Since the February 2021 coup, Myanmar’s military has waged a devastating nationwide arson campaign. By early 2026, over 125,000 civilian homes have been burned as part of a strategic "Four Cuts" doctrine to crush resistance, driving widespread displacement and triggering a critical humanitarian crisis across the country.

The transition of power in Myanmar has entered a chilling new chapter. What began as a military force in 2021 has evolved into an automated "Digital Dictatorship." As of 2026, the regime uses the 2025 Cybersecurity Law and hardware tracking to systematically criminalise the very fabric of digital life.
