- In the continued aftermath of Myanmar’s 2021 military coup, pro-democracy rebels continue to fight against government repression, risking their lives to do so.

After Myanmar’s military coup in February 2021, and the brutal suppression of the protests that followed, thousands of pro-democracy activists decided to fight back against the generals. ‘I joined the armed revolution because I believe if you’re a real human being you have to be brave enough to stand up for what you believe in’, says Bamahti Abadi. Like many others, he fled to the remote countryside to join the armed resistance, known collectively as the People’s Defence Force (PDF). ‘With the PDF’s motivation and effort, if they were properly armed I believe that they could be a lot more effective’, says Lt. Kareng Naw Htoi of the Kachin Independence Army (KIA). The PDF receive training, weapons and support from long-established ethnic rebel groups, such as the KIA and the Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA). ‘In the future of our country, I hope to see the end of military dictatorship and a federal democratic nation governed by elected politicians’, says Naw Naw, a resistance fighter.

Mad respect for all who fight for their country, their people , their family and their freedom
You know nothing about this. Myanmar is comprised of dozens of ARMED tribes and each of them fight against themselves or against the central government. Rohingya is one such tribe. The US and EU helped Rohingya and these tribes covertly because it suits their agenda to destabilize the region just like in Korea and Vietnam war.
Suki, although a fair democrat, was too soft against these fledgling tribes. The central government is far from perfect, but IT'S THE BEST HOPE against these violent tribes.
Only if you entertain the idea about having refugees and SA cartels taking control of the US/EU, only then, you can tell me again that you support these tribes.
@@CP-jk3tc Yk nothing, we fight for our freedom, we just want peace. Are you even from Myanmar btw
@@asian0665 If you're really from here don't you know that each of these +50 tribes have been at each other's throat since forever? And if you live or deal business with people around this region for +20 years you should know that the armed tribes are far more animalistic than the central military government.
You know well what will happen if one of these tribes come into power. Do you think forming a temporal ally with them will stop them from lopping your head off tomorrow?
So you just want "peace"? That's why so many young folks got killed because you are too naive and believed in the US/EU pipe-dreams. I've already said this in my previous comment, but I'll say it again - The west simply wants to destabilize the region by inciting the uninformed local populace to die for them, exactly the same tactics they used in Vietnam, Korea Nicaragua, etc. This is nothing new.
PS: You shouldn't ask where I'm from. I could be the long-lost queen of Myanmar or a military officer trying to spin this around for all you need to know. I simply just want people to see the truth from a different side.
@@CP-jk3tc it was a military coup against the democratically elected government which is wrong.
these brave people fight to restore democracy to their nation
@@CP-jk3tc bro my people only fight for peace we aren't like those burmese military dogs, they stole our lands, torture, rape and kill. We just tryna fight for peace. So i don't even know what you're tryna say xd. Have you not seen the burmese soldiers that got captured? they were treated better than dogs
My dad was a protester against the military junta back in the 80s. He watches these kinds of videos today and it makes me sad to see him sigh. Appreciate yall covering this it was really informative.

@@bharatyaswaraj5641 alot of people (mostly tribals) in India who live near the border of Myanmar have families there
@George why to live in two different countries why not all in india or all in Myanmar?
My biggest fear is that even if they achieve their goals, most groups will battle each other for power, there'll be a lot of infighting and the violence might even escalate.
They have started battling eachother and even started killing innocent civillians and family members of the nee government
They formed National Unity Government ( NUG ) and that Democracy Government will make to many groups to one group.
@@Blue_Luciddreamer unfortunately, that RARELY(almost never) happens. There's always groups looking for total control and they'll battle for the top spot.
@@danieln9226 yea it's a valid concern, esp due to the fact that since most of the ethnic states have been at war with the bamar government since independence, corruption is rampant in their armies. The KIA for example, despite being one of the biggest obstacles for the tatmadaw, pretty much grabs every single child off the street they can get to use as meat shields while the big shots just sit back and make money off of jade and opium. My family's business itself got disrupted not only by tatmadaw but also by the KIA. i personally obviously prefer any other group to the tatmadaw but i just hope those groups can get along too. Even now, many people in the kachin state, when i last visited, called this civil war the "lower lands' war"
And let the government continue with ethnic cleansings of minority populations? The people of Myanmar want freedom, democracy, and PEACE--not the death of the Rohingya and Karen. Resistance is necessary when genocide is at happening.
Thank you so much for covering about Myanmar. PDF are the children of civilians, the people of Myanmar. The ethnic armies are very kind to help them with military training to fight back Myanmar military regime (civilians called them 'Myanmar military dogs' as they hate them).
how are u country

Yet they started killing family members of the government and military who had done nothing wrong. They had become the villians which the swore to fight against
@@CrimsonAlchemist idk about any of that. But that stuff does happen sometimes. Especially when a big group of ppl “kill for the right reason”. I feel I could fight against evil without turning evil myself. But when u get hundreds even thousands to tryn do the same, it’ll prolly fail
PDF is also what my divorce file is on.
@@CrimsonAlchemist welcome to war. The Tatmadaw burned more villages than you can count. Payback time.
I was in Myanmar in 2015. It is such a beautiful place. The people and culture is amazing.

these are bots part of a network. they just talk to themselves ignore and report Old Fella, A Grace, and the rest.
Like I said, Myanmar is an absolutely beautiful nation and the people are honest, friendly and helpful.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of innocent people of Myanmar have suffered for way too long through no fault of their own..

Burma would have been much better off without Anglo British Colonialism.
For instance, there's hardly any Muslim, Hindu or Christian there up until Colonialism.
True, it's fair to say that many of these tragedies that nation facing today, such as racial, ethnic and religious conflicts, started with Colonialism. 😔
Speaking of ethnic and religious tragedies Burma facing today, the fact that the world's longest Civil War which is in Myanmar, mainly between Buddhist Burmese and Christian Karen (while Buddhist Karen are largely at peace) was made it possible, prolonged and supported by Anglo Clans of USA, UK & Australia, etc while they are using next-door neighbor Thailand (which has a defense treaty with them) as a base camp since in the 1950.
In my humble opinion, ethnic Karen refugees fleeing the conflict/war in Myanmar are entitled to cross over to Thailand to stay, as well as eligibility to relocate to new places such as USA, Australia.
- The fact that the world's longest Civil War which is in Myanmar, mainly between Buddhist Burmese and Christian Karen (while Buddhist Karen are largely at peace) was made it possible, prolonged and supported by Anglo Clans of USA, UK & Australia, etc while they are using next-door neighbor Thailand (which has a defense treaty with them) as a base camp since in the 1950. True, ethnic Karen refugees fleeing the conflict/war in Myanmar are entitled to cross over to Thailand to stay, as well as eligibility to relocate to new places such as USA, Australia.
- Anglo Clans of USA, UK & Australia, etc are using next-door neighbor Thailand, which has a defense treaty with them, as a base camp since in the 1950s; from which attack against China/PRC was launched by sending Chinese Nationalist (Taiwanese Kuomintang) forces into nearby Burma's eastern border closed to China in the '50s and '60s.
In the '60s and '70s, using Thailand as a base camp, attack against nearby Laos & Cambodia were launched during Indochina war where several millions innocent civilians were killed.
- Colonialism & Colonization are evil things done and benefited by evildoers.. Here in Singapore, a tiny island with 6 million souls lives like sardines in a can, where else in nearby vast bountiful Australia which is ten thousand times 10,000 bigger with a mere 27 million inhabitants.
Similar situation in tiny and packed Japan, which is running out of space and land. Do you know that their living room and bedroom are the same place, and that most Japanese people sleep in their living room.
- Here's the one solution. Why don't Burma's Muslim, Hindu & Christian population, if they wish, move to place like Anglo Colonized vast bountiful Australia/New Zealand in Asia-Pacific region? After all, these are Asia-Pacific lands looted from Native Asians-Pacific people." 😔
Speaking of the coups in Burma and some others around the world today are totally different from the coups which took place over half a century earlier when newly independent nations, including Burma, just came out of centuries-long Colonialism, bitter and poverty-stricken, turned to a new deal of Social-Democratic system (Socialism/Communism).
- Today's coups, in most cases, are changes in the political system only, while the economic system is mostly left intact. Like I said, today's coups, in nations such as South Korea, the Philippines & Thailand, in most cases, are changes in the political sector only, while the economic/investment sectors are mostly left intact.
- So what is this the fact that the West & their Western news media hardly utter a negative word about coups in Asian nations such as South Korea & the Philippines in the past and Thailand today; and yet the West, Western news media and their affiliates hardly have a day goes by without having negative comments & reactions regarding coup in Myanmar.
May I ask why are they treating it so differently with Myanmar and most of all, what are they up to, what is their truth motives behind all these?
- Speaking of USA-led joint annual military exercise in Thailand, which has been under military coup since 2014, and true, last August 2021/22, the largest annual military exercise was held among full participating nations, USA, Thailand, South Korea, Malaysia, Japan, Indonesia & Singapore.
@@dearsirormadam20 "Anglo caused most of the world's problems." - David Cameron, former British Prime Minister
- A new giant $300M U.S Consular compound under construction and to be ready at the end of 2023 in Chiang Mai, Thailand which is likely to be used as a base for, among others, CIA's paramilitary wing (responsible for nearby Myanmar operation) which has stationed in Thailand since the end of WWII.
- From Thailand, Kuomintang was used in the fight against China in the 1950s.
- From Thailand, Hmong tribes were used in the fight against Laos & Vietnam in the 1960s.
- From Thailand, the Karen tribes were used in the fight against Burma from the end of WWII to this day.

@@medanchess7892 As usual, india played two-legs policies. They know they're the weakest among the 3 nukes power that support the junta. When the wind change, india will also change their direction accordingly. Lol. They tried this in Srilangka, Bangladesh and recently in Afghanistan but got smashed by Chinese and Pakistan intel. Lol
The people of Myanmar are deserving of recognition
These young men exhibit incredible courage, the type of courage that can change the world for the better. They have the courage to stand up and fight for freedom, even at risk of everything that they hold dear.
This is something that the spoiled people of the West have forgotten. Most westerners (US and Western Europeans) have completely forgotten what it means to stand and fight for freedom. Most have forgotten the true cost of freedom. And don't give me the crap about the US having been at war for over a decade. That war only touched a very small percentage of Americans such as myself who served or those who had family members in the military. The majority of the US and Western Europe has forgotten that the price of freedom is the blood of heroes. It's time that the West remembered this and found the courage to stand for freedom and self-determination.
Well I mean the military is 1% of the our population and if you served you know its a selfless service. We havent forgot shit because every time its time to fight we do. Its a small group of people at the top who send us to places we dont need to be in for their own interest. I agree with Europe, they have been banking off of US soldiers stationed over there for decades and they constantly fail readiness standards besides a few.
As a Native of Burma I will tell you many have died and fallen here the So Called "Military" have violated and broke many Human Rights

I am from Northeast India Manipur and that's why I knew how innocent common myanmar people are living like. Myanmar armies treated common people like animals. They looted anyone anywhere wherever they want. Most of the people trying to cross LOC to live freely like a human but Indian govt.can't help due to security reasons. Each and every night, hundreds of girls and woman are being raped but there's nothing poor civilians can do. Rape is not even counted as serious crime in the eyes of cruel army chief. Human rights are being violated, life of common people in North korea seems to be much more better. Even Fighter jets are being use against their own people for bombing, last year there was issues regarding bombing in India Myanmar border violating international laws. India govt.warns not to happen it ever again or else ready to pay the price. Myanmar army apologize and ensure not to happen again. But its really hard to see the life of myanmar people.
Now the meitei in manipur are following the junta footpath...such a shame!

Just started dating this chick from Myanmar and I had absolutely no idea this shit was going on. Literally nobody talks about it here in the US. It's so incredibly sad seeing the military killing its own people for no good reason. We're all humans after all, no one should be forced to live through this.
When military started the coup toppled an elected government, they become an oppressor to 'the people' instantly. When they begin killing peaceful, unarmed protesters for wanting their rights back, they forced 'the people' to take up arms in order to regain their freedom. Wish these freedom fighters well and succeed soon in their struggle.🙏🙏Hopefully the resistance group can be more discreet in their training sites to avoid air, ground raid from Tatmadaw in near future.

This hits closer to home because I know some Karen people from a past job. Incredibly hard to see their country go through this.
Same, my hometown has a large community of Chin refugees. I wonder how they feel about all of this.
I did a mission to help the Karen in 2000 with Refugee Relief International. Great people.
The situation here is pretty bad in northern and west east side the military is getting pushed back little by little but ever time the military loses the battle they burned down one village to the ground the cities are getting attacked but not like full on assault. It is like bombing the local government building and military outposts . one military outpost nearby just got blown up. I mean other countries forgot about this war. I can’t even go to school because of this .if i go to online school they will hunt down the students and teachers so yeah my fate isn’t looking too good.

Sometimes we felt like there's noone to help us. Even in the same country, while we are facing the military, others parts of the country don't even care about us and living their lives as it is. All the atrocities are happening just within our region, chin and kachin And once you stepped in nearby mandalay border, there's not even a single mine crater. It's sad to say but many of the ppl thought we will become another country after military was driven out beacuse others just care us on social medias.
I am an American combat veteran of Afghanistan and Africa who has been living in Myanmar for most of the last 10 years.
5:08... it is biased that the army is "targeting civilians in opposition areas". My research finds this to be false. Have "civilians" been killed, yes. The insurgents use the civilians as a shield and a tool of propaganda.
The problem is that the international media looks only to the opposition as a source of information and disregard all information from the government. I can prove insurgent activity in targeted villages.
18:30... This LT is talking what I was thinking when watching. The KIA are warriors, true warriors. I have seen old men in the mountains with swords that I knew better than to F-with. These PDF, include dozens of my former students, unfortunately. They are not cut out to be soldiers. They are children, different than the 18 years olds we enlist in the US. It breaks my heart to see them join the insurgencies. They don't know what they are doing. They have no real leadership. They are idealists who have not suffered enough to learn military discipline. These training programs are inadequate to their goals. It has become a kind of insurgency tourism for the locals to go get "trained".
20:00... I don't buy a single bit of what this guy is saying. They "busted the locks" on a bamboo hut? They stole our gold??? (You left gold behind???)
20:30... "We thought it was local soldiers, as usual". Proof that this was a village supporting the insurgency, occupied by insurgents.
22:10... "They torched a house claiming it was a PDF post". It most likely was.
23:20... Myanmar people are always saying that they want a federal democracy, not knowing the meaning of the term. If you look at what they really want, is a confederacy (an idea that I think would suit them well, culturally). They have a federal system already, it is just a federal dictatorship at the moment. They had democracy, and the first thing they did was to appoint a queen. The army 'fed her enough rope to hang herself', and that's what she did. She tried a power grab that failed, giving the army an excuse to take power again.
24:10... "problems disarming them after the conflict is over". This is why I don't support the NUG/PDF. They are no better than those they seek to destroy. They just want to be the next oppressors. Many have told me, if they win, they will genocide the military families. Then, it will be the same BS of not giving equality to the ethnic minorities. And, the minorities know that, they bide their time hoping circumstances will turn more favorable.
Many of the ethnic groups hate the Bamar, but the reality is, in my perspective, that each group is nothing without the others, but food for China. They don't appreciate that they need each other. They don't appreciate the thannakkha that binds them as a national people.
Impartiality is looking at the perspective of both sides. Overall a good video, but your partiality turns you into propagandist. And Myanmar people are the most brilliant at propaganda that I have ever seen (and I have helped produce propaganda for USA, I know what I'm talking about).

On the first sentence, you said no "civilians in opposition areas are targeted" and yet buring villages "supporting the insurgency, occupied by insurgents." is kinda OK?🤔
Isn't that quite ironic, you defended that no civilians in opposition areas being targeted and also justifying the scorching the unarmed civilians' village just because it was suspected of being PDF post.🤡
By the introduction you have given, "an American veteran" , is that how the Americans do the things?
Like, if some villages are being suspicious of being Taliban's hideouts, you guys burn the whole village or bombard the whole area?
You know that the ones who wrote really long paragraph in social media are more likely to be propagandist, just like you. I assume that US kicked you out and now you are producing propaganda for the JUNTA huh?💩
Seeing your kins make my blood boils as a Burmese civillian.
IF ANY OF YOU WANT TO FACT CHECK ----> Just search /HTAN TA LAN/ which is a town with moderate population that burned down not so long by the JUNTA. That is just one of many burnt town created by the JUNTA.
Fight between the combatant is fine ,but burning , raping and killing (they even cut off the limbs and head and even no mercy for the genitals --- we got that evidences because one soldier recorded those crimes like a achievement and dropped the phone by mistake-- you can search that) are straight up atrocities and violating the every possible humanitarian laws.
And that's why young ppl are converting themself to PDF and resisting the COUP. 💪
@@hbink2310 If you take up arms, you don't get to hide behind the word civilian.
Again, taking only information from one side is biased.
I have seen the videos. That doesn't mean PDF doesn't also murder innocent people. They do.
The US doesn't do these things, because our culture is different. And our military is strong.
Myanmar army is "bad" because the system is broken with corruption. Officers steal the salaries of their troops.
If everyone in the opposition took government jobs and joined the army with vows of ending the corruption; things could have been solved peacefully.
It's not my country. Not my place to take a side. So Iisten to both sides. Both sides are guilty in my opinion.
That is why I criticize individual points made in this video.
You however clearly have a side. Fine, its your country.
If you win, you will let the families of military continue their lives?
Will you refrain from executing those who served?
I see 2 groups infected by the same evil. Only difference is what group has the power. You become what you claim to oppose. Stop pretending to be innocent.
@@VeteranExpat Am I being baised? Hell no.
Remembered the Rohingya case?
The military conveyed themselves as the heros who are saving the country from the evil Isamic outsiders.They acted like they are the only saviour because they think that Aung San Su Kyi isn't pure and patriotic because she married the foreigner.(They even make constitutional law to prevent her from becoming president).
And also there is ANTI ISAMIC MONK who made to the head new of Times , is lobbyist of military.
Just recently they were still bragging about the country is in absolute good shape while it is in complete chaos.
Actually , I am deeply connected with military and I've even met with Min Aung Hlaing.My relatives are also serving not because they want to but because they can't leave. And all of us are rooting for the revolution.
As an insider , I know about military more than you.
You know just sitting on the fence and watching is the worst thing any citizen can do.
Most of the civilians who were killed by the military weren't armed. You wouldn't know when the coup started there were no armed resistance not even protested in the first 3 days .And also when we protested we avoid violence as much as we can. But all of them didn't bore any fruits. Citizens foolishly believed in the military that
they would listen to their voices. Despite that the Junta just greeted with rains of bullets and complete terrors.
And you know the rest.
The thing is you generalize the two forces and put them on equal place is way beyond me.
One is staright up being ultranationlist and facist while the other is just funded and beloved by the people.
What we are doing is not simply a power struggle , it is a revolution.
I don't want to say big word since both side are just killing each other, but their intentions are on the different end of spectrum.They fighting for freedom and restoring the human rights. So if they win and try to execute the opposite side without trial , they will be way off their track. Which is aganist the sore purpose of arming themselves to fight injustice.
( C'mom you Americans like those type of stories aren't you , but you seem like a fake acc . Even if you are real you must be conservative )
regardless of anything, the natural scenery in that country is very beautiful and enchanting
Myanmar is a beautiful country ,hope they will get peaceful soon. So sad people getting into a civil war. I have a dream for a long time for visiting Myanmar,but now is scared.
Power to the people! Down with authoritarianism!
I hope I would have the same courage if I were in these people's situation
The world really forgets and neglects about a very big civil war breaking out inside Asia. I'd been deep inside of the revolution and all these records were true. If and only if the civilians of cities put more effort and support to revolution, this won't last too long and less blood stream.
The rebels fighting a losing war .. most of them are underage.. so sad..
Better strike a deal with the govt and salvage whatever peace you can make out of it, this unnecessary fighting in this civil war is destroying an already impoverished country.. even if by miracle the rebels take control , the final outcome is very dark..
Myanmar is paradise for me im Filipino but i have ex girlfriend from Myanmar and we always communicating even military prohibited there signals
Keep up the great documentaries
When injustice become law, resistance becomes duty .#Thomas Jefferson
Hats off to our heroes,PDF !
God Bless our troops
Some people die for their land
Love from Mizoram
No pain no gain
I ask myself, is this a fight for democracy? Or an ethnic conflict??
Both i guess. But this makes it even more dangerous. As bad as the current regime is, no regime at all could be even worse. See Libya.
Perfect primer on a seriously unreported conflict. Why do they get so little support?
We've been there before supporting 'pro democracy' figures in this country. Read what happened.
It will never end ❕
Thank you for sheading light on this unnecessary tragedy

"We're not just facing a crisis in Myanmar; we're facing a crisis that demands the world's attention. The military coup is tearing apart the fabric of our nation, and we urgently need global solidarity and support to restore democracy and protect human rights. Please, let's make our voices heard worldwide.
😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏God please help them support them .
Full support PDF and NUG
From Bangladesh 💜💜💜💜
Oh !! our neighbor brothers !! Thank you so much for supporting us.
Imagine this forces receives Aid like ukraine does they would have make a difference.
Keep on fighting my dear brothers you are almost there ❤️🙏
It’s quite sad how many world events go on and people have no clue, there’s many more wars like this in Africa in the west of china and in South America, but even here in the USA the country of the free they don’t tell us any of this going on
We aren’t free in the US
Usa has cartels in south.
Appreciate your reporting on this.
🗿💀 how about N.O
if you don't fight in what you believe, it would be very hard to bring freedom and true justice. keep fighting, day and night until the military's juntas fall off from their addictive power.
Lets GO my young fellows of Myanmar... FIGHT !!! ... FIGHT for your freedom !!! ASEAN behind you !!! USE ALL your RESOURCES !!! FIGHT !!!
Spent some time with KA and brothers from KNDF during my trip, i must admit it they are some of toughest soidlers who have been fighting the junta
the sad reality is the PDF are badly outmatched in weaponry both aerial and ground, imposing no-fly zone from UN intervention is badly needed. but this is UN we'r talking about
Excellent well-crafted video! Free Burma from the junta!!!
These guys are real hero fighting goin on frontline for years not like U.S soldier
whatchu mean? US soldiers been fighting in Iraq in Afghanistan for almost 2 decades.
Burmese rebels can’t go back to their families and no contact unless you wanna risk the family to be arrested. This civil war been goin on more than 50years longest on goin war.
Great documentary...
One question. Why are the Red shoulder patches written in English?
All the best for the KPDF!!! Outrageous behaviour by one of the world's worst regimes. I wish the freedom fighters of Myanmar lots of success in their fight for freedom in their home country. This war isn't as well known as the one in Ukraine but just as important imo
No its not. Myanmar is not as important as Ukraine, if it was, the US would be more present there. Hopefully democracy prevails in Myanmar though, the people there deserve to live a peaceful life.
@@alexbaldmon4636 To the people of Myanmar it is just as important. Besides when was the last time you heard anything about Myanmar on the news?
I’m from the Caribbean island,Jamaica. I would like to help find against the evil army who killing innocent civilians.
They tried non violence, does not work. Now they're compelled to take up arms. May God be with you ❤
Stay free and keep up the fight. ✌️🤘🇦🇺
And the world is sending billions to Ukraine, but not a penny for the real freedom fighters in Burma.
i would like to say everyday about that and i feeling very sad, we are also human, what difference with Ukraine? ...WORLD WIDE interest and helped for Ukarine ............not interested about Myanmar civilians, Myanmar Dictator conflict war has been before Ukarine Russia's war
freedom fighters more like commies and leftists glory to the junta
@cm-qt9ir At least we just request r2p for Dictator's non humanity war crime............and we just want to try for ICC will control for Dictator's war crime!.................anyway western not interested for help for solving something ways......for example , donate weapons for revolution forces PDF or donate supplies for war disaster civilians ......so many things they can do if they want but they do nothing at least war disaster civilians by humanity.....................(my eng is not good in political words sorry Sir.) my words are not bias for Ukrine - Myanmar, its only compare for humanity
@c m The US has sought alliance with Myanmar at least twice that I am aware of, under Eisenhower and Nixon. You can look for the documentaries yourself, the research will reward you more than me wasting my time to find the links for you.
US diplomacy in Myanmar is complete failure. Mao's policy to destabilize Myanmar has been adhered to by every CCP Chairman since.
Myanmar people (culture) will never allow US to gain any leverage of value, thus US investment would have no offset gain.
I really appreciate how you care about this issue!!!!!
Variant efforts, I wish them good fortune, for they fight for a worthy and just cause. we all know in those dense jungle, anything can happen, victory goes to the one with bravery and tenacity, it's not about who got the bigger gun.
We need to protect Ukraine Myanmar and Taiwan.
All the countries that are under threat like this. But Myanmar it seems beautiful the ppl seem so kind. I wish to meet one
i don't know why you think the war in myanmar is important & whatever happens to myanmar will not affect the stability of the world, different from the war in ukraine, we should focus more on ukraine
I support Myanmar 🇲🇲 from korea
Defeat the Junta!
Thank you for bringing this news
The sad think about different insurgents hvng common enemy is once the enemy is gone then back stabbing will occur. ..
In Burma northeast Indian insurgents are also currently trying to form power in Burma/Myanmar by allying with pdf or supporting them by in reality they hve no more place in India and need Myanmar for their base....it means they are fleeing from Indian army.....so once the junta is overthrown it'll be alot of hell if they didn't figure something out.....i know this coz i live in North East india
Myanmar need democracy country.i appreciate to freedom fighter for there rights with Myanmar army
Now I know for what PDF stands for
And Sudan takes the spotlight now?
Salute to Chin forces for fighter against the Tatmadaw to bring democracy in the Region.. God Bless U all... ❤ from 🇮🇳
There is no end to this …. So sad
May KDF and PDF win the war from the brutal force and bad person on military. Be strong and keep fighting, someday there will be glory for your guys .
