Developing common understanding of peace in Myanmar

Background to the conflict

Since independence in 1948, Myanmar has been affected by continuous violent conflicts between at least 20 active ethnic armed organisations. These groups are seeking more autonomy from the central state and large swathes of the country have been affected by uprisings and insurgencies. The continued strong political role of the military and a centralisation of power add to the multiple causes of conflict in Myanmar.
