Recent rebel offensives have the military junta reeling. A little bit of outside support could hasten its collapse.

If confirmed, the fall of the capital of the Kokang Self-Administered Zone would mark a significant defeat for the military junta that seized power in February 2021.

The rebel group has shed its reputation as an opium trafficking syndicate and pledged itself to the Spring Revolution. Is its transformation more than skin deep?

The shadow government has promised to continue the warm partnership with Beijing maintained by the ousted NLD government.

The MNDAA's reported capture of the Yanlonkyaing border gate marks a further step toward its reconquest of the Kokang Self-Administered Zone in northern Shan State.

The Three Brotherhood Alliance made the announcement two days after reports that it took part in peace talks with the military administration.

Resistance forces now face the challenge of building an ethnically inclusive and democratic state, something that no government in Myanmar has ever achieved.

A spokesperson for China's Foreign Ministry hailed the "positive results" of the talks, but a lasting peace is unlikely.

Are Min Aung Hlaing's comments a sign that his military administration is looking for an off-ramp?

Contrary to some speculation, Beijing is not supporting the ongoing rebel offensive in Shan State.

The complaint, filed by the advocacy group Fortify Rights, requested an investigation into military atrocities committed since 2016.

The arrest of the previously "untouchable" Ye Htut hints at internal struggles within the junta as it suffers continued battlefield reverses.
