The Myanmar Civil War is an ongoing conflict that began in 1948, shortly after the country gained independence from British rule. It involves various ethnic armed groups fighting against the central government, which has been dominated by the Burmese military. The conflict has led to widespread violence, displacement, and humanitarian crises across the nation. In February 2021, the situation escalated when the military staged a coup, overthrowing the elected government led by Aung San Suu Kyi. This triggered mass protests and a civil disobedience movement, further intensifying the conflict. The war has resulted in significant casualties and has drawn international attention and condemnation.
