The junta launched a second day of air strikes on Wednesday, bombing territory in the northernmost Kachin state controlled by ethnic armed group Kachin Independence Army (KIA), a rebel spokesperson told AFP.
Since Friday, the junta also has been battling an alliance of ethnic rebel groups across the neighbouring north-eastern Shan state.

Myanmar is already bankrupt, the state, let's be honest, a completely Buddhist country, some hidden LGBT aspects and atheism, in this we have a country with some resources without much exports and ports, The worst that can happen will happen due to a state without multipolar agreements.
ReplyDeleteWhere does religion have anything to do with the state? The elite are using religion if anything. They do not believe in it.
ReplyDeleteBurma is a mainly Buddhist country and how did that affect how the junta operated?
"The worst that can happen will happen due to a state without multipolar agreements."
ReplyDelete^^^ That looks like propaganda
There is many videos coming out of this conflict, daily.. Seems like the juntas soldiers likes to get ambushed, a lot.
ReplyDeleteMy question is, who is arming the "alliance of ethnic rebel groups across the neighboring north-eastern Shan state" who is fighting the Myanmar troops?
ReplyDeleteMy guess is the CIA. The CIA has a long track record of bringing death and destruction to nations overseas.
The US is the death-head of the world. War is just death and misery. But too the USA, it is business as usual.
This is a low intensity "war" against partisans, from what I see they don't have any gear to talk about. If someone is helping them it has to be one of the poorest countries out there.
