Myanmar’s Three Brotherhood Alliance extends ceasefire until end of June. 
Myanmar’s 3 Bro comprising National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA), the Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA), & Arakan Army (AA), announced it will extend its unilateral ceasefire for 3rd time, until June. Decision aims to support post-earthquake humanitarian relief efforts across affected regions.
In a statement issued on 2 June, they said ceasefire extension from 2 June to 30 June was necessary to allow more time for ongoing relief activities that region has faced considerable challenges following earthquake,& heavy rains exacerbated damage, causing additional structural collapses delaying relief op. Despite 2 mths of effort, aid teams not able to complete their work.

“More time is needed for the humanitarian efforts,” referencing to continuing need for aid that both need to cease-fires. The 3 Bro-hood Alliance previously declared a month ceasefire in April & May to allow for relief work, but due to the scale of the devastation, a 3rd extension was seen as essential. The ceasefire extension came on heels of a similar move by the junta. On 1 June, junta announced a one-month extension of its own ceasefire, lasting from 1 June to 30 June. Statement junta emphasized need to facilitate post-earthquak
construction to create a conducive environment for upcoming elections.

However, tensions remain high despite ceasefires. On very day after the junta’s ceasefire extension announcement, 1 June, military conducted airstrikes in Singu Township, Mandalay Region. In addition, a school in Thabeikkyin Township was also hit, resulting in the injury of three women and the destruction of the school building and nearby structures, military actions have raised concerns ceasefires may be more symbolic than substantive, as hostilities continue to flare in various regions despite efforts to create temporary ceasefire zones for humanitarian aid.

"We don't have any plan to exchange this inheritance from our ancestors for money or riches," said 24-year-old protest leader Khun Khine Min Naing. "This land is the dignity of our tribe." Since a 2021 coup, Myanmar has been riven by civil war and shattered into a patchwork of loosely governed territories ripe for exploitation by unregulated miners. And neighbouring China is keen to scoop up the minerals and metals Myanmar can supply. The Pradawng -- a little-known subtribe of the Kayan ethnic group -- claim around 3,000 members and a 381-year lineage in Shan state, in Myanmar's east. They say Myanmar firm Four Star Company and a Chinese partner have planned a mega-project mining lead upriver from their village, Thi Kyeik, in Pekon township.

Heavy machinery began to be installed in February, but the tribe say they were not consulted on the scheme and fear it will taint the area with hazardous chemicals.
Locals have blockaded roads to turn back vehicles, and threatened to seize mining equipment, defying possible violent backlash in a country where the right to assemble often depends on the whims of armed guards. "We are only asking for Indigenous rights that we should own," Khun Khine Min Naing told AFP, demanding mine plans are rolled back until the war is over and they can be scrutinised by a civilian govt.

A farming communities began fleeing military airstrikes, as regime forces sought to push back Arakan Army troops advancing into this normally quiet corner of northwestern Ayeyarwady Region.

Sein Myint, who requested the use of a pseudonym to protect his identity, knew it was only a matter of time until bombs began raining down on home he shared with his brother & sister in Pan Taw Gyi, a village on Pathein-Monywa highway about 130 kilometres’ drive north of the region’s capital Pathein. 

W/fighting edging closer, they took the difficult decision to leave. “We tell the situation was getting worse, beginning of April, b4 Thingyan, we went stayed with friend in Hinthada” located about 60km east of Pan Taw Gyi, he said. It turned out to be right decision. Less than week later, village was hit by airstrikes & artillery, burning houses & forcing the residents to flee. “I heard our house wasn’t damaged, haven’t been able to go back see it, so I’m not sure,” Sein Myint told Frontier in late April.

AA offensive into Ayeyarwady followed group’s capture of Gwa Township in late December seizing southernmost part of Rakhine State, AA forces began pushing over foothills of Rakhine Yoma mountain range into delta, thrusting east into Yegyi Township south into Pathein Township. 

The AA has since attacked numerous points along the Pathein-Monywa highway, a 750-kilometre two-lane road that runs north-south between the Rakhine Yoma and the west bank of the Ayeyarwady River. The military has responded by increasing security and restricting traffic flows, as it seeks to retain control of the critically important route, clashes in Ayeyarwady created difficulties for residents who stayed behind, a young man from Si Kwin village in Lemyethna Township told Frontier.

“There’s been fighting on both sides of Pathein-Monywa highway. There hasn’t been any fighting in our village yet, b'cas clashes we can’t go to Lemyethna or Ngathaingchaung [towns] to buy food & essential goods,” “It’s they stocked up abit as war was coming, fighting mainly confined to fringes of Ayeyarwady, its consequences are being felt in region’s urban centres, displaced have sought refuge in Hinthada, a town around 100,000 people on the west bank of the Ayeyarwady River, now many people fled the war, they stay with close friends, relatives or acquaintances, or renting is the more common option, a resident U Soe Thein, who runs small business selling peanut oil said, don’t know when fighting reach our town, cautiously we try to save whatever we can.

A Burmese American woman was eager to bring her siblings over to the U.S. from Myanmar amid a more than 15-year wait for visas. She’d been hoping to reunite with them since the 1990s, during military rule in her home country, so her brother’s family could start a life in the U.S. But a day after she bought the plane tickets, President Donald Trump ordered a travel ban that included Myanmar. The woman, 51, and her husband, who were granted anonymity due to fear of retaliation, had sponsored her brother and sister-in-law to immigrate to the U.S. The siblings were then were hoping to bring their own adult kids, too, so that they wouldn’t have to fulfill mandatory military service in the country’s active civil war.

Rebel forces and strong, tactical and well trained. They even acquired new weapons Stinger surface to air missile, shooting down junta planes.

In eyes of Syria’s new leaders, foreign fighters who battled alongside their rebel to oust Assad dictatorship are loyal allies “who have stuck beside the revolution.”

Even Sao US Trump saying, in ok. Many of these fighters conjure images of terrorist groups like the Islamic State.
Thousands of foreigners flocked to Syria to fight in multi-sided civil war began in 2011 & lasted nearly 14 years. Some joined groups like Islamist faction once led by Syria’s new president, Ahmed al-Shara, they helped to unseat President Bashar al-Assad in last December.

Now, foreign fighters who remain in Syria have become a point of contention as Sao Trump admin takes steps to warm relations with the country. Over the past couple of months, U.S.A. officials have variously suggested expelling them or excluding them from senior positions in the govt and military. 

As Syria’s govt rebuilds its military after the devastating war, it has already begun folding some of these foreigners into the army, according to govt officials, some of the fighters themselves. The defense, foreign & info ministries did not respond to requests for comment on the matter.
Mr. al-Shara’s rebel group, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, has many foreign combatants. He now finds himself in difficult position of trying to balance his loyalties to them with his focus on establishing diplomatic relations with countries that want the fighters either marginalized or gone.
His govt were to sideline the battle-hardened foreigners, that could also create internal challenges for Syria’s fledgling military.

The New York Times interviewed more than a half-dozen foreign fighters from Egypt, Russia and Iraq recently, all said they did not plan to leave Syria. Some have married Syrian women and had children & having opened businesses. They risk arrest or worse if they return to their home countries. Some spoke of seeking Syrian citizenship...good better then in their own country.

Myanmar guerrillas claim rare downing of junta jet.

Myanmar anti-coup guerrillas to shoot down a junta jet on Tuesday, declaring a rare victory over air force that has kept them at bay in a grinding civil war. The military swiftly denied claiming, saying jet plane crashed near central village of Min Taing Pin around midday b'cos of “sudden engine failure” while “practicing flight.” Myanmar first lost a jet plane since ousted the democratic govt in 2021, analysts say air force backed by Russia & China allowed to fend off a myriad of lesser-equipped opposition groups. The People’s Liberation Army (PLA) -- the armed wing of a Myanmar communist group said their fighters downed plane after 4-days of fierce in central Sagaing region, one of the areas worst-hit by the quake. “Our fighters were able to shoot down an attack jet today. A first in the history of PLA,” spokeswoman said.
Zaw Tun, a member of the local anti-coup People’s Defense Force, said they were fighting alongside the PLA when “our joint forces used machine guns and shot it down.” A local administrator from the rebel-held area, Zaw Htet, said two planes were returning from a bombing run when one was hit as both “flew very low on the way back.”

Images on social media, which AFP was not able to verify, showed opposition fighters travelling towards a flaming wreck in an area littered with metal debris including what appeared to be a piece of landing gear. But the junta info team said in a statement its own security forces had seized crash site & “relevant authorities are continuing investigation on cause of the engine failure.”
While junta jets have kept opposition forces largely confined to the Myanmar’s fringes, they have also been accused of striking civilian targets with impunity.
Junta air strike on school in Sagaing region in May killed at least 22 people, including 20 children, said witnesses.

Call for ceasefire.

Having spoken with survivors among the rubble of homes, hospitals and schools, Ms. Bishop said they “wanted fighting to end so they could live in peace,” as armed clashes continue to obstruct the aid reconstruction effort. Although some parties to conflict announced ceasefires, “they have largely not been observed,” she said. Reiterating her call for an end to hostilities she said civilian protection “must be the priority and inclusive and sustainable peace a shared goal.”
Without an end to the violence she said Myanmar would continue on “the path to self-destruction.”

The only path to peace is to bring down the evil military junta, just like Syria. Then the Myanmar people can live without fear and peace. And evil min Ong Lai wil flee just like Assad.
