The elected President and government officials were captured by the military. There were ongoing tensions between the armed forces and the government following parliamentary elections loss by the army-backed opposition before this coup. The situation remains unpredictable and volatile though it has slightly better compared to prior periods.

1. R & R (break) • One week every three months and USD 300 allowance. This can change on a later stage. • Possibilities to visit Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia, China, Indonesia, Chiang Maï. 2. Living Conditions • Since the coup d'état in February 2021, the delivery of visas for international humanitarian staff has been extremely restricted. Over 2021 and 2022, the international team have settled in Thailand. • As of August 2022, the international team will be living in Chiang May, in a mountainous and charming city in the north of Thailand. With a recent shy reopening of the country, it is expected that the international staff will enter Myanmar on a rotating basis every couple of months. However, the frequency and length of stay in Myanmar will be directly linked to the context and security in country. 3. Culture in Myanmar • Mixture of Buddhist and Muslim culture, Christian in Kayah state. • Respectful behaviour and clothing at all times, especially for women. Female expats do not have to wear veils or other similar clothing. • The country has left just a few years ago from a strong military dictatorship, where strangers were perceived as enemies (and the civilians as well).The education system is still very conservative “in the model of repeating what the teachers are saying”. Critical and analytical senses are not taught. • Militaries have still a strong grab on the security and military apparatus and are not accountable to the civilian government.
