## Resource

This week on Season 2, Episode 2 of What's Happening in Myanmar, the junta grants a New Year amnesty but kept key leaders under surveillance. Airstrikes killed civilians during the holiday, while peace talks were rejected. The opposition and observers of the crisis see these moves by the 'new' government as little more than tactical.
