Myanmar junta digs itself a deeper hole

The article from MSN discusses the ongoing crisis in Myanmar, where the military junta, which seized power in a coup in February 2021, is facing increasing challenges. The military, led by Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, has been unable to quell widespread resistance from various groups including the People's Defense Forces (PDFs), ethnic armed organizations (EAOs), and even some defectors from the military itself. The junta's attempts to hold elections have been met with skepticism and opposition, as they are seen as a means to legitimize their rule rather than restore democracy. The military's actions have led to international condemnation, with sanctions from Western countries and a refusal by ASEAN to allow Myanmar's military leaders to attend key meetings. The article highlights the military's strategic missteps, including its failure to control the narrative, the ongoing civil disobedience movement, and the increasing military losses, all of which suggest that the junta is digging itself into a deeper hole with no clear path to stability or acceptance both domestically and internationally.
