Since the coup in February 2021, Myanmar has been engulfed in political chaos, with mass protests evolving into an uprising against the military regime that has led to a civil war.
The Myanmar military's grip on power has been increasingly challenged by a diverse coalition of ethnic armed groups and civilian-led forces, culminating in major territorial gains.
The Arakan Army (AA) has made significant advances, capturing numerous townships and military outposts in Rakhine state, raising questions about their ultimate political aspirations.
The AA, along with its political counterpart the ULA, claims to be seeking an autonomous region in Rakhine that would provide for both Buddhist and Muslim populations, complicating historical tensions.
