Myanmar Army

The Myanmar Army, officially known as the Tatmadaw, is the military of Myanmar (formerly Burma). It plays a significant role in the country's political landscape and has a history of military rule. The army is responsible for national defense and has been involved in various internal conflicts, particularly against ethnic armed groups. Following a coup in February 2021, the Tatmadaw took control of the government, leading to widespread protests and international condemnation. The army's actions are often criticized for human rights violations, and it remains a key player in the ongoing political turmoil within Myanmar.
