The National Unity Government of Myanmar (NUG) was formed in April 2021 as a response to the military coup that overthrew the democratically elected government led by Aung San Suu Kyi. The NUG aims to represent the interests of the people and restore democracy in Myanmar, uniting various ethnic groups and political factions against military rule. The NUG consists of former lawmakers, ethnic leaders, and activists who oppose the military junta. It seeks international recognition and support to challenge the military's authority and address the humanitarian crisis in the country, advocating for human rights and democratic governance.
