A graph made by the British Broadcasting Channel to sum up the ongoing devastating
conflict in Myanmar.
What is going on right now?
Explaining the devastating conflict in a simple phrase, ‘It is basically a civil war between the
Chin people and the Junta’. Words can often be fooling though, as this is not just a conflict.
After the military coup in Myanmar in 2021, the Chin ethnic minority took up arms. The
Chin people are fighting to defend their territory, their identity, and their democratic
principles against the junta. In the mountains in the remote west of Myanmar, a bitter war is
raging. The Chin, a primarily Christian minority, still control most of the area after putting up
a fierce resistance against the Myanmar military.
This so-called conflict has halted the normalcy of the lives of the people of Myanmar at
stake. Although this struggle by the Chin people aims for the ultimate satisfaction and
well-being of the people of Myanmar, this civil war has embroiled the broken nation into an
unsettling reality with the very fabric of peace hanging by a thin thread.
What lies for Myanmar in the future?
