Question

Which Southeast Asian country has been home to a number of separatist movements over the last thirty years?

Answer 1

That distinction belongs to Myanmar, a country ruled effectively by a military junta and has suffered decades of mismanagement, economic stagnation, and isolation. The country has several ethnic groups, many of which are generally poor. The current economic situation of the country and one-party state is not helping with the situation. Currently, there is an ongoing insurgency in the country where 12 separate political groups are vying for independence. The internal conflict has become very violent to the point where ethnic populations are desperate to get out of the country and become refugees in neighboring countries.
