A report by Frontier Myanmar published on 2 June noted that a deadly, pro-military vigilante group accused of murdering opposition members and supporters has begun publicising its violence on social media platforms. The military blamed the bombing on the armed wing of the opposition government, which denied the allegations and – in turn – fingered the junta. A bomb exploded in Yangon on 31 May, injuring nine and killing one. As Myanmar nears a year-and-a-half under junta rule, unrest has continued outside longstanding conflict zones. The “collective punishment” tactic, notes Amnesty, has been embraced by the Tatmadaw in its suppression of ethnic minority groups. More than 150,000 people have been displaced, and hundreds of citizens killed, during assaults by soldiers who have razed and looted entire villages. A new investigation by Amnesty International found evidence of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Kayin and Kayah states, where soldiers have been “systematically committing widespread atrocities in recent months, including unlawfully killing, arbitrarily detaining and forcibly displacing civilians”. The Tatmadaw, as Myanmar’s military is known, has also doubled down on a decades-long civil war with ethnic minority groups. Since the junta took power in a February 2021 coup, security forces have violently quashed all forms of civilian protest across the country. The number of internally displaced people in Myanmar has now topped 1 million, the UN reported this week. In a new report published on 1 June, the Norwegian Refugee Council flagged Congo as the world’s most neglected displacement crisis.Ītrocities continue in Myanmar as displacement passes 1 million Angola is leading a regional initiative to mediate between Congo and Rwanda.

As the M23 launches its biggest offensive in a decade, which has forced tens of thousands of people to flee their homes, a senior UN official told the Security Council it was imperative it lends “its full weight to ongoing regional efforts to defuse the situation and bring an end to the M23 insurgency, once and for all”. The day before, hundreds of people had turned up outside Rwanda’s embassy in Kinshasa to protest against alleged Rwandan military “meddling” in Congo’s eastern province of North Kivu. On 31 May, after accusing Congo of a cross-border rocket strike, Kigali warned that it would retaliate against any further attacks. At the heart of the dispute is Kinshasa’s accusation that Kigali is supporting resurgent M23 rebels in Congo’s volatile east, while Rwanda alleges the Congolese army is collaborating with anti-Rwandan FDLR rebels. The Democratic Republic of Congo agreed this week to release two detained Rwandan soldiers as a step towards easing tensions between the two neighbours. Regional spat draws attention to a neglected crisis in eastern Congo Not everyone has felt the impact in their daily lives, though, with many people still worried about inflation, unpaid salaries, and food they cannot afford. The number of civilians killed and injured reportedly dropped by 50 percent, while civilian flights have been taking off from Sana’a airport for the first time in years, and some fuel ships were allowed to dock at the port city of Hodeidah. Despite violations, however, the ceasefire has largely been a success.

A key sticking point has been how to end a Houthi rebel siege around most of the city of Taiz, which has had little relief from fighting during more than seven years of war. Aid groups, who said they had seen “positive humanitarian impacts of the truce”, had been pushing hard for a renewal, but negotiations went long, with major differences between the sides proving hard to resolve.
