On Feb 1, 2021, the world was shocked as the Myanmar military staged a coup, pushing the country formerly seen as a new poster-boy of democracy back to an Orwellian state.
What has transpired in the ensuing two years has been ghastly. Civilian elected leaders -- among them Nobel peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi -- have been imprisoned, and political opponents executed.
The State Administration Council (SAC), the military junta that has governed Myanmar since the coup, has carried a systematic crackdown against opponents and ethnic groups along the border.
