I am very concerned, because I have friends in southern Myanmar. And I have visited many of the locations I read about here. Is this a full out civil war now? International news seem to ignore this part of the world, but thats not new.

Thanks for keeping me updated!

Basically yes it's a full blow civil war. There's war in the cities between local PDF resistance groups and military. There's war in the borderland hills between old established ethnic guerilla armies who are growing more powerful each day and the junta. There's war in the flatland agricultural country side between local PDF groups and the junta. It's the junta against many many groups all over the country. And the junta are losing.
