Few Western journalists get into the southeast Asian country, previously known as Burma – but our news crew spent a month undercover deep in the jungle with resistance fighters, medics and volunteers – not far from where the fighting is taking place.
On this Sky News Daily, Kimberley Leonard is joined by Stuart, to share his firsthand account from a place where reports of mass killings, thousands of arrests and human rights abuses, have been widely condemned.
