Conflict Data
MCARI records political violence and conflict-related events in Myanmar, event by event, from the day of the 1 February 2021 coup onward. Each event is coded to one of 7 event types and 36 sub-event types under the MCARI Methodology and Codebook, and states when and where it happened, who acted against whom, and how many people were killed, detained or displaced.
Data from 1 February 2021 to 30 September 2026. Data: MCARI Data Release 1, edition MCARI_2021-2026_v1.0.

How this data is built
Every figure here is coded under the MCARI Methodology and Codebook, version 1.1.
Limitations
- A zero means nothing was recorded. It does not mean nothing happened.
- Counts are minimums. Where a source gives no number, a fixed conventional figure is recorded; where it gives a quantity in words, the least those words allow.
- Displacement counts the times people were displaced, as reported in each event — a person displaced three times counts three times. It is not a count of distinct people.
