Junta

The umbrella organization of Myanmar's rebel militias announced it is open to a 'political settlement' and the junta regime is holding contacts with mediating countries. Military gains for regime forces and a new civilian government under the junta's patronage offer a rare window of opportunity for talks.

The former leader of Myanmar met with a Red Cross delegation for the first time since the 2021 military coup. In photos released by the junta, she appears smiling and in good health, after years of uncertainty surrounding her condition.
