Myanmar coup

Four years on, there is an urgent need for international action to tackle the Myanmar military's culture of impunity.

Nearly seven months since the coup, the armed resistance to the military junta continues to grow and expand.

The country passes a grim milestone with no clear solution to its political crisis in sight.

There is an urgent need for foreign governments to help ensure that a generation of Myanmar youth is not lost to the country's political turmoil.

Without any support from the military regime, hundreds of thousands of villages in Myanmar are crying out for help.

The country currently faces a fatal combination of political upheaval, stalled vaccination efforts, and escalating outbreaks of the virus.

Than Shwe's illness is paralleled by the collapse of the crafted system of semi-democracy that he engineered.

Can Western democracies offer similar aid without legitimizing Myanmar's military administration?

The envoy's mission relies on good faith commitment on the part of the junta, but this remains unlikely.

The Southeast Asian bloc shouldn't be expected to take on more than it is capable of or willing to do.

The revelation of a plot against Ambassador Kyaw Moe Tun will only deepen the junta's international opprobrium.

As Myanmar's crisis deepens, the country's women are bearing much of the burden.
