Who is fighting in Myanmar's multi-front civil war?

"The military regime, which seized control of the country in 2021, is increasingly confident it can win the brutal civil war that has ensued."

"Bolstered by arms sales from China and Russia, the military now deploys fighter jets, attack helicopters, tanks and a growing arsenal of drones in its civil war fight."

"Many of its adversaries were once protesters who brandished little but laminated signs with anti-coup messages; some had slingshots."

"After years of revolt, the military faced a sprawling resistance unlike any in its history, merging decades-old struggles for an autonomous identity with a mass push for democracy."

Myanmar's civil war, now in its sixth year, involves a military regime, ethnic armed groups, and pro-democracy forces. The conflict began when Senior General Min Aung Hlaing ousted an elected government in 2021, reversing a decade of democratic progress. The military, supported by arms from China and Russia, employs advanced weaponry against a diverse resistance. Many former peaceful protesters have turned to armed struggle, seeking training from ethnic rebels, merging long-standing autonomy demands with a push for democracy.
