Operation 1027 moves Myanmar civil war closer to a tipping point. The 3-Brotherhood Alliance has rendered junta incapable of achieving its goals.

Feb. 27 marks 4-months since launch of Operation 1027, a game-changing offensive against Myanmar military regime by the Three Brotherhood Alliance of ethnic armies in the north of the country.

The alliance of three ethnic resistance organizations – the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA), the Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA), and the Arakan Army (AA) – had been broadly supportive of the National Unity Government (NUG), the shadow opposition.

But it was not formally allied with the nationwide opposition network, and until late-2023, the three rebel armies fought the Myanmar military only in self-defense.

However, 4-months of Three Brotherhood attacks across north and west of the country have rendered the military junta incapable of achieving its goals as it enters fourth year after its February 2021 coup in a very weak situation.
