Stimson Center | Virtual Event

Description: Join us for a discussion with Zo Tum Hmung, Executive Director of the Chin Association of Maryland, about what the restructuring of governance in Chin State means for Myanmar’s resistance. The creation of a Chinland Council in northwestern Myanmar is helping to bring together a divided ethnic minority in a move that could have implications for the resistance against the military junta. While the new council faces barriers to progress and has raised many questions, a new governance structure and constitution work to reinvent the relationship between Chin State and central power in Myanmar.
