<![CDATA[This study aims to explain how the role of the military has increasingly sharpened the internal conflict in Myanmar in 2017-2021 between the military government and ethnic minorities in Myanmar. For this purpose, qualitative research methods, document studies and literature are used. To strengthen the analysis, the concept of bad leaders and the concept of intractable conflict are used. The results of the study show that the Myanmar military is the main actor that prolongs the conflict, or the main factor in creating and maintaining intractable conflict in Myanmar. The strong role and ambition of Min Aung Hlaing as the military leader in leading the coup is to return Myanmar to a military authoritarian state. In conclusion, as long as the Tatmadaw does not relinquish power, and there is no effective international pressure, this conflict is likely to remain in a stalemate phase with a prolonged deadlock]]>
