Is Myanmar’s Civil War at a Turning Point? (Level 1)

Aung San Suu Kyi, the former leader of Myanmar, recently met with a Red Cross representative. She has been in prison since the military took control of the country in 2021. At the same time, Myanmar's government is trying to end its international isolation. The military-backed leader, Min Aung Hlaing, has made official visits to India, China, and Thailand. Myanmar has been in a civil war since the 2021 coup. The military is fighting against pro-democracy groups and ethnic armed organizations. The war is very deadly: more than 100,000 people have been killed, and millions have been forced to leave their homes. The military is not winning, but it has become stronger recently. Some neighboring countries want to work with Myanmar's government again, but others say the violence must stop first.
