Lessons for many 😢.
The military has never seen that serious unity of ethnic groups and GenZ freedom fighters. Their divide and rule practice among different ethnic groups including Bamar no longer works. Now is the time for the Militay's nightmare. One thing : no one in Myanmar can't confirm the fact that Ms. Suu Kyi was moved from prison. Rumor only.
I worked with a young 30 year old man from Miramar. When he was 10 his parents heard there was commotion in the city and they went to see what was going on and he seen soldiers shooting protesters and throwing them in the river. Governments can never bring anything but chaos to the world.
Myanmar janta terrors
Indeed the country is very peaceful,because of lack of unity,now people suffer a lot of struggles
While a good overview of the history of this conflict, the most recent information presented is already outdated. There is one Karen faction which had its own treaty with the military, and administered Myawaddy, where the scam centres and casinos referenced were constructed. This group (KNA) stood back when the primary Karen group (KNU) seized the military bases and took control of Mywaddy away from the junta. The junta responded by bombing the town, including a hospital, causing 3,000 refugees to cross the river into Thailand. They then threatenedThe KNA with bombing the lucrative casinos and grey-market centres, and The KNA once again switched sides. The soldiers who had been sheltering under the bridge were given escort by The KNA to replace The Myanmar Flag at the army base-which The KNU had removed and where The Karen Flag had been raised in its place-and returned captured soldiers to The Tatmadaw junta. The sheltering soldiers were also allowed to return to The Burmese Army. The KNU and PDF were annoyed by this and retreated from Myawaddy, which the junta claims as a victory. The KNU and PDF have said the battle is not over and retreated to a hold a position outside Mywaddy and have just recently taken another area called Hpa Pun. MIlitary officials from the junta meanwhile went to Beijing to try to negotiate support. There have also been resistance force strikes on targets in the central cities, which is the junta's last stronghold. An airforce base in the capital city Naypyidaw, and the primary military academy in Mandalay have both been attacked by rockets and drones. On the western border, Burmese soldiers have been fleeing into Bangladesh, and Bangladesh has just returned them to Myanmar, while The Arakhan forces are manoeuvering to take the capital city of Rakhine State and cut the junta off from even more trade ports. Reinforcement divisions have been pushed back and even wiped out by Karen and Karenni and PDF forces in the eastern states, and now The Pa-oh have formed another malitia resisting the junta, while rumours of a Mon resistance force having come into operation. In Yangon the people are subject to two four-hour power cuts every day, on a set schedule, while in other cities the people don't know when they will happen. These are already disruptive, but with the prolonged heatwave it has become even more of a problem. The Rainy Season will be starting soon and there is speculation how that will affect the war, as floods and thick mud will hamper movement. My guess is that it will be advantageous for the ethnic armed groups, who will be more used to the conditions.
Myanmar is not only a coupe but it's also a ruse for a mining operation. It's not just a coincidence that all the places that got burned and bombed are saturated with precious metals. Trust me I have my own copy of the mining maps and I've been investigating this situation for years 😮😮😮😮

This is true. It's all about a battle of natural resources. Precious gems, precious metals, natural gas, oil, lumber, and lakes and rivers. It's always been about control and power of these items. Also, not to forget trade routes to China and Thailand, along with organized crime doing online scams, drugs and gambling. This is not a cohesive place, the chaos benefits those who have the most power in the region or at the moment.

The Anglos are funding this unrest. Aung San was their gal, her cabinet was with filled with British advisors. Everything changed after the coup, funny thing was that rebels were initially more anti-China than Aung San’s govt but we didn’t have them on our leash so we passed. For China it doesn’t matter who is in charge as long they don’t cause problems. Win win as they always say.
