Myanmar¡¯s military has sharply escalated attacks on civilians since a new administration took office in the war-torn country, a conflict monitor said on Monday, even ?as regional governments ramp up diplomatic engagement.
The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) said the onslaught was a ?result of ?the tactics deployed by Myanmar¡¯s new military chief who took over in late ?March as his predecessor prepared to become the country¡¯s president.
¡°Since the ruling junta in Myanmar reconfigured its military command structure in March, civilians have been subject to the military¡¯s worsening repression and intensified aerial bombing campaign,¡± ACLED said.
