Burma Gas The Shwe Gas Movement (SGM) is made up of individuals and groups of people from western Burma who are affected by the plans to extract natural gas from Arakan State as well as regional and international friends who share our concerns. SGM was initiated in late 2002 by the All Arakan Students’ and Youths’ Congress (AASYC) with the support of Arakan leaders and grassroots communities. AASYC is rooted in Arakan State and has offices in Thailand and Bangladesh
