Myanmar’s military is facing its biggest military challenge since it seized power in a coup more than two years ago, after an alliance of opponents cut off key trading routes and seized towns and dozens of outposts near the Chinese border.
Sad to see another country descending into perpetual civil war and slowly turning into a failed state (hopefully not, and I’m completely wrong).
The people deserve better, but old power cannot let go of their darn solid gold toilet (metaphor).
Good for them for fighting back, but it should not have gone this far. As too many innocent are being sacrificed.
