Description:

Against the backdrop of widespread violence, instability, and suffering since the 2021 coup in Myanmar, it is crucial to understand how people within the country actually perceive actors involved in Myanmar’s conflict. 

As the situation on the ground evolves, how do local people view Myanmar’s resistance movement, and what expectations do they have for resistance actors? Are new regional governance structures in resistance stronghold areas likely to address local challenges and foster greater unity among resistance actors? 

Join experts Tay Zar Myo Win and Tint Zaw Hein for a moderated discussion providing fresh insights from studies conducted on the ground.
