It is reported that the number of shops selling Myanmar junta products are decreasing after Moebye PDF, Southern Shan State, released and posted advocating letters not to sell them.

On 11 May 2022, Moebye PDF members posted letters on pubic areas warning people not to sell the products produced and owned by Myanmar military junta.

“We posted the letters on shops’ wall – some are big grocery stores. This is for educating and advocating people. The main objective is to advocate people not to sell the products produced and owned by Myanmar military junta,” a Moebye PDF member told SHAN.

Even though such warning letters are posted, some shops still keep selling products and beers produced and owned by military junta. However, the sale of those products are declining when compared to the past sale.

“Some are still selling the Myanmar junta owned products. We noticed some shops still keep beers produced by military owned companies, but not much. And the sale has been declining when compared to the past sale,” a Moebye resident told SHAN.

Moebye was the first town in Southern Shan State which took armed and fought against the Myanmar military junta since after the  coup in February 2021.
