Description
Since the February 2021 coup, a new wave of democracy activists have taken up arms against the Myanmar military, joining hands with ethnic armed organisations, several of which have for decades been struggling for autonomy against the militarised state. Dr South will base his talk on recent travels to the war zones, including a film he co-produced and broadcast on Al Jazeera in April: Myanmar Army on the Ropes (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dh3xDpiwAHQ).
Presenters:
Dr Ashley South will talk about his 30 years working in and on armed conflict in Burma (Myanmar), especially the extraordinary events of the last three years.
