Myriad woes: The Hindu Editorial On Myanmar’s war within

The Hindu  

Myanmar’s military did it again. On Tuesday, the junta, notorious for its attacks on civilians, carried out air strikes on an opposition gathering in the rebel-held Sagaing region, killing over 100, including women and children. The National Unity Government, the parallel administration formed by opposition groups, as well as witnesses, said a fighter jet and a combat helicopter bombed the gathering, which was celebrating the opening of an administrative office of the NUG; the regime, led by Gen. Min Aung Hlaing, calls it a “terrorist entity”. The strikes actually show the junta’s growing vulnerabilities rather than strength in the country’s ongoing civil war. But after the February 2021 coup, which toppled an increasingly popular Ms. Suu Kyi, the country slipped into a civil war between the regime and the NUG.
