Myanmar’s military dictatorship won’t be around forever – Myanmar Now

Nant Zoya Phan, programme director of Burma Campaign UK, and Naw Wahkushee, director of Karen Peace Support Network, write in Myanmar Now:

“In our decades of interactions with presidents, prime ministers, government ministers and diplomats all over the world, one flawed assumption has underpinned their understanding and approach to our country. That assumption is that Myanmar’s military is somehow invincible.”

By contrast, KPSN’s recent report shows that the junta’s ability to control southeast Burma has significantly diminished since the February 2021 coup. And In Kachin, Chin and Karenni states the military is struggling to maintain or regain territory.

“We can’t say when the military will fall. But fall it will”, Zoya Phan and Wahkushee conclude. “We — and the world — need to be ready for what comes next.”
