What are the internal security challenges faced by Myanmar?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The military regime in Myanmar has failed to establish control over the country .<\/p>\n

Ethnic militias have joined hands with pro-democracy<\/strong> civilians.They have taken up arms against the military since the February 2021 coup.<\/p>\n

The junta\u2019s confrontation with these groups is evident in the Chin state<\/strong>. For nearly a decade, Chin was one of Myanmar\u2019s relatively peaceful border states<\/strong>. Chin National Army<\/strong> is the armed wing of the Chin National Front<\/strong>. It had\u00a0 signed a ceasefire in 2012 with the then military government.<\/p>\n

After the coup, the CNF joined hands with the National Unity Government<\/strong>, the political leaders of the pro-democracy struggle in Myanmar.<\/p>\n

Another ethnic organisation called the Chin National Organisation<\/strong> also came up two months after the coup. It has its own armed wing called the Chin National Defence Organisation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Every township in Chin state has its own people\u2019s militia called the Chin Defence Force<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

CNF-CNA headquarters<\/strong> located right on the Mizoram-Chin border, has been training hundreds of volunteers who have signed up to take on the junta.<\/p>\n

How does it create security challenges for the neighbouring States of Myanmar?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The Chin state lies in the proximity of the Mizoram side. it also directly threatens the stability of the entire Northeast region<\/strong>. Mizoram has given refuge to over 40,000 Chin people. Refugees have crossed over into Manipur, Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh as well.<\/p>\n

Bangladesh has been impacted by the Rohingya influx<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Continuous fighting in Kachin near the Chinese border has security implications for China<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What is the way forward for stability in Myanmar?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The country\u2019s ethnic groups who live along its borders do not trust the military to give them federal autonomy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Peace in Myanmar and along its boundaries will come only with real democracy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
