Gemstones, both legitimately traded and smuggled, are a major source of revenue for Myanmar. Human rights activists and organizations such as the Britain-based research and lobbying group Global Witness have urged jewelers to stop purchasing gems sourced from Myanmar, as the industry has served as a vital revenue stream for its military governments over several decades.<\/p>\n<p>A\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/myanmar-military-junta-trump-sincere-appreciation-sanctions-letter\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">new, ostensibly civilian government<\/a><\/span> was installed this year, but it followed elections described by human rights and opposition groups as a sham. The vote returned to power President Min Aung Hlaing, the army chief who led the most recent military takeover in 2021. He and his Cabinet recently examined the giant ruby at his office in the capital, Naypyitaw.<\/p>\n<p>Gemstone mining also serves as a primary source of funding for ethnic armed groups fighting for autonomy, a factor that has helped fuel decades of internal conflict.<\/p>\n<p>The security of these mining regions remains volatile. Mogok was captured in July 2024 by the Ta&#8217;ang National Liberation Army, or TNLA, a guerrilla force representing the Palaung ethnic minority. Although the TNLA took over and operated the mines, control was eventually transferred back to Myanmar&#8217;s army as part of a China-mediated ceasefire agreement concluded late last year.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation
