International governments should impose"tougher sanctions" on Myanmar and restrict its military from accessing aviation fuel, the son of the country's ousted leader has said.was the head of Myanmar's government before she was arrested during a military coup in the country in 2021.undercover deep in the jungle in MyanmarThey spent a month in Myanmar with resistance fighters, medics and volunteers who are fighting a war the military regime claims isn't happening.
Asked why international governments are not speaking about the war in Myanmar as much as people in the country would hope, Mr Aris said:"Unfortunately, I think it's kind of an indication of the disinterest of people in what's going on on the other side of the world... Until people themselves start to get involved, the governments aren't likely to do anything."
He added that governments have"condemned what's happening" but now need to take more meaningful steps.Kim Aris and his mother Aung San Suu Kyi in Myanmar in 2010.

At the moment, the military are cutting off all aid to everybody."'s access to aviation fuel comes as the military is using fighter jets to bomb targets during the civil war.
He cited a report from the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights which says China and Russia are the main suppliers of advanced weapons to Myanmar's military.
