Myanmar conflict: Your questions answered

We spend some time today looking at the conflict in Myanmar. The UN says more than three million people have been forced from their homes, and the military government has banned conscription-age men to travel out of the country for work.

The former head of BBC Burmese, Soe Win Than, answers audience questions and explains the developments since the military coup in 2021 and the fighting between the military and armed groups.

We speak to a woman who is still inside the country and describes the impact of the fighting on people’s lives.

We also hear from the Burmese in exile who share why they left the country and what’s happened to their families in Myanmar.

Presenter: James Reynolds.
