NUG (National Unity Government of Myanmar)

The National Unity Government (NUG) of Myanmar is an alternative administration formed in April 2021 by politicians and activists opposed to the military coup that ousted the elected government in February 2021. The NUG aims to restore democracy and represent the interests of the Myanmar people, particularly ethnic minorities and those who oppose military rule. It seeks international support and legitimacy while advocating for human rights and political reforms in Myanmar. The NUG is composed of former lawmakers and representatives from various political and ethnic groups, striving to unify various factions against the military junta.
