Myanmar — PDF/Tatmadaw Conflict
Coverage since February 1, 2021 (coup); active conflict since mid-2021
Myanmar's civil conflict pits the Tatmadaw / SAC junta against the People's Defence Force (PDF), the National Unity Government's armed wing, and a broad alliance of ethnic armed organizations (EAOs) including the Arakan Army, KNLA, TNLA, MNDAA, and KIA. Sentinel Review tracks fighting across Sagaing Region, Shan State (north and east), Kayin and Karenni States, Chin State, Rakhine State, and Mandalay Region.
Like Sudan, Myanmar is structurally under-covered. We ingest from PDF/NUG channels, ethnic resistance media, exile press, and a small number of regional monitor accounts. Junta airstrikes on civilian targets are a frequent event type; we record them as factual events with location, casualty figures only where the source states them.
