In Yangon, Myanmar, the military junta has made it mandatory for young people to enlist in the military. This move has sparked controversy and resistance from citizens who oppose the ruling regime.
The enforcement of this conscription law comes as Myanmar continues to experience ongoing clashes and unrest. The military government’s decision to enforce compulsory military service has been met with criticism and skepticism from both within the country and the international community.
The junta’s declaration to enforce mandatory military service has raised concerns about the potential impact on the youth of Myanmar. Many fear that this move could lead to the further militarization of the country and result in more human rights violations.
This development has come at a time when Myanmar is already grappling with political instability and violence. The move to impose compulsory military service is seen as a means for the ruling junta to tighten its grip on power and control the younger generation.
The international community has condemned the junta’s decision, with many calling for diplomatic and economic measures to pressure the military government to reverse its stance on mandatory military service for young people. The enforcement of this law has raised alarms about the future of democracy and human rights in Myanmar.
