A coalition of rebel armed groups known as the Three Brotherhood Alliance has been taking over towns and claiming control of more than 200 military outposts in northern Myanmar, in a push to overthrow a military regime that appears to have lost most of the country's territory. 

Nearly three years after army leaders seized power in a coup, Myanmar's gruelling civil war may have reached a turning point with the attacks, known as Operation 1027, prompting China to step in. 

And as the violence increases, so do human rights abuses: the United Nations reports an increase in alleged war crimes, which include torture, executions and air strikes targeting civilians.

For this episode of Asia Matters, host Paolo Bosonin interviewed the head of the United Nations' Independent Investigative Mechanism for Myanmar, Nicholas Koumjian, and the analyst and former BBC editor Tin Htar Swe.

Join us as we hear from Rob Hollingsworth, a former police officer, who served in Henderson, Nevada, a Las Vegas suburb. On that fateful day, October 17, 2017, Rob's life was forever changed. He was on duty when a distress call sent him and every available officer rushing to a music festival on the Las Vegas Strip, responding to an active shooter.

Rob shares his personal account of the traumatic events that unfolded that day. He delves into the mayhem and the heroic response of himself and his fellow officers in the face of this unfathomable carnage. Beyond the immediate aftermath, Rob also opens up about the lasting effects of the trauma he and his colleagues experienced.

In the wake of these events, Rob made the difficult decision to transfer to a law enforcement agency in Washington State. He cites the challenges posed by politics and the prevailing war on police as factors contributing to his departure. As a Navy veteran, entrepreneur, and co-founder of Plant Your Flag, Rob is now passionate about guiding transitioning police officers. He offers insights on networking, setting ambitious goals, prioritizing mental health, and conquering the challenges of transitioning to civilian life.
