In a matter of months, the People's Defense Forces have evolved from rag-tag groups into organized, and increasingly well-armed, military outfits.

Stripping dissenters of their citizenship is a tried and tested policy of Myanmar's military.

Coups and military interventions are on the rise, with disastrous implications for good governance and accountability.

A year after its coup, Myanmar’s army is being defied by its people, but remains determined to defend and lengthen its reign.

Noeleen Heyzer said that Thailand "has an important role in preventing further deterioration of the crisis in Myanmar."

The 76-year-old leader now faces a barrage of more than 15 criminal charges, designed to consign her to an early – and forced – retirement.

The terror attack in Kayah State portends a dry season military offensive against the anti-coup resistance.

The sentences relate to just two of the more than 10 criminal charges facing the country's ousted leader.

The post-coup resistance movement has its sights set on toppling the Tatmadaw once and for all – including by weakening the military from within.

Myanmar chose not to send a delegate to the summit after the bloc voted to take coup leader Min Aung Hlaing off the guest list.

Despite uninviting Min Aung Hlaing from the summit, it remains unclear whether the Southeast Asian bloc has a longer-term plan.

Though the new service marks the realization of a years-long quest, many questions remain about its future direction and evolution.
