Myanmar civil war

Since control over this strategic town will give the military an advantage, it is being relentlessly bombed – displacing the entire population.

War isn’t cheap. How has the National Unity Government funded itself – and its military efforts?

Heavy attacks by Myanmar’s military are threatening civilian safety and security. The world must not look away.

Myanmar’s anti-coup forces are rigging civilian drones to carry bombs, while the Tatmadaw uses UAVs for surveillance.

The strong, armed resistance movement surprised the regime, but without greater international support, the situation will likely continue to deteriorate.

Mediation currently appears more fantasy than possibility as the crisis inches toward its one-year mark with both the NUG and SAC digging in for a long slugging match.

Is the Tatmadaw getting overstretched?

With both the NUG and the junta convinced of an inevitable victory, Myanmar is heading toward an even more violent period.

“A new political paradigm may be emerging in Myanmar... The youth-led resistance has bridged ethnic divides in a way that appears genuinely new and important.”

“We can’t just wait to get help until we die”: More and more protesters see no hope for a return to democracy outside of taking up arms.

Despite an ongoing peace process, Myanmar is littered with mines. Civilians are paying the price.

Though recent successes deserve mention, they also pale in comparison to both the magnitude and multidimensionality of the overall problem.
