Aung San Suu Kyi’s Liberty ‘Inextricably Linked to Freedom of Her People’, her Son Kim Aris spoke to The Irrawaddy ahead of his beloved Maymay’s 79th birthday today—as she has spent in isolation since her arrest by junta. June 19, 2024
Myanmar’s Military is Nearing Annihilation on terror by s46 Border With Bangladesh..Arakan Army has captured 10 more junta camps in Rakhine State’s Maungdaw in less than two weeks, killing about 200 junta troops including a strategic commander during battles to capture the township, the ethnic army said. The ethnic army has targeted junta military camps and border guard police positions in the township’s south after seizing northern Maungdaw last mth.
It launched a large-scale attack on Maungdaw town in late May following its capture of Buthidaung town. Both towns are located in northeastern Rakhine State near its border with Bangladesh. The people who live in the area are predominantly Rohingya.
In an announcement on Friday, Arakan Army said it has seized 4 more junta camps this week, including Mawyawaddy tactical command base & Na Khaung To camp on Thurs. During battles, forces killed Colonel Tayzar Htay, strategic commander of Mawyawaddy & 200 junta troops.
Also seized well-known junta camp Ah Lel Than Kyaw located at entry point to township on Wed night after launching an attack on the camp in the afternoon. About 200 junta soldiers and border guard personnel were@camp b4 the attack & many reportedly retreated to other bases.

In first week of this mth, Arakan Army captured 6 junta bases, including Border Guard Police Battalion near Myint Lut village on Maungdaw-Agnumaw Road & the HQ of Border Guard Police Battalion in Inn Din village where Myanmar military soldiers massacred 10 Rohingya people in 2017.
The ethnic army said it will continue attacking junta targets in Maungdaw, Ann and Thandwe townships. Ann is in central Rakhine and Thandwe is in the state’s south. The Arakan Army also said on Friday that it has taken more prisoners of war and continues to search for junta troops who fled instead of surrendering.
At least 28 more defeated junta troops fled across the border to Bangladesh from Maungdaw, Bangladeshi officials said on Thursday. Location of border guard police battalions & Mawyawaddy tactical command base. (Google Maps).
This latest influx came just days after more than 130 Myanmar security personnel and their family members who previously fled fighting were repatriated from Bangladesh last Sun. Arakan Army has taken control of more than half the Rakhine State – 9 of its 17 townships – since launching an offensive against junta positions in the state in November of last year. The army has also taken control of neighboring Paletwa Township in Chin State.
Rakhine is Myanmar’s westernmost state. The 640-kilometer-long state is on the western fringe of Southeast Asia. It faces the Bay of Bengal and is separated from the rest of Myanmar by a range of mountains on its eastern border.
