A coup may happen again in this neighboring country of India! People of three religions are uniting

New Delhi: Tension may increase between the China-backed military government in India's neighboring country Myanmar. Muslim rebel group Muslim Company has now joined Christian and Buddhist rebel group Karen National Union (KNU) in the ongoing fight against military rule.

The 130 soldiers of the Muslim Company, officially known as the Brigade's 3rd Company in the KNU, are a small part of the thousands fighting against military rule in the country. Muslim Company leader Mohammed Ishar says that the army's oppression has affected all groups, which is why the Muslim Company has decided to join the KNU in this fight.

Myanmar army after the coup

Myanmar's military seized power after a coup in 2021. The army has been bombing civilians, schools and churches on a daily basis to prevent the spread of the insurgency, posing a challenge to the rebels. Thousands of people have died and about 25 lakh people have had to be evacuated.

Popularly elected government formed in Myanmar

It is believed that Myanmar's military government has never faced such a challenge before. Last year, about half to two-thirds of the country was affected by insurgency. At the same time, rebel groups fighting against the Myanmar army on Myanmar's northern border with China are gaining strength.

“Atrocities take place in military government”

Ishar, the Muslim chief executive, hopes embracing diversity in the war-fighting force will help ease cultural and regional tensions that have previously fueled conflict in Myanmar. He said that as long as the army is present, atrocities against Muslims and everyone else will continue.

The history of military rule in Myanmar is very old

Myanmar has long been under military rule. From 1962 to 2011, Myanmar had a dictatorial “military” government. General elections were held in Myanmar in 2010 and a popularly elected government was formed in Myanmar in 2011. But this government also had the influence of the army. Rebel groups say many families have been devastated by Myanmar's military atrocities, which would be a curse not only for Muslims but also for other ethnic minorities and the majority population, and they would stop short of removing it.
