The Myanmar military council plans to hold elections in 267 townships by late 2025, though feasibility is questionable due to widespread control by resistance groups. A tragic incident highlights the crisis: a 13-year-old Karenni girl died by suicide after being unable to attend school, reflecting the severe disruption of education amid ongoing conflict.
The military council in Myanmar announced the arrest of several individuals related to the assassination of U Cho Htun Aung, a retired general. Critics condemn the junta’s approach, targeting family members of suspects. The assassination reflects a broader strategy to intimidate military personnel, raising concerns over escalating violence and its implications for resistance strategies.
