Anti-coup fighters escort protesters as they take part in a demonstration against the military coup in Sagaing, in the Sagaing Division of Myanmar on September 7, 2022. In Myanmar's northwest Sagaing region, dozens of local "People’s Defence Forces" are fighting the military and attempting to overturn the coup it carried out last year. Armed with little more than homemade weapons and knowledge of the local terrain, some of these groups have surprised the military with their effectiveness, analysts say.
