42% of Myanmar is now controlled by a hodgepodge of ethnic-minority armies and local rebels, overwhelmingly answering to no central authority - not even the anti-junta "National Unity Government". A level of territorial-political fragmentation unseen in Myanmar since 1950s. 2/2
Pleased to have supported this amazing project, mapping the incredible fragmentation of territorial control in post-coup Myanmar. Using informants at village-group level it shows the junta's control has shrunk to <25%, a patchwork of mostly urban/ Bamar areas. 1/2
Myanmar's secret soldier-spies have been undermining military control. We've spoken to a few of them to learn.

The once formidable Myanmar military is cracking from within - riddled with spies secretly working for the pro-democracy rebels.

Issam was the sweetest colleague. He let me take a kitten I was nursing on assignment once, and made it a bed in his helmet. But he always reminded me, whenever I got careless: “Our goal is to cover the news, not become it”. I am so sorry this happened to you my dear Issam. RIP.

Myanmar's military is suffering defections and struggling to recruit. In exclusive interviews, defected soldiers tell the BBC the junta (who seized power in the 2021 coup) is struggling to suppress the uprising. From @kkaung@rebeccahenschke@attwoodch

There is no other situation 🌍 in which 6 million people have been kept under siege for almost 2 years like in #Tigray, Ethiopia. This is a health crisis. I urge the intl. community to give this crisis the attention it deserves. There is a narrow window now to prevent genocide.

As Ethiopian and Eritrean forces intensify their offensive in #Tigray, collective inaction is no longer an option, key actors need to change tact and use all tools at their disposal to protect civilians at risk of further atrocities https://t.co/6BEpKPMc1h
