- Abstract
In 2023, Myanmar faced a deepening crisis as the anti-junta resistance, alongside ethnic armed groups, made territorial gains, leading to intense clashes with the military. Civilian deaths exceeded 4,000, revealing the impact of the Tatmadaw's operations on non-combatants. These casualties highlighted the indiscriminate nature of some of the military's actions. Ethnic armed groups played pivotal roles in anti-junta operations, and launched an unprecedented offensive from late October that led to the seizure of several towns and strategic junta bases in the northern region. Cases of military surrenders and defections coupled with the complex Rakhine State crisis added to the turmoil. The outlook remains bleak, underscoring the urgent need for international assistance to address the growing humanitarian crisis and seek a path to stability and reconciliation.
