On February 1, 2021, Myanmar’s military, known as the Tatmadaw, staged a coup that ousted the democratically elected government led by the National League for Democracy (NLD), abruptly dismantling the civilian governance structure established since 2011. The military’s subsequent violent crackdown on peaceful protests and civil resistance rapidly escalated the conflict into a nationwide civil war. This not only reignited long-standing clashes between the Tatmadaw and ethnic armed organizations but also sparked a wave of revolutionary mobilization across diverse segments of society. Consequently, the country has descended into widespread chaos characterized by intensifying armed conflict, pervasive violence, and a deepening humanitarian crisis. The collapse of democratization has coincided with the erosion of state capacity, the breakdown of public services, and a surge in human suffering. This essay offers a comprehensive assessment and analysis of Myanmar’s security and humanitarian crisis in the aftermath of the coup, examining both the domestic and international dimensions of the ongoing civil war. |
