Myanmar Junta Recaptures Myawaddy: Resistance in Trouble? | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Myanmar's military junta recaptured the town of Myawaddy today. Myawaddy is a crucial trade hub that lies at the Myanmar-Thailand border. The town was captured by anti-junta forces on April 10. Myanmar's military launched a counteroffensive to retake Myawaddy, and succeeded after days of fighting. The resistance group known as the Karen National Liberation Army has retreated, but it says it will return. Meanwhile, a different group captured a junta outpost in northern Myanmar, near the Hpakant Township. So who is winning the civil war in Myanmar, the junta or the resistance? Who are the various groups fighting the military, and what happens to them if Myanmar's junta wins? Palki Sharma tells you.
