Myanmar's Military is Losing: What Happens Next?

Three years ago, Myanmar's military overthrew the country's democratically elected government, ending a short-lived period of imperfect democracy, and starting a full-scale civil war. So, what's been happening in Myanmar, and can the country break apart?

As a Thai, it’s kinda worrying how this could effect the rest of the region as well. The wave of refugees are already increasing

It is criminal how little this conflict gets covered. I hope for the best for all the innocent people of Myanmar. May they become a free and prosperous nation.

Democracy is not perfect but it is infinitely better thwn any other sociopolitical system. Military dictatorship and authoritarianism rarely lead to anything good for society. As a Nigerian, i will maintain this stance forever

as a south korean, i hope burmese people can live in a land of peace and free as soon as possible. my country was once like myanmar, ruled by military government, south koreans had no freedom of anything just like north koreans. however our people were brave enough to overcome everything, civilians end up gained victory against military party, and made our nation so strong. i certainly believe that burmese people are the same too.

I dont think it will break up. If anything, in a case of a rebel cictory, the country will be federalised along ethnic lines, similar to Ethiopia (but hopefully without the same outcome).

I've visited Myanmar which is an absolutely beautiful country.
Myanmar people are honest, friendly and helpful.
I hope Myanmar manages to sort things out.
Peace and prosperity to all Myanmar people! 🙏🙏🙏

1:47 The green bar is way too big for 30 seats against 255

I'll forever find it wild that a key piece of historical footage for this time/place is this lady livestreaming a yoga/aerobics session.

It is amazing that she did not hear the military vehicles

I feel that Myanmar has been quite underreported on, glad its starting to receive more coverage

[RespectTheGanja]

The Wa State is no longer the only sovereign state within Myanmar. At the end of last year, the Chin state also declared its sovereignty from Myanmar renaming itself as the State of Chinland:

6:21 is that a minecraft breaking glass sound?

For future reference: 'Kyat' is pronounced as 'chat' or at least it was when I visited the country some years ago :) I only mean to be of help. Keep reporting on Myanmar, as its people simply does not deserve to be forgotten again as they were when the country was closed of.

I would like to thank Top Gear for teaching me what the Shan state is.

Looks like he actually did research and did a good report unlike some people trying to use the conflict to get clicks.

6:50 situation in Bangladesh-Burma border is really bad, 2 people died by morter shell explosion and several people are wounded by bullet shot from helicopter inside the boundary of Bangladesh.
More than 200+ burmese Border gaurd/Army/govt. staff fled to Bangladesh till 06/02/2024.

As someone who literally just made a research project about Myanmar, things aren’t looking good

As a Bangladeshi i am worried about the wave of refugees AGAIN, already there are more than 1.2 million Rohingya refugees residing in my country and now from past few days the BGP(Myanmar Border Guards) are also coming and taking shelter in Bangladesh, we are very scared I don’t know what’s going to happen.

I wish peace comes to Myanmar.
