Myanmar military may implement conscription amid opposition from young people. Last month, the military announced that it would implement a conscription system for citizens over the age of 18.
The military had originally said that the military would begin in mid-April, but state television reported on the 29th that 184 young people who wanted to join the military had been convened in the capital Naypyidaw. Independent local media has accused the military of forcibly conscripting young people in various parts of the country.
