From boycott to celebration: Why Myanmar’s Thingyan is so emotional this year
It has been five years since the military coup in Myanmar, and revellers who had been boycotting public celebrations are starting to return to the streets to mark Thingyan, the Myanmar New Year. It is a poignant celebration that is unfolding not only amid ongoing armed conflict but also a year after the country was struck by a deadly earthquake. CNA’s Myanmar team reports on how some are finding renewed meaning this new year.
