Abstract
First Paragraph:
The military coup in February 2021 derailed Myanmar¡¯s attempts to transition towards peace and democracy in Myanmar. Along with the political crisis, a humanitarian emergency has also emerged, marked by record displacement of people, and shortages of food and medicine ¨C fuelled by the continued violent crackdown by the military, and the
re-emergence of conflicts in different parts of the country. The opposition to the military, including the National Unity Government (NUG), the various ethnic armed/ resistance organisations¡¯ (EAOs/EROs), and the popular ¡°revolution¡± ¨C armed and non-violent Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM) ¨C have gained ground despite facing many difficulties. However, despite the international community¡¯s call for an immediate stop to the violence and systematic human rights abuses, the military has increasingly relied on violence to assert control.
