Violence in Myanmar Continues to Escalate

The military junta of Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, continues to crack down on pro-democracy protestors, as fears that the continued violence will grow into another civil war develop.

On Feb. 1, the Tatmadaw, Myanmar’s armed forces, seized control of the country after the ruling party, National League for Democracy, won reelection in a general election three months prior. Aung San Suu Kyi, the country’s de-facto leader, was taken into custody.

Since her arrest, pro-democracy activists have taken to the streets, holding marches and general strikes. The Junta has responded by shutting down internet access and violently suppressing demonstrations, These actions range from conducting airstrikes on ethnic rebel strongholds to using live ammunition on protestors. The deadliest day so far came on March 27, Armed Forces Day, when the Junta killed over 100 protestors. Overall, over 500 people have been killed since the beginning of the coup.

The Biden Administration, as well as the United Nations, have condemned the violence. “Military leaders have clearly shown they are not capable of managing the country,” UN Special Envoy Christine Schraner Burgener said on March 31. While President Joe Biden imposed sanctions early on, the U.N. has warned that the country is heading into a “bloodbath” if conditions do not change.

The People’s Republic of China, on the other hand, opposes sanctions and would rather see a “democratic transition” to restore order. China is viewed as an ally to the Myanmar Junta, as demonstrators have responded by burning down Chinese-run factories.

Myanmar is no stranger to political violence. In 1948, Burma declared independence from British rule. Since then, the country, under military dictatorship, has been ravaged by war from communist insurgents and ethnic groups, including the Karen and Katchin people.

The latest chapter of conflict stems back to the 8888 Uprising, nearly 30 years ago. The military dictatorship violently suppressed calls for democracy. Two years later, elections were held but the results were not honored, leading to Suu Kyi’s 15-year long house arrest. In 2011, the Junta loosened their grip on power and held semi-free elections.

Since being released from house arrest, Suu Kyi was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and led her party to electoral victory. Despite her commitment to peace and democracy, she has been accused of inciting genocide against another ethnic group, the Rohingya people.

As the Junta’s aggressive crackdown on democracy rages on, the violence has rallied the various ethnic groups together and have vowed to fight the Junta to the end.
