Myanmar’s conscription drive killing the junta from within

In a shocking turn of events, Major Kyaw Min Thant, a commander for Myanmar's junta, was assassinated by his own bodyguard—a civilian forcibly conscripted just months prior. This incident highlights the severe internal strife within Myanmar's military ranks due to the junta's aggressive conscription policies. The assassination underscores the junta's growing instability and the potential for widespread dissent as more citizens are dragged into the conflict against their will. This internal rebellion could signal a significant shift in the junta's power dynamics and the broader struggle for control in Myanmar.
