FILE – Soldiers stand to provide security near a road in Naypyitaw, Myanmar, Feb. 1, 2021. The U.N.’s leading human rights body agreed Thursday, April 4, 2024, to measures aimed at putting pressure on Myanmar and Iran, whose governments have been accused of using violence against their own people.
Despite its great advantage in armaments and manpower, the military has been unable to quell the resistance movement. Over the past five months, the army has been routed in northern Shan state, is conceding swaths of territory in Rakhine state in the west, and is under growing attack elsewhere. “The Arakan Army has reportedly gained territorial control over most of central Rakhine and seeks to expand to northern Rakhine” where many minority Rohingya Muslims still live, he said.
The crisis continues to spill over the borders and added that conflicts in key border areas have weakened security, Khiari said. The breakdown in the rule of law has enabled illicit economies to thrive, with criminal networks preying on vulnerable people with no livelihoods.
