Myanmar's Junta Faces Unprecedented Opposition as Resistance Gains Momentum

Three years after the military coup, Myanmar's junta struggles to maintain control amid escalating conflict and international condemnation.

On the third anniversary of Myanmar's military coup, cities and towns observed a silent strike, showcasing widespread defiance against the junta.
The junta's grip is challenged by significant territorial losses to ethnic armed groups and a grassroots resistance movement, marking a potential turning point in the conflict.
International calls for an end to violence and a return to democracy intensify, with the UN and the US imposing further sanctions on the military regime.
The humanitarian crisis deepens, with over 2.6 million internally displaced and millions in need of aid, as the junta's violent crackdown on civilians continues.
Analysts suggest the military's strategy may involve holding elections in 2025, but internal unrest and the opposition's momentum could lead to significant changes before then.
