How this affects you
The ongoing civil war in Myanmar is intensifying as the junta consolidates military and political power through forced conscription and international backing, leading to significant reversals for resistance forces and a worsening humanitarian crisis with widespread displacement and human rights abuses across the country. The international community, however, has largely refused to recognize the legitimacy of the military's recent elections.
