"Unprecedented Pressure: Myanmar's Junta Chief Faces Defeat as Economy Tightens and Civil Strife Continues"

Three years after the coup, Myanmar's junta chief Min Aung Hlaing is facing unprecedented pressure as public criticism and battlefield defeats weaken his leadership. The military has lost control of at least 35 towns in a rebel offensive, leading to frustration and low morale within the ranks. The junta's struggles with recruitment and economic challenges have further eroded support, while the opposition seeks negotiations with the military to establish a civilian government and end military involvement in politics. The junta's future remains uncertain amidst growing resistance and internal discontent.
