8:43Now PlayingMyanmar is in the grip of a civil war, largely forgotten by the outside world, which has left thousands of people dead and displaced more than two million from their homes.
Rebel forces are fighting a bloody campaign against the military regime which seized control of the country in 2021, when army generals overthrew the elected government of Nobel peace prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi.
Mass protests at the crushing of democracy were brutally put down. Many people took up armed resistance to the regime and in October 2023 several rebel groups united to form a single national insurgency.
Recently the rebels have been making big territorial gains. The fighters, among them a group known as the KNDF, are now presenting Myanmar’s military with the biggest threat to its rule since it seized power.
Clive Myrie presents a BBC News at Ten special frontline report by Quentin Sommerville.
