The military regime has reportedly massacred more than 40 civilians including children, women and monks during a 20-day scorched-earth campaign in Magwe Region’s Pakokku Township within sight of the UNESCO heritage town of Bagan. Marauding soldiers looted and torched some 1,000 homes.

Civil war is brutal. Can’t believe I hear so little about Myanmar if this has been going on since 2021.

    yes. the current junta chief is a ruthless bastard. He was shooting protesters in the head in 2021. Their organs were found harvested when relatives go to pick up their bodies. Going into villages killing a lot of folks and razing their homes. They're not calling this genocide because he's doing this against his own ethnicity and the world is not paying attention because it's just little brown buddhists being killed. It's sad.
