Myanmar has been in turmoil since the army seized power from the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi on Feb. 1, 2021, triggering widespread popular opposition. After peaceful demonstrations were put down with lethal force, many opponents of the military rule took up arms, and large parts of the country are now embroiled in conflict.The military government has stepped up airstrikes against the armed pro-democracy People’s Defense Force and ethnic minority guerrilla groups that have been fighting for greater autonomy for decades.A military airstrike this week on a village in Myanmar sheltering displaced people from the northern township of Bhamo, where a final round of the country’s three-phase election is to be held this weekend, killed 21 people, an ethnic rebel group. Has Myanmar government failed its people ?
