MYANMAR JUNTA FORMS MAJOR GENERAL-LED TASK FORCE TO LAUNCH GLOBAL PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE AND DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN.

The article focuses on the Myanmar military junta's establishment of a 12-member task force called the "Information Sheet Publication and Counter-Information Dissemination Group," led by Major General Aung Myo Thant, to intensify information operations against armed insurgent groups and unfavorable independent media reports. Formed in January 2026, the group aims to conduct psychological warfare, publish morale-boosting news for military officers and civil servants, and disseminate key policy reports in multiple languages to domestic and international audiences. It also utilizes social media to promote the junta's narrative and promptly refute opposing media. Additionally, since mid-2025, the junta has operated a Community Development Committee to rally public support and counter revolutionary forces through coordinated propaganda.
