How this affects you
The Burmese junta's recent territorial gains and political consolidation, supported by international actors, signal a significant setback for the resistance and may prolong the ongoing civil conflict, impacting civilians and regional stability. The elections held in late 2025 and an upcoming ICC decision regarding Min Aung Hlaing could further shape the country's political landscape.
