For months, the junta has been losing ground in Myanmar, as ethnic rebel forces capture town after town. But whether the military government is defeated, or some form of truce is established, Myanmar may no longer be the same. The Ethnic Armed Organisations want control of their conquered regions, while the junta consolidates power in urban areas that they still control. Meanwhile, the NUG, made up of the ousted civilian government, is losing influence.

No group has authority over the whole country. When the dust settles, what emerges could be a federation, divided into smaller fiefdoms and territories. What does this mean for Myanmar and its people?
