Myanmar's ethnic armies consolidate strongholds as junta weakens, reports say

- Myanmar's ruling junta has lost control over vast tracts of territory, including access to much of its international borders, allowing ethnic armed groups to expand and consolidate regions under their control, two reports assessing the conflict said on Thursday.

"The junta has abandoned significant territory and has been forced into a defensive posture in most parts of the country where it remains present." "The ethnic armed groups that have achieved many of these military victories are consolidating control of their expanded homeland areas, with many well on the way to establishing autonomous statelets," the non-profit Crisis Group said in a report.
