Myanmar's Ongoing Struggle: Resistance, Bloodshed, and Standstill

TL;DR Summary
Three years after the military coup in Myanmar, armed resistance against the junta has intensified, leading to a state of chaos and economic decline. Over 4,400 people have been killed, and more than 25,000 arrested, with over two million displaced. Diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict have been ineffective, and the junta's grip on power is being challenged by opposition forces making significant gains. The military's strategy may involve holding long-promised elections in 2025, but the country is facing intensifying political, military, and economic crises, with growing calls for change.
