    Depressingly this assessment from a month ago looks increasingly accurate.

    In addition to the conflict in the cities, a raid on an Army camp by Karen rebels has seen the Air Force bombing karens, wiht hundreds fleeing to Thailand. This looks like it is going to get messier.

    I'm not sure we're to the point of a Syria-style civil war:

    "Kyaw Zwar Minn, who was last week forced out of the Myanmar embassy at the orders of the junta, was told to leave by Thursday the London house where he has lived with his family since his appointment in 2013 or face prosecution.

    The military regime – which seized power on Feb 1, paving the way for a bloody suppression of all civilian opposition – appears determined to extract revenge on the ambassador for daring to criticise the coup.

    Now he has urged Boris Johnson’s government to intervene and offer protection to him and his family.

    Speaking outside his residence in Hampstead he said: “I say to the British Government help me, help me, help me. I am hoping they will do so over the next few days.”"

    That's interesting, I am interested in the 'junta's' plan to oust this man from his London Embassy... Surely he will be able to stay where he is?

    I wonder if this means civilian control will be restored:
