why do some countries refuse to recognise the name ‘myanmar’

A

Since the 1989 decision to change the English name from “Burma” to “Myanmar”, adoption of the new name in the English-speaking world has been mixed.

the United States still refers to the country as “Burma”. The United States government attributes its choice to support for the party deemed to have won the 1990 election, but been denied power by the junta. That party opposes the new name.[
