Although the nation transitioned to politics in 2011, military leaders loosened their hold in response to new elections that saw the opposition party, National League for Democracy, win over 50 % of the vote.
After the the group made more profits in the November2020 votes, the defense disputed the benefits. In February 2021, it took control of the government and arrested social officials.
A civil war broke out as a result of the revolt. Former opposition leaders who were n’t detained created a National Unity Government in exile, launching an armed resistance against the Tatmadaw.
In the crime since the 2021 revolt, an estimated 6, 000 residents have been killed, with tens of thousands detained and more than 2.6 million displaced.  ,
