Myanmar, resistance to the regime is no longer peaceful

BANGKOK – “I don’t think there will be a civil war”. Less than a week ago, the leader of the Burmese coup leaders Min Aung Hlaing thus answered the question of a Chinese-language broadcaster, la Phoenix Television based in Hong Kong. But in the following days the pockets of armed resistance more or less organized against the Myanmar army multiplied in various states and cities, where new “People’s Defense Forces” are born, wanted by the “shadow government”, renamed the Unity Government national, formed by former deputies of the National League for Democracy (NDA) of Aung San Suu Kyi and ethnic leaders.
