What is the reason behind Civil war in Myanmar?

Back in the year 2020, the election was going on in Myanmar. The National League Democratic (NLD) party candidate Aung San Suu Kyi won the election. However, the military of the Junta complained about the fraud without any evidence, and the election was cancelled.

In the year 2021, the military detained Aung San Suu Kyi and the other candidate was elected. Now, this caused a state of emergency and took control over the government.

Talking about the current scenario, the local resistance forces like Rakhine State, Chin State, Sangaing State bordering Mizoram and Kayin State are fighting and this is creating disturbance across the country.

Some examiner said that Myanmar is close to defeating the ‘bullying army’, Junta. Once the destruction is over, then the changes will be brought to rebuild the country.

The famous border gate Kyin-San-Kyawt, one of the major trading gates was seized on Saturday due to an intense fight. Although, the ongoing conflict of civil war in Myanmar, the people near the border were taken out and given shelter in a safe place, said the police of China.
