4 days agoMyanmar rebels to withdraw from two towns under new China-brokered truce
The TNLA agreed to withdraw from Mogok and Momeik under a China-mediated truce, with both sides halting advances and air strikes.
But Myanmar's civil war is not just a humanitarian catastrophe-it's a geopolitical fault line. The protracted conflict has displaced 2.6 million people, fueled transnational arms and drug networks, and drawn in outside powers like China and Russia-yet it remains largely absent from international policy debates. Analysts warn that continued neglect could destabilize Southeast Asia for years to come, potentially empowering malign actors across the region.
