In 2021, Myanmar’s military carried out a coup d’état, overthrowing the civilian government. In the aftermath, communities across the country faced massacres, airstrikes, and deepening poverty amid a collapsing economy. Civilian leaders were detained, including Aung San Suu Kyi, one of the nation’s most prominent political figures.
