The United Wa State Army (UWSA) has begun organizing a militia group in Hopang Township, northern Shan State to coordinate with its newly established administration there. This comes after the township was seized by the Brotherhood Alliance early this year and subsequently handed over to the UWSA.

U Nyi Rang, spokesperson of UWSA, confirmed the move. “But, organizing militia groups in different areas in our Wa State is a regular routine. This is happening not only in Hopang, but also in other areas in Wa State,” he said.
