Depuis fin octobre, la Brotherhood Alliance, un trio de groupes ethniques armées, a repris dans l’État Shan frontalier avec la Chine une centaine de postes militaires jusqu’alors au main de la junte birmane. Cette alliance a promis d’étendre son offensive à tout le pays. La Birmanie se dirige-t-elle vers une chute des généraux putschistes ou une dislocation ?

Wanchalearm Satsaksit: The Thai satirist abducted in broad daylight - BBC News

Wanchalearm Satsaksit, 37, a prominent Thai pro-democracy activist who had lived in exile in Cambodia since 2014, has not been seen since. He is the ninth exiled critic of Thailand’s military and monarchy to become a victim of enforced disappearance in recent years.

A popular and colourful character, Wanchalearm’s activism started more than a decade ago, primarily focusing on gender and LGBT rights in Thailand. Over time, his interest started to shift to broader calls for democracy in the country, says Sunai Phasuk, a senior researcher for Human Rights Watch Asia and friend of Wanchalearm.

By the time of the 2014 military coup led by General Prayuth Chan-ocha, Wanchalearm was affiliated with the United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD), also known as the Red Shirts. The group was first formed in 2006 to oppose an earlier military coup which overthrew then prime minister, Thaksin Shinawatra.

The Military Will Still Control Myanmar After Aung San Suu Kyi’s Victory - US News

The returns from Myanmar’s parliamentary election show there will be an overwhelming victory for longtime democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi and her National League for Democracy, enabling them to form the next government. But the oddest feature of the election is that Suu Kyi herself, who led her party to a landslide victory, cannot become president. This reality is just one visible symptom of the even more difficult struggle that lies ahead. It is very much a critical and open question if the military will feel compelled to cede any ground in light of the new government.

“We reached a point of having killing squads in the Ministry of Interior used against activists. The rights of citizens are being lost, and the constitution ignored. The Ministry of Interior is taking its vengeance against the people who made the 25 January Revolution,” Mokhtar Mounir, a lawyer at the Association for Freedom of Thought and Expression (AFTE), told Mada Masr on Friday.

Ousted General in Egypt Is Back, as Islamists’ Foe
▻http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/30/world/middleeast/ousted-general-in-egypt-is-back-as-islamists-foe.html

A year after the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak, the man responsible for rooting out government corruption, Gen. Mohamed Farid el-Tohamy, faced a very public barrage of allegations that he had deliberately covered up years of cronyism and self-dealing.

President Mohamed Morsi promptly fired the general, prosecutors opened an investigation, the news filled the papers and his career appeared to end in disgrace.

But now the general is back, and more powerful than ever. His protégé and friend, Gen. Abdul-Fattah el-Sisi, ousted Mr. Morsi about four months ago, and virtually the first move by the new government was to rehabilitate General Tohamy and place him in charge of the general intelligence service, one of the most powerful positions in Egypt.

Activists on all sides in Egypt feel the chill

These days. (...) the official dragnet extends far beyond the Brotherhood. Criticizing the army, the mere questioning of government policy, or expressing views that could be construed as sympathetic toward dead and detained Islamist “terrorists” has become a dangerous game.

“It’s clear that we are witnessing a sort of exclusion against anyone who is voicing a concern against the current authority,” said Badr Shafai, a professor and political science researcher at Cairo University. “Anyone who criticizes the authority would be subjected to it.”

L’Egypte paniquée par les gaz utilisés contre les manifestants place Tahrir | Rue89

Selon lui, les gaz lacrymogènes usuels, même fortement dosés, ne provoquent pas de troubles neurologiques :

« Les effets décrits me font penser que les cartouches employées contenaient des gaz de type nervins, qui sont de vraies armes chimiques de guerre. [...]

Il s’agit peut-être d’un produit semblable à celui utilisé par les forces spéciales russes lors de la prise d’otage du théâtre de la Doubrovka de Moscou du 23 octobre 2002. »
