Myanmar Military Pledges Decisive Action Against Its Opponents

 

BBC: Myanmar army chief vows to crush resistance in rare speech

A civil war has engulfed the country since a military coup in 2021. 

The conflict has killed tens of thousands of people, and more than a million have been displaced. 

But General Min Aung Hlaing, the head of the military government, showed no signs of backing down in a rare speech.
