Indonesia hosts international meeting on Myanmar with UN, junta rivals ahead of Asean Summit on Tuesday (Oct 8)

Myanmar is embroiled in a bloody crisis stemming from a crackdown on pro-democracy protests that followed a 2021 coup by its military, which is battling on multiple fronts to contain a nationwide rebellion by a movement allied with several ethnic minority armies.
