REUTERS/Athit Perawongmetha//File PhotoMyanmar's ruling junta has lost control over vast tracts of territory, including access to much of its international borders, allowing ethnic armed groups to expand and consolidate regions under their control, two reports assessing the conflict said on Thursday. The street demonstrations, which were met with a brutal crackdown, morphed into an armed resistance movement that has combined with many of Myanmar's ethnic rebel armies to pose the most significant challenge to the military in decades. "The junta has abandoned significant territory and has been forced into a defensive posture in most parts of the country where it remains present." Operation 1027, a coordinated offensive last October led by three ethnic armies, marked a key moment that exposed a weakened military, which ceded swathes of borderlands in Myanmar's north. A series of offensives by ethnic armies since have pushed the junta out of peripheral areas all the way from the country's border with Thailand to coastal tracts along the Bay of Bengal.

REUTERSIndia's Paytm is not in talks to sell a stake in itself, while neither billionaire Gautam Adani nor his namesake power-to-ports group are looking to buy shares in the embattled digital payments firm, the companies said on Wednesday. However, a spokesperson for the Adani Group told Reuters that neither the group nor Adani himself were in any such discussions. Shares of Adani Enterprises the flagship of the Adani Group, were 0.5% higher, reversing earlier losses. Meanwhile, a media report recently said that the more business-to-business oriented Adani group is looking to expand into more consumer-facing businesses. If a deal with Paytm materialises, it would mark the Adani Group's foray into India's burgeoning digital payments market, which includes Google Pay and Walmart backed PhonePe.
