This was of particular interest to me because I have long been arguing that humanitarian responses amid conflicts or after disasters (or both) in places where the governing authority was considered illegitimate by the international community were, by definition, severely restricted in their ability to reach the most vulnerable populations. So here might be a way to reshape how international assistance gets to people suffering under difficult conditions.
The restrictions placed by Western governments on engaging with pariah regimes limit the ability to negotiate access to communities and peoples in desperate need of assistance. The essence of any negotiation with a pariah regime is to cede some ground (tacit recognition, acknowledgement of authority) in return for something greater (access to populations, suspension of attacks, freeing of civilians), a process of give and take made exceptionally difficult if you find yourself unable to give.
Thus, as I have been arguing within the U.N. and without, a new form of international engagement needs to be found that complements existing humanitarian approaches to reaching populations caught up in civil wars or living under oppressive military regimes. For however dramatic and intense the conditions ordinary people confront in such contexts, their community structures continue to function. It is on such local governance structures that any international effort in contested political settings should be built.
So, the purpose of my mission was to explore how such local governance structures worked: their degree of formalization, their relationships to the population, their links with armed groups and the structures and channels of support they received. I also wanted to gauge the level of political risk for Western governments that supporting such non-state structures would involve.
Everything changed when a new generation of military leaders took over in 2010. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi was released from prison and her party, the National League for Democracy (NLD), was allowed to participate in national elections. The military for the most part stood aside. Committed to completing the mission of her father, General Aung San, who had been assassinated in 1947, Suu Kyi set out to unify the country under a form of federalism that ensured Bamar dominance. But many of the armed groups rejected her vision. At the end of 2020, confronting an overwhelming NLD victory at the polls and concerned that it would lose its grip on power completely, the Tatmadaw prepared to stage a coup.
What Senior General Min Aung Hlaing had not counted on when he launched the coup on Feb. 1, 2021, was the fact that Myanmar had become a fundamentally different country following a decade of growing openness to the international community. Young people and civil society in general mobilized against him and the military in a manner unseen before; administrative officials, public civil servants and many workers took to the streets to protest. In the first months after the coup, the military killed thousands of people.
Myanmar is such a traditional society that I wondered if this clash of cultures between young and old was creating tensions and difficulties. One of the founders of an activist radio station called Federal FM Radio, which transmits news, music and updates on the revolution to all parts of Karenni from deep in the jungle, told me that, initially, local communities viewed the arrival of the young activists with distrust. But by respecting local traditions, remaining polite and, over time, being seen to provide services that had not previously existed in the region, they gained acceptance.
About two-thirds of the country is now reportedly gripped by conflict, of which an estimated 60% of the affected areas is no longer under Tatmadaw control. For the most part, the Tatmadaw only move from one point to another with heavy protection. Incapable of maintaining control on the the ground, the military instead conducts indiscriminate airstrikes and mortar attacks on civilians and their schools, churches, markets and of course hospitals. I found myself in the middle of three such attacks. People fled to shelters upon the sound of the approaching jets, but it was visible on their faces how much the violence was actually further fueling a hatred toward the military. There was no question of them being cowed into submission.
Young activists have also joined the rebel fighting forces. The Karenni Nationalities Defence Force (KNDF), launched by activists, was officially stood up on May 31, 2021. As a fighting force, it operates alongside the preexisting Karenni Army, the armed wing of the Karenni National Progressive Party, and has been involved in hundreds of clashes with the Tatmadaw, recently taking control of parts of the large towns of Loikaw and Demoso. One of its key leaders, 31-year-old Deputy Commander Marwi, was an organic farmer prior to the coup. Read Noema in print.
Over the following days, I came to realize that I was seeing a new form of community-based activism. While the KNDF was more of a revolutionary movement than a structured military force, a new type of civil society was also emerging; a civilian soldiery involved in military operations as well as providing assistance to vulnerable communities, all with noncombatant support from the general population.
Sometimes this creates challenges. Marwi explained to me that many of his backers exhort him not to take prisoners. Such was the suffering caused by the Tatmadaw that many in the population told him that they did not want their money going to feed the few hundred prisoners and deserters from the Myanmar military under the watch of the KNDF.
While the war progresses, for international aid organizations to engage with these new local governance structures, they must be willing to accommodate new forms of collaboration. They need to be patient and accept approaches that support open-ended processes (supporting and financing consultations at all levels, building the capacity of local administrations) rather than well-defined outcomes (schools, hospitals and food distribution), which in turn necessitates multiyear commitments rather than short-term funding cycles. More structural forms of intervention will need to be considered, such as supporting credit schemes and using non-traditional financial networks to facilitate cash transfers.
There's no big Ag here. We're rebelling against big agriculture and it's destructive practices. We're restoring the land using regenerative and sustainable farming practices to heal our land and health.
Industrialized farming systems of mass-produced livestock in feedlots and high-capacity barns are destroying our earth, our health and the very food system most rely upon. That model serves no-one but the "bigs". We've had enough. It's time to Give a Damn.
We raise grassfed beef and lamb, forested heritage pork, pasture raised broiler chickens and egg layers. All of our animals are raised outdoors on grassland pastures, bugs and fresh air like nature intended, not in giant industrialized agricultural barns or feedlots. True Regenerative Farming.
We farm using rotational grazing, frequently moving our animals across vibrant pasturelands. This process allows them to graze on fresh, nutrient-rich grasses while their presence naturally enhances the soil's fertility. It's a symbiotic relationship: the land provides for the animals, and the animals, in turn, replenish the land.
All of our animal species live their best possible lives outside in their natural environments as nature intended. Our pigs live in forested paddocks that we move every other week as they root up the land. Then the land is allowed to rest and rejuvenate.
I'm so thankful Rebel exists! This is great chicken with no weird after taste commercial chicken can have. I got a whole bunch of legs and they have been incredible to have in the freezer to pull out for happy dinners! I'm all in on your regenerative world. It's worth every penny. And you don't feel suss eating it!!
