Bearing all costs, the rebels hv strong united mindset to attain their objectives. They train hard in jungle warfare. Whereas, the junta military are too lax enjoying their relax life and getting well paid and well fed. They only depends on air power, but, can never win in jungle warfare just like the Vietnam war.

"Who would then give the definite assurance that nothing will happen to whatever you own in Mandalay the 2nd largest city?". Once artillery shells started to rain down upon the city, it would be too late to move out of the city in an orderly manner," it said. Fight arhh and more fighting lehh. crying

Women of the MDY-PDF explain their role in Myanmar’s armed resistance. Comprising around 10% of the Mandalay Region-based resistance group’s membership, women rarely go into combat but regularly serve as administrators, trainers, medics, and drone operators. Not far behind front lines on one of Myanmar’s several battlefronts, detachments of women in fatigues remain vigilant and ready to fulfil, on command, the essential duties assigned to them.

Each has a different function, but all share the same fundamental responsibility: providing the aid and support that makes it possible for their comrades to win on the battlefield.

Sandar, one of first recruits to complete basic military training in late 2021, now administrative duties as part of Mandalay People’s Defence Force (MDY-PDF), a group of anti-junta resistance fighters under the command of the publicly mandated National Unity Govt. As armed resistance continues to gain against the military junta, more women are taking up roles within independent resistance units throughout.

This evil military junta wants Myanmar foreign workers to remit money back to their country, so that they hv money to buy more weapons to kill civilians.

Making Sense of the Mess in Myanmar’s Shan State. A more down-to-earth look at situation, reveals a more complex picture. It"s correct the Brotherhood Alliance, brings together Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA), the Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA) & Arakan Army (AA), has taken over large tracts of land northern Shan State, including several towns & highways between them. But bitter reality is the resistance forces are not always entirely welcome in areas they now control. Uniformed men from the TNLA, a Palaung group, patrol Shan-dominated towns like Hsipaw & Kyaukme as well as Kachin-inhabited areas around Namhpakka & Kutkai. The MNDAA, a group made up of ethnic Chinese from Kokang region east of Salween River, seized control of Lashio, a multi-ethnic major city, in August. The AA fights for the interests of Rakhine people, whose homeland is located in western Myanmar and borders Bangladesh.

Tens of thousands of folk have escaped fighting in northern Shan State &, if they have cars, made it to Mandalay as far as the old capital Yangon. Poorer folks have fled on foot or by whatever means available & sought refuge in surrounding forests or in areas bordering Thailand in south, who remain complain about forced conscription of young people & having to pay taxes to their new masters. Many Kachin from north have gone to the Taunggyi area in southern Shan State. But, even there, people are far from safe. 

The Democratic Voice of Burma, an independent news outlet in exile, reported on June 5 “residents villages in Hsihseng, Taunggyi, Hopong & Pinlong townships stated military & ally, the Pa-O National Army (PNA), has forcefully recruiting conscript local youth end of May. Kyauktalonegyi residents [in Taunggyi] were trained, armed, & sent to frontline.” PNA, an ethnic Pa-O rebel group, entered ceasefire agreement with central authorities in April 1991 became what could be best described as auxiliary force to Myanmar army northern Shan State, wealthy residents ethnicity has left Myanmar altogether settled in Thai & other neighboring countries, everyone, rich & poor whatever nationality they belong toin Myanmar’s ethnically most diverse state, been caught in crossfire between warring factions had to endure intense indiscriminate bombardments by Myanmar Air Force.

Myanmar Junta’s ‘Counterattack’ Targets Civilians, Killing 40, Including Children.

Myanmar’s junta has stepped up deadly airstrikes on civilian targets including a school, a bazaar, towns, and an IDP camp, killing at least 40 people including a dozen children in the past six days.

The aerial massacres came after junta boss Min Aung Hlaing’s recent vow to launch counterattacks to retake territory seized by resistance forces.

Resistance groups and rights bodies said the junta was brazenly escalating its campaign of war crimes by targeting civilian populations in retaliation for battlefield and territory losses.

Revolutionary groups also reiterated their demand for the United Nations, European Union (EU) and ASEAN to ban exports of aviation fuel and ammunition to the Myanmar military and take effective action that prevents junta war crimes against civilians.

On Sunday and Monday, junta aircraft targeted residential areas of Lashio, the capital of northern Shan State, which has been seized by the MNDAA, wounding several civilians and destroying houses and vehicles. Jets also destroyed a coal-processing plant in Hseni near Lashio on Tuesday, according to the MNDAA.

The Brotherhood Alliance has seized most of northern Shan State, including around 25 towns and vital trade routes with China, since launching Operation 1027 in October last year. Clashes are ongoing at Taung Hkam village in Nawnghkio Township where the TNLA is trying to seize two remaining junta artillery battalion headquarters.

The AA has seized most of Rakhine State, seizing over 10 towns and townships since November last year and the fighting continues.

Myanmar junta troops still holding hostages as clash near Hpakant continues...Regime soldiers holed up in a besieged hotel have yet to release captive employees, four days into a battle that began over the weekend

An ongoing battle between regime and resistance forces near the jade-mining town of Hpakant showed no signs of ending on Tuesday, raising concerns for the safety of junta hostages and other civilians.

The incident began late Saturday when a column of about 100 regime soldiers entered the village of Hseng Taung, located some three miles south of Hpakant, and took over a local hotel.

From their positions in and around the Lucky Man Hotel, the junta troops began firing on the village, leading to clashes with fighters from the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) and allied groups, according to KIA spokesperson Col. Naw Bu.
