It has been more than two years since Myanmar’s military seized control of the country.

The fight between the army and those opposing the coup deepened when ethnic armed groups joined the conflict.

Even as violence escalates, the persecution of Rohingya Muslims has dragged on since 2017, when thousands fled to Bangladesh as they came under attack.

Zaw Min Tun, Myanmar's deputy minister of information, talks to Al Jazeera.
