Neutrality

As written, the article makes it sound as if the NUG is actually governing in Myanmar, and makes no mention of the fact that it's a government in exile and the State Administration Council is the government actually in power. ― Tartan357 ^Talk 04:23, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Tartan357: They are both trying to claim the title "Legitimate Government of Myanmar" and trying to rule the country and both still don't have the power to rule the country. NUG as the federal democratic way and caretaker government as the dictatorist way. You might think Military's government is in power because they have offices but it's absolutly not, as you could see in the days of Silence Strikes, people only followed NUG's statement and didn't follow (nearly) anything that has been announced by Military's Government.Editor in Myanmar (talk) 15:26, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've improved the article's neutrality since making this comment nearly a year ago. The State Administration Council is the current government of Myanmar, whether that's accepted by people or not. Writing the article as if the NUG is in power just because they were removed illegally is misinformation, which doesn't help their cause. ― Tartan357 ^Talk 08:16, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Tartan357 Ohh, yeah. I didn't check the date. Sorry.

But as I said "You might be wrong by thinking that Military Council is governing us because they can't do anything to most of the people that don't follow their statements, their soldiers are just in bunkers because they're worried that they might get shot when they go outside and just able to do notthing when NUG is able to, at least, make the people follow it's statement (like in Silent Strike days)

Criticism

Can we perhaps add the criticism section on this page, with particular regards to NUG not being representative of various stakeholders of Myanmar (for example some Rakhine and Rohingya^[1])? The nature of NUG and the circumstances of its origin definitely plays a role in limited representation, which bounds its ability to consider different voices and concerns from those who are not at the table.

Xanekka, in most cases I think criticism is best integrated with other content rather than in a standalone criticism section—see WP:CRIT. I'd suggest creating a section on the stakeholders in general which can include some of this criticism alongside less controversial information. ― Tartan357 ^Talk 05:04, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
