More than 100,000 Killed in Myanmar Since 2021 Coup, Monitor Says
ACLED says the fighting has spread nationwide and driven 3.7 million people from their homes, making Myanmar Asia’s deadliest active conflict.
- On Wednesday, Armed Conflict Location & Event Data reported that 100,114 people have been killed in Myanmar since the military coup five years ago, marking the conflict as Asia's deadliest active war.
- The military ousted the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi in February 2021, detaining the Nobel Peace Prize laureate and ending Myanmar's decade-long democracy experiment.
- More than 3.7 million people are internally displaced, and ACLED registered more than 1,200 distinct armed groups, calling it "the most fragmented conflict in the world."
- To bolster ranks, the military activated legislation in February 2024 to recruit 50,000 citizens, while the war has filled camps in neighboring Thailand and Bangladesh with refugees.
- Although rebels launched stunning advances in late 2023 bearing down on Mandalay, the tide turned in favor of the military after China threw support behind it and Beijing-backed truces were signed.
