Indian authorities violently cracked down on Myanmar hunger strikers, injuring four of them, at a detention centre in Imphal Town, in India’s Manipur State, on 17 June.

99 Myanmar nationals are being held at the centre. They were convicted of immigration offences but, though all of them have completed their sentences and paid any fines imposed on them, they are still being held. Some are also worried that they will be handed back to the Myanmar junta.

The junta does not have effective control of Myanmar, having lost complete authority over townships covering 86% of the country's territory that are home to 67% of the population

"The military junta does not control enough of the territory of Myanmar to uphold the core duties of the state," the SAC-M, an independent group of international experts set up after the coup to support the return of democracy, said in a briefing paper.

The military's mounting losses and growing dismay among the elite in the capital Naypyidaw has left junta chief Min Aung Hlaing's future in serious doubt, although he has packed senior ranks with officers loyal to him, according to Crisis Group.

Why can't I see the discussion comments in a lemmy thread? in c/[email protected]

SOLVED: My language selection was on "undetermined". This excluded all the posts and users who had selected "english". I was playing around with the settings and DELETED ALL language preferences. That allowed all the posts and comments to appear again.

So I don't seem to have any issues with posts made on lemmy.ca, my local instance. It's elsewhere, like Lemmy.world where I can't see majority of comments. For instance, this post has 40 comments but I only see 5.

Thailand's Pita quits as leader of election-winning party after failed PM bid in c/[email protected]

You're right, it is not. The current Thai constitution was inspired by the military-written constitution in Myanmar that gives the military a lot of say in the government, and we just saw how they used the constitution they wrote to push the will of the people aside and back-room-dealed themselves into the next government.

So Chinese bots are on lemmy too now. You obviously didn't read the article - "Of those aircraft, the ministry said 10 had either crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait, which previously served as an unofficial barrier between the two sides, or entered the southwestern part of Taiwan's air defence identification zone, or ADIZ."

In international relations, militaries have defined and at times unspoken rules of engagement. This was NOT routine flight over mainland China that you are making out to be, but was a clear breach of said protocols. Thus Taiwan sent its fighter jets to observe the Chinese military aircraft.
