A dense bamboo forest in rebel-held territory surrounds the training ground in eastern Myanmar where more than 100 young people, mostly in their twenties, are undergoing rigorous military drills.

From former chefs to ex-journalists, rappers and poets, people from all walks of life have joined the resistance movement with a single goal: to overthrow the military regime that seized power in the Southeast Asian nation in 2021. CcThe Bamar People's Liberation Army (BPLA), led by onetime anti-war poet Maung Saungkha, is a prominent force in Myanmar's resistance movement. A trainer, whistle in hand, commands synchronised movements of recruits. Discipline is enforced with harsh blows for any mistake. Under the scorching sun, sweat soaks their bodies, and their skin is marked with bruises from the demanding training.

The trainees' daily routine starts at 4am and ends at 9pm., with Sunday being their only day off. They endure hours of intense training without being allowed a single drop of water during the sessions. Representing Myanmar's Bamar ethnic majority, the BPLA was formed in April 2021 to fight the junta after it toppled an elected government in February of that year. Since October, the group has been a key player in Operation 1027, a joint offensive with other rebel militias that has significantly weakened the military.

Since October, group has been a key player in Operation 1027, a joint offensive w/other rebel militias has significantly weakened the military. Myanmar independence won from Britain in 1948, has dominated by its military. A brief spell of civilian rule ended with the 2021 coup that toppled the govt of Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi.

To joining under BPLA's, trainee home in jungle are makeshift tents, accommodating around 20 to 30 each, sleeping mats are laid out a few inches apart floor. Maintaining a tidy space is essential, so uniforms, toiletries & study books are neatly arranged on their makeshift beds. BPLA's basic training is renowned for harshness & strict discipline, training spans 3-mths, pushing recruits to their physical & mental limits, arrival at training camp, personal belongings, like phones, are confiscated & returned after completion of training, 1-trainee, an 18-yr woman about 1.5m tall, shows wear from gruelling regimen. She has dark circles under her eyes, hair is cut almost to the scalp, her skin is sunburned from long hours spent outdoors exhaustion, she carries a hint of resilience and determination, her possessions in a stuffed toy brought with her. When asked about it, she smiled said: "One of the trainers kept it for me & she will give it back after the training."

LESSONS IN POLITICS. In addition to military training, BPLA recruits undergo political education. morning drills, short break for rest to review recent political lessons, the dinner where everyone gathers bamboo-constructed assembly hall. BPLA flag hangs above whiteboard. Powered by generator, fluorescent lights illuminate room, where political classes take place. Senior officer from BPLA's start principles, govt structure, federalism & even gender equality. His words echo through makeshift hall.

"I know you're exhausted," he told them, "but a soldier's duty transcends fatigue. One night, as lesson progresses, a chilling silence descends upon camp. A junta scout drone has detected presence, the generator shuts down, plunging the camp into darkness. Everyone freezes, waiting for drone to disappear, following morning, the senior Maung Saungkha gathers his officers to reinforce emergency procedures in case of a fighter jet attack if roar of jets is a familiar threat in jungle, but vigilance remains crucial.

Ma Chel, a 25 woman deputy head of recruitment screening for BPLA, recalls her journey - civilian to soldier after completing basic training, she was proud to become an instructor. My trainer told me that if soldier goes to frontline w/ one bullet, there's one bullet fired. But if 100 trainee here are 100 bullets,” Ma Chel said. "This made me feel proud and motivated."

Myanmar's largest rebel group quietly gains strength amid civil war. In shadow of Myanmar's brutal bloody civil war, a rebel army with close ties to China & illicit drug trade is spreading bulking up without a fight, the United Wa State Army, largest & most powerful of Myanmar's many ethnic armed groups, has been moving hundreds of its soldiers into new positions across central part Shan State, in country's east next to China, Laos & Thailand.
Officially, UWSA says it is only trying to contain the fighting been spreading across Shan between the Myanmar military & other rebel groups last year shield its own properties & satellite offices. A spokesman for group did not reply to VOA's request for an interview.

With the junta's control waning, analysts tell VOA group sees a golden opportunity to build already formidable might, its growing footprint is likely both to advance China's interests in Myanmar and give an already booming drug trade a boost. Part of what the UWSA strategy is here is to basically expand its power, influence and territorial control at very low cost," said Jason Tower, Myanmar program director for US Institute of Peace, a U.S.-government funded think tank. The UWSA is by far Myanmar's biggest and best-equipped rebel army with some 30,000 soldiers. Tucked away in the rugged hills of the eastern part of Shan State, it controls two enclaves on the Chinese and Thai borders over an area greater than that of Belgium, running them much like an independent state for the ethnic minority Wa. Secure in its remote strongholds, the UWSA has largely stayed out of the civil war that has followed the military's 2021 coup, even after a trio of ethnic armed groups it allies with joined the fight on the side of those across Myanmar vying to oust the junta.

‘Blood type O. DM me’: Myanmar’s poorest are so desperate they’re turning to social media to sell their kidneys. He had recently been detained and tortured by the country’s military junta for weeks, he said, on suspicion of transporting goods for opposition forces, during which time his wife had been forced to take out loans to support the family. When he was finally released, he had lost his job and the family found themselves penniless and ridden with debt. Desperate, Maung Maung went on Facebook and offered to sell his kidney.

“In that moment, I felt life was so harsh. There is no other way I could survive other than to rob or kill people for money,” he said. “My wife was the same, she didn’t want to stay in this world anymore. But only for the sake of our daughter we stayed. Poverty is so bad in Myanmar that people are offering to sell their kidneys online. Hear one man's story.

‘Blood type O. DM me’: Myanmar’s poorest are so desperate they’re turning to social media to sell their kidneys Updated Fri August 30, 2024


Delivery driver Maung Maung’s wife and young daughter hadn’t eaten in three days, he recalled, when he walked into an internet cafe in his hometown of Mandalay, Myanmar, in late 2022. He recently been detained, tortured by country’s military junta for weeks, he said, on suspicion of transporting goods for opposition forces, during which time his wife had been forced to take out loans to support the family. When he was finally released, he had lost his job and the family found themselves penniless and ridden with debt. Desperate, Maung Maung went on Facebook and offered to sell his kidney.

“In that moment, I felt life was so harsh. There is no other way I could survive other than to rob or kill people for money,” he said. “My wife was the same, she didn’t want to stay in this world anymore. But only for the sake of our daughter we stayed.” Months later in July 2023, Maung Maung, who asked to use a pseudonym for safety reasons, traveled to India for the transplant surgery. A wealthy Chinese-Burmese businessman had bought his kidney for 10 million Burmese kyat ($3,079), nearly twice the annual average urban household income in Myanmar, according to 2019 data from UN affiliated Myanmar Information Management Unit.

Maung Maung is not the only one.
A yr-long CNN investigation revealed desperate people in Myanmar, known as Burma, hawking their organs to wealthy people on Facebook. With help of agents, travel to India, for instance, for transplants — defying laws in both countries, where selling organs is illegal.

CNN found posts offering to sell organs @least 3-Burmese-language Facebook gups & spoke to 2 dozen people involved in organ trade — including sellers, buyers & agents — to piece together the inner workings of an illicit industry fueled by desperation in a country ravaged by civil war.

"Census can be used in compilation of correct and accurate voter lists which is a basic need for successfully holding a free and fair multi-party democratic general election," Min Aung Hlaing said separately in a televised speech on Sunday.

Myanmar junta forces seen encouraging each other to commit rape in online video. The footage was evidently recorded in Shwe Bo village, Gangaw Township, near where another clip was filmed showing military-backed militia members burning two resistance members alive after capturing them last year.

In video clip circulating on pro-junta online propaganda channels since last week, uniformed men who appear to be soldiers or junta-trained militia members can be heard goading one another to rape women in a village in Magway Region’s Gangaw Township.

As the men approach the village in the clip, which is just under four minutes long and recorded on a cell phone, one man says to his companions, “There are girls over there.”“[Expletive] where? Go... There are about 10 girls,” he continues, using crude, sexual slang in Burmese.

The video clip first emerged last Wednesday on a pro-junta Telegram channel, accompanied by text that describes it as showing the junta troops “clearing” the area of local resistance groups with help from junta-trained and armed militias—known as “Pyu Saw Htee”—in northern Gangaw Township, Magway Region.

Twenty years earlier, on Sept. 11, 2001, when Islamic terrorists launched their deadly attacks on New York’s World Trade Center in what would become known as the 9/11 attacks, we all witnessed shocking live video of a jetliner flying into the North Tower, followed soon after by another flying into the South Tower. As the towers exploded in fireballs, with smoke pouring from within, followed by their horrifying collapse, it definitely seemed to all as if the sky was falling—especially for the onlookers in lower Manhattan.

One spring morning in 2021, the sky fell: The (Junta) military was staging another coup. That’s what every citizen felt, they knew nothing would be the same in their lives or for their nation. (Myanmar)
