‘Economic collapse amid escalating conflict’: is Myanmar becoming a failed state? Myanmar air force jets strafed, bombed and shelled villages, schools and rice barns over four nights, killing 19 and displacing up to 30,000 people, according to the Karen National Union, a rebel group in the eastern state bordering Thailand. The military struck after the armed wing of the KNU over-ran one of its bases and killed 10 soldiers, on the day the ruling junta was celebrating Armed Forces Day in the capital Naypyidaw. The minority Karen people are no strangers to violence. They have been fighting the Tatmadaw, or Myanmar military, for most of the past seven decades since the country gained independence from Britain. But the fighting had eased, if not ended, since a 2012 ceasefire, until the air strikes the first in the area for a quarter of a century.
