In Myanmar, the military junta is facing significant setbacks as resistance groups and insurgents gain momentum across the country. These groups have successfully seized control of a town on the Thai border, signaling a major blow to the military regime. The opposition's efforts have been characterized by capturing a wide range of weapons and depleting the army's personnel, as noted by @JoshKurlantzick. This surge in resistance activity comes amid a three-year conflict aimed at overthrowing the ruling junta, with a new generation of rebel fighters emerging, prepared for a future beyond military rule. The United Nations has responded to the escalating situation by appointing a new special envoy for Myanmar, Nicola Williams. Furthermore, Ethnic Armed Organizations (EAOs) now control Myanmar's international borders with neighboring countries, indicating a significant shift in power. Amid these developments, the morale within the junta's ranks is reportedly low, with big battlefield losses and drone attacks at the Naypyitaw headquarters affecting the generals' psychological state. Despite the ongoing conflict and hardship faced by the country's population, there is a growing sentiment among the people, especially the youth, against the military government, with some like Jenny, 18, already preparing for a return to civilian life in anticipation of a free country.
