Myanmar's junta: Is the rule of Myanmar's junta under threat

An alliance of ethnic minority groups and pro-democracy fighters has launched a coordinated attack on Myanmar's ruling military, posing the biggest challenge yet to the junta's rule. The offensive, named Operation 1027, has seen the rebels seize territory and military equipment, forcing the junta to concede that it is being tested. With its reputation at stake, the military is unlikely to concede easily and could mount a decisive response to crush the rebellion.
