The Importance of Myanmar extends state of emergency

Myanmar's junta has extended its current state of emergency by six months. This happens four years after they seized power, and it is triggering a civil war that has claimed thousands of lives.

The country is currently mired in a bloody, multi-sided conflict stemming from the Feb. 1, 2021 putsch that ended a 10-year experiment with democracy.

Enjoy the little things in life. For one day, you may look back and realize they were the big things. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
