Описание: Why is Myanmar at Civil War? | Flashback with Palki Sharma

Myanmar is said to have around 135 ethnic groups, many of them with their own territory and army.

Many military experts consider Myanmar’s internal conflict to be the longest-running civil war in the world.

Why do so many ethnic armies operate in Myanmar? How did the fighting first break out? Palki Sharma tells you on Flashback.
