- Myanmar coup anniversary: The hidden costs of war
- Date posted
- 1 year ago
- Description
- The military coup launched four years ago has brought untold suffering to the people of Myanmar.
The Feb. 1, 2021, power grab by army chief Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing plunged the country into nationwide armed conflict. Torching of villages by junta forces, indiscriminate air strikes and stomach-churning atrocities have become commonplace. The U.N. says civilian deaths spiked 50% in the year up to June 2024.
But the conflict has also wounded the military.
