yield rewards and spur a developing economy,” wrote the website World Finance – which bills itself as “the voice of the market” – in February 2020.
“The raw materials for a thriving investment climate are all present if businesses are willing to enter the market.”

The military takeover in Myanmar continues to have deadly consequences for civilians who openly oppose the February 1 coup. In Bago on Friday, security forces killed 82 people, the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners told CBS News.
As of Friday, AAPP, which has been tracking incidents and fatalities, reports that at least 618 people, including at least 48 children, have been killed by the junta in the little more than two months since the military took over. One of the deadliest days occurred just two weeks ago on the 76th annual Armed Forces Day. While many military members celebrated the day, other security forces unleashed what the European Union Delegation to Myanmar called a day of terror and dishonour, killing at least 107 people, many of whom oppose the takeover.
