Impact of the Myanmar crisis on North-East India


By

On February 1, the military (Tatmadaw) took over the reins of power in Myanmar. Civilian leaders such as State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, President Win Myint and other elected representatives were put under detention. Over the past 100 days, Myanmar has witnessed large-scale violence as protests erupted against the military coup. The country is also witnessing renewed violence between ethnic armed groups and the Tatmadaw. The coup has resulted in an economic crisis, resulting in shortages of essential items.
