What you need to know about the crisis in Myanmar


May 6, 2021
On Feb. 1, 2021, the military in Myanmar detained senior members of the civilian government after claiming the country’s November 2020 elections were fraudulent. Mass protests have continued unabated since, despite hundreds of demonstrators killed and many more arrested. Protestors dependent on messaging apps and social media have found communications disrupted.
Clashes in the northeast of the country have increased levels of displacement inside the population. Further economic breakdown promises to disrupt communities nationwide as businesses and banks find it difficult to function, foreign investment dries up, workers strike and migrants flee the country.
Nearly 1 million Rohingya who fled violence in Myanmar's Rakhine State now live in Cox’s Bazar, a refugee settlement in Bangladesh that has been beset by natural disasters, including monsoon floods.
