Karenni soldiers walk next to the body of a soldier belonging to Myanmar’s military
Karenni soldiers walk next to the body of a soldier from Myanmar's military after fierce clashes between the two groups on April 18, 2023, in Kayah (Karenni) State, eastern Myanmar (Burma). Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, has spiralled back into civil war since its armed forces removed the civilian government in February 2021. It ended a brief stretch of democratic rule, the former British colony's first since a coup led by General Ne Win in 1962.
