On Friday, opponents of Myanmar’s junta formally announced the establishment of a National Unity Government (NUG) aimed at bringing together opponents to military rule, and marshaling local and international support for the restoration of democracy.
Centered on Aung San Suu Kyi and her ousted National League for Democracy (NLD) government, the formation of the NUG marks a culmination of 11 weeks of opposition following the military’s seizure of power on February 1.
