Half a year since the military ousted a democratically elected government in Myanmar and plunged the Southeast Asian country into chaos, there are few signs that the situation will stabilize any time soon.
A harsh crackdown on anti-coup protesters and others has left over 900 people dead since the Feb. 1 military takeover, according to a rights group monitoring the situation, spawning armed resistance among citizens opposed to military rule.
The deteriorating security environment is such that some observers are warning of the possibility of the country descending into civil war.
