Respect Myanmar

The Burma Affairs and Conflict Studies Group (BACS) is an organisation formed by a collective of committed young people including activists, engineers, students, media professionals, and others from diverse backgrounds—who share a firm determination to resist all forms of authoritarian rule. Prior to formally organizing, members had individually engaged in collecting information strategically, conducting analyses, and preparing reports to be shared with relevant policymakers and movement actors.

In 2022, BACS was established with the intention of presenting research-based analysis to the public and to local and international stakeholders in a more systematic and comprehensive manner. From the early days of the Spring Revolution’s protest movement to the present period of armed resistance, BACS has been actively conducting political and military analysis for nearly five years. Its core objectives include strengthening the people’s movement, contributing to the complete dismantling of authoritarian systems, and advancing transitional justice efforts in the post-revolution period. The group remains committed to these aims through continuous research and analytical work.
