Myanmar’s Deputy Information Minister discusses the military government, anti-coup forces and ongoing ethnic conflict.
More than two years have passed since the Myanmar army took control of the country.
Fighting between the army and opponents of the coup deepened when armed ethnic groups joined the conflict.
Even as violence escalates, the persecution of Rohingya Muslims has dragged on since 2017, when thousands fled to Bangladesh when they came under attack.
Diplomatic efforts are putting pressure on Myanmar’s leadership to allow the Rohingya to return to the country. But can its safety be guaranteed? And will efforts to restore democratic rule progress?
Zaw Min Tun, Myanmar’s deputy information minister, speaks to Al Jazeera.
