Self-Destruction: The Country That Bombs Its Own People

The military in Myanmar is carrying out a brutal and indiscriminate campaign of violence against its own people, with airstrikes and burning of villages becoming increasingly frequent. The military's strategy is to punish the civilian population for any perceived support of the opposition, resulting in a humanitarian crisis and widespread displacement. The violence and destruction are escalating, with evidence showing that civilians are being targeted and killed.

The international community is urged to impose stronger sanctions to rein in the attacks and protect civilians.
