The MoU includes a broad agenda of reforms such as systematic land reform, amnesty laws (excluding corruption/death), constitutional amendment, military reform, same-sex marriage legalization, and measures to address the cost of living, with its publication strategically timed on the anniversary of the 2014 coup.
