More than three years since the military coup in Myanmar, fierce opposition to the junta continues in different forms around the country. Almost daily, there are new shifts in conflict and new episodes of junta repression, as well as stories of resistance, survival and hope. This panel event explores key aspects of the revolution in Myanmar, from the borderlands to foreign relations, presenting an up-to-date overview from different perspectives. Each speaker will deliver a short presentation, followed by a 30-minute Q&A.
