He reiterated that in order to bring an end to the military\u2019s continuing brutality, bold and resolute action is required from all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As such, he called upon the United Nations, its agencies, and the international community to support the people of Myanmar in their efforts to dismantle the military dictatorship and establish a Federal Democratic Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He concluded that the only sustainable path to development in Myanmar is one grounded in peace and stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The annual Executive Board meeting of the UNDP, UNFPA, and UNOPS took place at the United Nations Headquarters in New York from June 2 to June 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>========================<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udccc\ud83d\udccc&nbsp;<strong>2.

In the newly submitted proposal, it was detailed that VOA would also see drastic cuts\u2014<strong>from over 1,000 staff members to just 81.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the proposal, only a few language services would be retained, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>2 speakers for Palestinian Arabic,<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>2 for Chinese,<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>30 for Cuban Spanish,<\/strong>\u00a0and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>2 for Afghan languages.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The suspension of RFA and VOA\u2014two major American broadcast networks that have consistently delivered free and transparent information to the Myanmar public throughout both the Spring Revolution and Myanmar\u2019s ongoing struggle for democracy\u2014marks a&nbsp;<strong>significant loss<\/strong>&nbsp;in terms of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Access to independent information,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Press freedom, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The democratic and federalist aspirations of the people of Myanmar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Former President Trump has justified the move by accusing these media outlets of betraying American national values and allegedly spreading&nbsp;<strong>biased propaganda<\/strong>.
