The Dhaka Times Desk Myanmar's junta government is facing its worst situation since 3 years after coming to power in a military coup. Despite the tension after the seizure of power in 2021, the country's army has never been in such a corner situation. The situation looks like Myanmar's junta is on the brink of defeat!
Military patrol posts, arsenals and several towns have been under the control of rebel groups since the ethnic insurgents launched an offensive in October last year. Hundreds of Myanmar border guards have taken refuge in Bangladesh, many of them injured, in the latest attack by insurgents on the Ghumdhum border. Not only Bangladesh, but also two other neighboring countries, China and India, Myanmar troops have taken shelter before. Such victories emboldened other rebel groups to attack the military.
According to the BBC report, there are at least 135,000 members of 20 ethnic groups in Myanmar's opposition armed groups, 65,000 members of the People's Defense Force under the National Unity Government (NUG), and at least 200,000 members of the Civil Disobedient Movement.
It is believed that the Myanmar military has at least 400,000 soldiers. However, according to the US Institute for Peace, the country has about 150,000 military personnel. Of which combat army members are about 70 thousand.
Myanmar's military has lost control of many parts of the country in the past 3 years since the last military coup. The military is currently facing an armed resistance that has never been seen before in Myanmar's history. Unprecedented surrenders are also seen in the military. Military leaders are also being forced to accept military defeat.
Security analyst Major (retd) Emdadul Islam told a news media that it would be wrong to think that the Myanmar army has weakened. If the Myanmar army had fought the rebels in Sittwe or Nay Pyi Taw or around Yangon, it would have been feared that they would have been weakened. But it is not visible.
He also said that Arakan Army has no connection with Myanmar National Defense. They have links with Kachin Independent Army, Shan, Tang or Wa Army. They are not associated with the National Unity Government.
Rather, currently the Northern Alliance or Friendship Alliance is blessed by China. Here the Myanmar military is again blessed by China. Rather, he thinks it is a well-crafted strategy of China. China and India have huge geopolitical strategic and geopolitical economic interests in Arakan. He thinks that this war is going on because of the attempt to hit each other on it.

How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
