Aung San Suu Kyi’s son meets with two Myanmar resistance leaders

Kim Aris, the son of jailed State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, held a virtual meeting with National Unity Government (NUG) Acting President Duwa Lashi La on Sunday. This followed an online meeting with Arakan Army (AA) Commander-in-Chief Twan Mrat Naing on Sept. 6.

“Only through solidarity can we achieve freedom, dignity and justice for all,” Kim Aris shared on social media, following his meeting with the NUG on Sept. 14. 

Aris discussed with the two resistance leaders the urgent need for humanitarian assistance to civilians impacted by the conflict, which has engulfed Myanmar since the uprising to the 2021 military coup began.

He also called for more accountable leadership in the NUG and the AA, as calls for reform in the resistance by pro-democracy leaders have increased in recent months in Myanmar.
