The Anatomy of Blame: Scapegoating and the Challenge to Myanmar’s Unity

In the complex landscape of Myanmar’s ongoing struggle for democracy, the erosion of trust often stems from a deeply rooted psychological and social phenomenon: scapegoating.

By analyzing how "displaced accountability" weakens alliances among anti-dictatorship forces, the author examines the urgent need for a transition from habitual blaming to a factual, forward-looking dialogue essential for building a unified federal future.

The Opium Peak: 2026 Supply Chain Evolution

Following the sustained collapse of Afghan poppy cultivation and the ongoing domestic displacement caused by the civil war, Myanmar has firmly re-established itself as the world’s primary source of illicit opium.
