Myanmar conflict: Your questions answered

We answer audience questions about the conflict in Myanmar.

We spend some time today looking at the conflict in Myanmar. The UN says more than three million people have been forced from their homes, and the military government has banned conscription-age men to travel out of the country for work.

The former head of 麻豆社 Burmese, Soe Win Than, answers audience questions and explains the developments since the military coup in 2021 and the fighting between the military and armed groups.

We speak to a woman who is still inside the country and describes the impact of the fighting on people鈥檚 lives.

We also hear from the Burmese in exile who share why they left the country and what鈥檚 happened to their families in Myanmar.

Presenter: James Reynolds.
