The country had conscription laws that were activated last year as a result of the military losing ground and facing mass defections. Many people on the ground—young men and young women throughout the country—have been forced to make the decision of risking conscription, joining resistance organizations or fleeing. Of the people we spoke to, the vast majority chose to either flee or join resistance organizations, as many young people who grew up under previously democratic conditions couldn't bear to see themselves supporting a military structure like that, which enacted the coup in 2021.
