    Karen National Liberation Army is strong since 1949 ❤💪 they’re not rebel army and don’t misunderstand the ethnic group armed forces. They’re revolutionary army and freedom fighters who fought against the communists regime since 1949/1950. The Karen President Saw Ba Oo Gyi created the KNLA because he wants to free his people from the brutal Burma regime.

    Military juntas have low morale. That's why they fall back when their arrow head is broken. They have to rely on air superiority to push, otherwise it won't work. The column is supposed to have around 300 manpower but it's difficult to see the real number since even on the reported paper of military juntas is still exaggerated for corruption .

So Myawaddy never been under KNLA but yes besieged by KNLA and yes , many medias immediately propaganda that KNLA controlled the city , but medias are the worst becoz of this early claimant , Junta immediately used UAV which are just arrived from Russia and also Mig29s to PDF and many pdf soldiers died becoz of UAVs and air strikes , also they immediately knew the locations of pdf when medias revealed a lot of informations.
