| Title | Inter-Rebel Conflict and Network Dynamics in Post-Coup Myanmar (2021 - 2025) |
| Summary | Which rebel groups fight among each other in Myanmar’s ongoing civil war? Which regions are most affected by this violence? And how has inter-rebel conflict evolved in the wake of the 2021 military coup? While existing research has largely focused on inter-rebel dynamics during the pre-coup era, this thesis turns to the contemporary landscape, offering a detailed analysis of rebel group interactions in post-coup Myanmar. Drawing on conflict event data from 2021 to 2025, the study traces the shifting alliances, rivalries, and fault lines among armed actors. It maps where inter-rebel violence is most concentrated and identifies which groups are the key players in the conflict. Designed through a visual storytelling approach, the research presents these complex dynamics in an accessible form, combining data-driven insights with network visualization to illuminate the strategic, political, and territorial motivations behind inter-rebel behavior. This study contributes to the broader understanding of insurgent fragmentation, alliance formation, and the evolving nature of Myanmar’s civil war. |
