Myanmar Junta Enacts Forced Conscription of Civilians as Civil War Intensifies
The military junta in Myanmar has commenced the forced conscription of civilian males, extending the draft to individuals up to the age of 65, including those with disabilities. This decision aims to bolster local defenses against the actions of increasingly empowered rebel groups amid the ongoing civil war that has persisted since the junta’s seizure of power in a coup d’état in 2021. Reports received by Radio Free Asia indicate that this recruitment effort is a direct response to the junta’s escalating military setbacks and the consequent need for additional personnel.
