Myanmar: Hundreds of civil war victims treated as chaos erupts over Thai border

Myanmar’s civil war has driven thousands of people into Thailand in recent days, as fighting along the countries’ border intensifies.
For months, Myanmar’s military government has been losing ground in its borderlands after a series of successful offensives by pro-democracy militias and ethnic armed groups.
Sky's Cordelia Lynch visits a clinic in the border town of Mae Sot - a harrowing window into a civil war that has suddenly escalated.

Thanks sky news

[@thanaang1455]

Myanmar people are very nice and hardworking somehow military dictators never let the country out of their grips.

[@blindmown]

True, I felt so welcomed by the Burmese people when I was there. It's so sad to see what the government is doing to their people. They should be deeply ashamed of themselves.

[@johndana8671]

Its true pal!

[@niKYs007]

Thailand needs to help the displaced freedom fighters of Burma

[@hookywookywithmalarkyman704]

[@dimulaidari3714]

Because of there no word"J" ;-)

[@wallenbergphoto]

Such a clickbait title 😂. Its gas been a war at this borger for like 75 years, and thousands of refugees for decades. The only difference is, it's bigger now. As a photographer many years in this area, Ive been witness to border skirmish from 2003-2020 all along the border from mae sot to mae sai... Ehen drug smugglers and rebels run amd foght over the thai border into thailand towards Tatmadaw. Nothing new just a bit bigger. This is no problem at all for the strongest army in ASEAN who ever, Thailand. Ad on, Dr. Cynthia is a teye hero!

[@kawaiikoto8800]

Thailand is far from the strongest lol. They are just as corrupt as Burmese junta. If the fighting spills over, their army will collapse immediately.

[@rozegaming8672]

Remove relationship from India 🇮🇳 war Will ended #reality

[@MK-gn1nz]

Myanmar collapsed since 1988 after failed democracy revolution. Thailand has been benefitting by making illicit business deals with Myanmar Junta. Businesses spanning from scams, human trafficking, drugs, oil & gas etc Myanmar people have since rebuilding the country to become federal democracy

😂😂😂ไทยไม่ได้ผลประโยชน์อะไรเลย มีแต่ปัญหาทั้งยาเสพติดที่เข้ามา ผู้ลี้ภัยสงคราม ที่รัฐบาลไทยต้องเสียเงินดูแลคนพวกนี้ ซึ่งได้มาจากการเก็บภาษีของคนไทย 🎉

[@peniel2527]

It's crazy how local governments are not only turning a blind eye on the golden triangle but are complicit in it.

[@MK-gn1nz]

Wenn man in Deutschland lebt ist das so 😅😅😅😅

[@TheHammerOfTheMeiteis7]

The myanmar war has also spilled across the Indian border. Myanmar is a problematic neighbour. Stability in Myanmar is very important if neighbours want to go about their normal business.

[@fr2ncm9]

Stability at what cost? Systemic torture of civilians?

[@ActiveAussie2024]

The military has to be/should be removed from power in all countries where they are in "government" in SE Asia, including Thailand. The military puppets in Thailand still control everything

[@davidb2206]

Why do the Thais put up with this? There has to be some pay-offs inside Thailand for this to be allowed.

[@ryanarcher8683]

Junta love dude. Of course

[@blindmown]

They're not putting up with it. But sending military forces into Myanmar or starting a war (with either side) is expensive and politically difficult for their new government. They're just hoping for a decisive victory on either side, eventually they'll have to take action but they're hoping they don't have to.

[@jitteller9042]

Thailand is forced to be neutral with this predicament. they’ll have to form an alliance with the ethnic forces just in case they win at the end of the day. They also have to be friendly with the military government just in case they don’t end up losing. And Thailand itself isn’t that powerful when it comes to military terms.

[@forretresss]

Because Thailand is ALSO A MILITARY DICTATORSHIP! Thailand is the country with the most MILITARY COUPS!! People will never have true power. It is only the military and King that has real power 😵‍💫

[@Givemeproofkid]

An other proxy country.

[@wallenbergphoto]

Better word is forgotten. It was a bit of a proxy, not so much anymore. Just forgotten.

[@dimulaidari3714]

China for sure.

[@AhmadIzzatShahmierRosdi-gi1ug]

Who is selling the weapons in this temporary world actually ?

[@EddyKorgo]

Russia, China ofc who else. Sometimes USA

[@mohammedarkahnny2073]

Please do not forget the Rohangya Genocide?💔

[@ttnon4804]

This need to stop US boots please step in and help these people

[@abmong]

NO

[@beenthroughnam3747]

Thats a terrible idea 😂

[@dimulaidari3714]

Too complicated😊

[@ryanarcher8683]

And how did that work out in Vietnam? Remind us again…?

[@fr2ncm9]

The U.S can't solve every crisis. We already have regional crisises that we are not addressing.
