📰 Myanmar’s Crisis: Four Years After the Coup
🔹 Current Situation
✅ Myanmar remains in conflict and economic collapse since the 2021 military coup.
✅ The country is fragmented, with government forces battling ethnic armed groups and resistance movements.
✅ Over 3.3 million people displaced, thousands arrested, and ongoing military brutality.
🔹 ASEAN & UN’s Role
✅ ASEAN’s Five-Point Consensus has failed due to lack of commitment from the junta.
✅ The UN has delegated mediation to ASEAN, but peace talks remain stalled.
🔹 Challenges for Neighbors
✅ Borders with India and Bangladesh controlled by ethnic armed groups (EAOs), not the Myanmar government.
✅ China holds key influence in Myanmar’s internal politics, limiting Western intervention.
🔹 Key Takeaway
Myanmar’s crisis demands internal resolution, as external actors fail to mediate effectively. The people continue to suffer, paying the price for their leaders' failures.
