Part 4: The KIO’s SCEF gamble (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Welcome to the final of this mini-series on the Myanmar mainstream resistance’s latest, and possibly last, attempt at political unity. If the acronyms are new to you, check out the previous parts (or On Myanmar in general).I wanted to inquire if the SCEF has substance or if it’s a rebrand being presented as progress while the military retakes territory and strengthens its position internationally. After attending an SCEF press conference and interviewing Dr Zaw Wai Soe, the SCEF’s chief coordina
Part 3: Will the SRA join the SCEF? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I planned to make this the third and final post on the substance of the SCEF, ending on the role of the coalition’s crucial member, the KIA. Alas, a few lines on the Spring Revolution Alliance (SRA)’s relationship with the SCEF has snowballed into its own post. The KIA will star in the fourth and last of this little series, I promise.

Read excerpt
Getting excited about the Steering Council for the Emergence of a Federal Democratic Union (SCEF) was hard work. Not just because of the name.Myanmar’s anti-junta resistance has spent years accumulating acronyms, and each new one has made the picture of who’s running the opposition harder to see. So instead of tracing the whole alphabet soup, I called the man at the center of the latest one: Dr Zaw Wai Soe, the SCEF’s chief coordinator and a mi
Who’s actually fighting in Myanmar’s civil war? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
To grasp the breadth and complexity of Myanmar’s civil war, it helps to see four broad camps in the war: the military regime, led by Min Aung Hlaing; a range of ethnic armed groups; post-coup forces aligned with the shadow administration of the National Unity Government (NUG); and newer resistance groups fighting to transform the political order.<a class="button primary" href="https://lorcanlovett.substack.com/p/whos-actually-fighting-in-myanmars?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=
