A Nation in Limbo: Myanmars Protracted Social, Economic and Humanitarian Crisis

Caught in a whirlwind of conflict and uncertainty, Myanmars future hangs on a knife-edge. Min Aung Hlaings military, locked in a deadly tango with ethnic armed groups, struggles to control a nation gripped by displacement, economic misery, and the bitter tang of opium. Border trade stumbles, labour disappears, and inflation bites deep, and spiralling logistics costs leave businesses gasping and households teetering on the brink. This stark reality is further punctuated by the dubious distinction of Myanmar becoming the worlds largest opium producer, a bitter harvest born from desperation and conflict.
