Myanmar shadow government: Fightback just getting started

An alliance of resistance fighters in war-torn Myanmar has scored major victories against the military junta in recent months, capturing towns and army posts in the most successful challenge to the regime since it seized power in a 2021 coup. Zin Mar Aung, the foreign minister of the pro-democracy National Unity Government — the shadow civilian government formed as an alternative to the junta — visited Tokyo late last year to speak with Japanese lawmakers about the state of the conflict. She also sat down with NHK World's Yoshioka Takuma to discuss her aspirations for Myanmar in a post-junta era.
