This is first ever report about Myanmar in along time. This shows that We, the Myanmar people,made traction and gained momentum.
Good luck to you guys. Lots of similarities between military rhetoric in myanmar and rhetoric in military dictatorship in Egypt. Always pretending to be sacred and considering any criticism of them to be treason because after all they are the "military" sworn to "protect" and they use that for personal gains and thwarting democracy while calling any opposition terrorists. Really they are the terrorists.
Yes when videos are made about your situation it means you've made progress so keep at it. I hope one day we do the same and we can begin to see worldwide coverage to confirm our progress. Good luck.
So much respect for everyone there that's trying to get rid of the dictatorship. Good luck to you all. It's very impressive what the Myanmar people have achieved
People only care about Israel-Palestine issues
I have always stayed in touch with the situation in Myanmar, I'm surprised people don't give it that much attention.
I always had faith in your struggle.
Just sad that the rest of the world has ignored it.
Burmese guy and a member of resistance team here:
1. Chin Shwe Haw is not the main trade port. It's just a small town that border China. The biggest trading town with China is Muse which is currently under siege by the coalition forces.
2. The capture of Kawlin is actually the 11th confirmed town since the beginning of Operation1027. More towns are being attacked as we speak.
3. Aung San Suu Kyi and President Win Myint are still under detention and their location unknown. The NUG has acting president on behalf of Win Myint, named Duwa Lashi La who is an ethnic Kachin.
4. People's Defense Forces (PDFs) are more of an umbrella term for resistance forces. There are many prominent groups like KIA, KNU, KNDF, CDF etc that are forming alliance with NUG to fight against the regime.
5. Since the beginning of the revolution, more than 70,000 homes are burnt/ destroyed by regime attacks.
6. Regime forces have killed more than 4000 civilians since 2021.
7. The entire northern Shan state has come under the control of coalition member since Operation 1027 began.
8. Aung San Suu Kyi and U Win Myint has no control of what's happening in Myanmar right now as the junta put them in solidary confinement since 2021.
9. Junta actually offered ASSK to pardon her to house arrest if she speak out against the resistance. She refused to say anything on the revolution. Since then junta have kept her in 10'x10' room with only 1 window.
10. Resistance attacks are happening in every corner of the country. Even in urban cities like Yangon, & Mandalay, where resistance cells frequently assassinate junta officials.
11. One of the objective of Op1027 is to root out online scam centers operated by junta allied militias. Junta have given sanctuary to scammers which angered China. Since 2021, hundreds of thousands of people are trafficked into working for the scammers with most victims being Chinese.
12. There's general agreement that Op1027 is given green light by China. China may seems like supporting junta but actually, China doesn't like Min Aung Hlaing. China even refused to invite Min Aung Hlaing to BRI ceremony in Beijing last month where China invited all heads of states across the world. MAH was omitted.
13. China has repeated pressured junta to act against the scammers which became a national security threat to China. But junta, which actually profited from scammers indirectly, refused to do anything. Hence, China gave approval for Op1027.
14. The MNDAA immediate objective is to take the city of Laukkai which is one of the scam center. The town is currently under siege and run by junta allied Kokang BGF.
One important context: no foreign country has ever supported, given money or arms, to the resistance. The entire resistance movement is based entirely on donations by Myanmar citizens, both worldwide and domestics. We even started with home-made weapons.
mad respect to you, dude
@@astronetstre
You guys are quickly becoming my favorite rebels in history.
I just hope you will continue to find success when this war gets to the hard part: winning the peace.
Will all the various allied groups will be able and willing to coexist without a common enemy and instead unite under a common dream?
Good luck to you guys! May Myanmar taste freedom soon!

Myanmar’s military junta: *Agree to democratic transition.*
The people: *Try to elect someone else*
The junta: “You weren’t supposed to do that!”
The people: “Revolution is the only solution!”
well it is the only sulution since the Junta dont want to leave power
Also the Myanmar people: "My brother in Christ, you agreed to a democratic transition!"
@@DarDarBinks1986”my brother in buddha” would be more accurate
Military governments in Thailand and Myanmar trying to go against their own people
"Freedom is....non negotiable"
One of the most brutal but at the same time one of the most overlooked and forgotten ongoing military conflicts!
Lmao true
A lot of conflicts go unnoticed. Sudan at the moment isn't much talked about.
More like only the west does everything and gets blamed for everything. ASEAN pathetic
From a lot of the combat footage I’ve seen it’s not that much more brutal than any other conflict in SE Asia, I’m sure plenty of horrific stuff hasn’t been recorded though
And it happened at almost around the same time of the Ukraine invasion but probably more deadly.
“Live for nothing, or die for something!”
May the people of Myanmar be free!
I'm so glad Myanmar is getting media attention again.
I hope Myanmar manages to sort things out.
For more, pls read the informative multi-page comments by 'Ms. Gregoria' at, "Myanmar remains in social and economic crisis since military seized power/BBC News" ... It's on RUclips.
My heart and prayers go out to long suffering Myanmar people. 🙏
peace be with you all.
I too hope Myanmar manages to sort things out.. My thoughts and prayers go out to Myanmar people. 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you. Junta is losing its grounds and troops by a lot and still counting. Yes thay can burn down our homes but not our morale.
Long live all people of Myanmar!
🙏🙏🙏
I hope Myanmar can actually manage to set itself up as a stable democratic state and not have the militias turn against each other after the junta is deposed.
This happened in Ethiopia when ethnic militas rose up and deposed the Communist military state known as Derg and installed a socialist ethnic federation that lasted for decades.
@@Tribuneoftheplebs Sadly in Afghanistan the militias comprising the mujahideen immediately turned against each other after the DRA fell. So there is an example of it going wrong too.
There is also a chance that the war will last on basically forever.
I hope it will end up like your example.
@@kampfpanzerleopard346
A claimed militiaman in the comments is saying that China is actually somewhat subtly on the rebels side in this.
In that case I think they can actually win this simple because China won't invade in "favor" of the Military Junta.
@@kjj26ki could totally see them allying with the junta on paper for face reasons and also privately despising them for being petty, minor thugs that let their peanut butter get in chinas chocolate all the god damn time and would be fine to see them go
as long as myanmar doesnt swing *too* western
No one wants a post-junta Myanmar to ever become another Yugoslavia.
I really respect these people fighting hard for Democracy and elections
a lot of people in the west don't know what they have and don't appreciate it
you'd only appreciate it if you lived in a third world authoritarian country
truth tbh. spoiled, sheltered weirdos in the US be crying about "tyranny" when lose a twitter account. meanwhile in the real world...
If we keep importing the third world I can't imagine it'll be long until we find out...
Yeah, it's a shame when I see so many people around me and on the internet call their country " a dictatorship" because they got their account banned on a privately-owned platform as a result of spreading bs and advocating for the discrimination (or worse) of certain groups of people. Bunch of self-entitled whiners.
Europe fought two world wars
The u.s citizenship has more guns and ammo than every military in the world combined and by many multiples
433.9 million legal guns
I’m sure a couple hundred million illegal ones(people make guns in their garage here)
and tens of billions rounds of ammo
i bet they wont mind if the autoritarian country is first world (singapore).
I am from Manipur Northeast state of India bordering Myanmar. Due to the conflict in Myanmar we are facing a communal riot in Manipur right now. please pray for us.
I don't know how I can help. I spoke with my meitei and kuki friends ( I am from India btw ) and have donated for Charities that have been distributed in Manipur by NGOs and local Churches , but I don't think I can be of any serious help. I even tried to talk with my friends with political connections but they say the higher brass is really quiet on this.
The world forgot Myanmar for a long time, but people from Myanmar are never give up every single day. They are against the military coup even though they haven't equal weapons. PDF Army and Other Revolutionary forces are grown up with People's support (note: THEY NEVER RECEIVED INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT DESPITE REPEATED REQUESTS LIKE AS R2P). Now, this is time to fight to end Military Dictator. This will be a new history for Myanmar.
Means a lot that you covered this conflict. Especially given how under represented it is in news during times like this. Please keep your views updated on any future changes.
Over a hundred of junta's outposts were captured few days ago. There were also sign of surrenders and abandoned outposts on the junta's side these days.
The military probably controls less than a third of the land now. And worse the loss of border towns means they lost crucial funding. How long befire they run of money?
It's nice to see you guys cover this. Over the last few weeks I had heard about the gains the democratic and ethnic anti Military Junta forces had made. However this video really helps put into scope that these recent gains are a big deal and hopefully a sign that the momentum of the conflict is turning towards the pro democracy forces.
You guys know nothing about what caused current conflict in the northern Myanmar😂 Pro democracy😂 So funny
An important detail is that the National Unity Government has promised to work towards a federalized state which was a key demand of the ethnic militias.
Let's see what will happen in the future and what our country Myanmar will look like if they win the military government. Everyone knows that only uneducated leaders are organized by the NUG.
So I may be worried about the future of my country. Otherwise, my country would break up into pieces, lol
I am a citizen of Myanmar, but we cannot say military is good this time. If we say, we will be killed by PDF. Each country had its own rules, the military is part of it and government control is not required by law.
This may be one of my favorite videos of yours! Love it when you condense so much history of a place so far away, and shed light into yet another terrible and heartbreaking conflict in the world. I've learned so much about the world I live in thanks to you guys. So thank you, truly
This conflict has been largely ignored by the international community. But I think this cooperation may turn a new page in this conflict. And who knows Myanmar may finally achieve democracy after 50 years of militiary coup.
People only care about isreal and palestine.
No oil, no interest

@@satchua7367unhelpful propagandist comment
@@satchua7367what a stupid argument.
What do you expect someone half a world away to do when they had little economic and diplomatic ties?
They do implement some sanctions but once again... No economic ties means sanctions do nothing.
Send money? Well that's a pure war charity which in uncontrolled and dubious. More so in a Civil war than a war between separate nations.
Invade and stop the conflict? A rather large portion of the west did try to stop a civil war in a country named Afghanistan where for 20 years they remained fairly in charge and did actually make the country prosper in many ways even with the conflict.... After they left it fell apart within a month. So invading countries to prevent or stop civil conflicts is something that just does not work.
Take in refugees? Well certainly you can do some of that but even there is a limit as that delays the resolution of the civil conflict even if it benefits the individuals.
Hence why, in civil conflicts and revolutions which do not leave the borders of the nation a policy of "let history run its course" is implemented ... Because there is nothing someone half the world away can do about it.
Glory to people and democracy
Not a lot of conflicts have pretty clear-cut good and bad sides, but there really aren't many points in favour of the military here
As long as they keep Aung out of it I agree. She is no angel
Back when ASSK was in the government, the military still had significant power. She couldn't stop the genocides even if she wanted to.@@MsJubjubbird
@@TheTimoprimo but she made no effort and said nothing. And the corruption, and the censorship and everything else.
@@MsJubjubbird wasn’t that still just the military
The ethnic element of this seems to run pretty deep. Not much good to say about the Tatmadaw, but be careful calling the other side(s) good before it can be seen how they handle victory. From the outside, it's difficult to know just how much of the Rohingya's treatment and other issues can be chalked up to the military and how much is just endemic to the region.
I'm both glad and sad that you're covering this topic again. Glad that you're giving it the attention it deserves, sad that it's still going on to be covered.
I was there 7 years ago, it's such an amazing place. Can't wait for this to resolve and go back. Best wishes to the population
Man, my heart goes out to the myanmar people. In the few elections they had they voted a democratic leader. The military is afraid and is using jets and soldiers against the common people. We've seen the video of a soldier beating a doctor for trying to help ease the pain of a protester in the streets of myanmar... can't thailand and india help the myanmar ppl fight against the military government? Sanctions won't do the trick, i don't think...
They need tons of training, weapons, tactics. It is probably a nice country but the frigging military ruins it.
India or Thailand won't interfere because it will make the war much worse. For now, China is only supplying weapons to the Myanmar junta but not directly interfering in the war. If India interfered, china will too. And we might end up in a Ukraine like situation. Or worse, North Korea/South Korea like division of Myanmar.
Thailand is a military junta though, but very low key. They have coups every now and then.
Thailand gets cheap oil from Myanmar junta.
India is building a corridor from india to Thailand with collaboration from junta.
So they stay quiet.
@@triadwarfare a junta backed by a monarch
But who will help them is quite complicated here. Sad to see how they are betrayed.
Unbelievable how this conflict gets so little attention from the media! Thanks for this, so informative:)
The Myanma People has stood up! 🇲🇲
2. Myanmar's military coup in February 2021 led to an ongoing armed conflict.
3. The conflict involves the ruling military against the opposition National Unity government and ethnic armed organizations.
4. Recent successes in resistance forces capturing key locations near the China border have boosted morale.
5. The conflict is the world's longest-running armed conflict, rooted in ethnic-based tensions.
6. Myanmar gained independence from the UK in 1948, but a military coup in 1962 ended the brief democratic experience.
7. A transition towards democracy began tentatively in the late 2000s, with Suu Kyi emerging as a prominent pro-democracy leader.
8. Despite winning elections, the military refused to relinquish power, leading to decades of military rule.
9. The military staged a coup on February 1, 2021, arresting Suu Kyi and other leaders, sparking widespread civil resistance.
10. The National Unity government and People's Defense Force emerged as parallel entities resisting the military regime.
11. Ethnic armed organizations have also joined the resistance, leading to a full-scale armed conflict.
12. The conflict has created a humanitarian crisis, with thousands killed and millions displaced.
13. Recent events include the Three Brotherhood Alliance launching Operation 1027 in northern Shan States.
14. The alliance comprises the Arakan Army, Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army, and Ta'ang National Liberation Army.
15. Operation 1027 resulted in the capture of military outposts, bases, transit points, and the town of Chino.
16. China's concerns over the conflict near its border led to a call for an urgent ceasefire.
17. Operation 1027's geographic scope is limited but may impact the wider resistance movement.
18. Various resistance groups, including the National Unity government and ethnic organizations, express support for the operation.
19. Operation 1027 marks a potential turning point in the resistance movement

I first heard of the Civil War in Myanmar from Free Burma Rangers in 2016 and have been Interested in how the conflict will be resolved from then on to this day.
Yeah, I didn't think much about that country or their conflict until Dave Eubanks gave a speech to me and a bunch of my classmates back in 2018. It's amazing how much work him and his family are doing through the Free Burma Rangers.

I’m genuinely surprised no western military has gotten involved, it’d be huge international brownie points and they’d have a strong ally in SEA
I have a feeling that won't really happen until things start spilling over in a big way to either India or Thailand; and that itself is unlikely given the internal conflicts in both those countries right now combined with their remarkable ability to shield themselves from the drama of their neighbours.
It's to not agitate China further and create a proxy war. Myanmar's military coup is supported by the Chinese, however they have also chosen not to get involved
The Lady defended the militarys genocide of Rakhine people and lost almost all Western support in the process
It's in China's neighborhood. However, they've been leaning hard on neighboring Bangladesh for the upcoming elections. Make of that what you will.
China already has its hands on the area, they support the military government which then turns a blind eye to them also supporting Burmese separatist groups on the border with India. There would be significant pushback from them at the least with western intervention on their borders.
thank for your show. support from yangon, Myanmar. #what happening in Myanmar.
You got new subscriber here. Thanks for your report.
May peace and harmony reign in Burma as soon as possible. A truly blessed and beautiful land that deserves its people to enjoy joyful lives.
It saddens me to see the lack of news coverage about this conflict.
Very instructive, thank you!
Thank TLDR News Global as the Myanmar Canadian.
The story began in the colonial era, when the British pitted the populations against each other, in a politics of division and rule. Just like Hutu and Tutsi in Rwanda and Muslims and Hindus in India.
And during World War II, the Burmese fought with the Japanese and the hill tribes with the British.
Another way to look at it is that we, the so-called ethnic groups, are not all ethnic groups. Instead, we are nations annexed by Burmese mainstream political unit through lies, oppression and Burmanization. We have distinct history, culture, language, political organizations, and every way of life someone can think of. The real divide and rule was launched by Burma. Burmanization has three levels: myth-based, territory-based, and class-based. I can tell about it all day long. We could not even promote our mother language during my childhood. To those who think state, governments and law are neutral do not know our lives. In summary, another narrative is that we are, from the beginning, trying to decolonize although many groups now have other purposes. Besides, one should not confuse this with 19th Century Europe-centered nationalism style and we can go back to thousands of years. Perspectives are diverse as we literally have hundreds of factions in resistance too.
It's very impressive, I think, how fast the resistance against the Tatmadaw was able to militarize and unify. Usually when there are as many factions as there are in the NUG there is a massive amount of infighting between them, but (from what I've read) there's almost none of that.
Thank you for the news 😢.
Great Reporting on Myanmar (Burma)❤️
Now it is too early here to say, but as a Burmese myself, it is still worth concerning to speak for.
1. Forces aligned with the Unity Government that operates in secret have been injected with new energy thanked for the attack by the Brotherhood Alliance.
2. However, China has a lot of control in Myanmar, and they play both sides. This is what made Chinese policies different than their policies on Korea, Japan and Southeast Asia. This attack could not be done without Chinese approval.
3. But at the same time, China also reminds who is the boss in Myanmar. They quickly remind the Tatmadaw that, if they wish to keep the business, they must listen to China. Around the same time, China is cautiously warning the ethnic forces not to advance further if China doesn't approve.
4. China sells a lot of modern weapons for the Tatmadaw terrorists. This includes jets and other forms of modern weapons and using them as a deterrent. They have refused to communicate honestly with our NUG since they prioritise only themselves.
So our risk is, we have no idea how the ongoing operation will last, nor even we have any idea about how China will move. The risk, however, is high. If we can't take the advantage properly, we can backfire. At the same time, if we upset the Chinese, they can use economic coercion or even military might on display.
My dude, 1027 is the CHINA 🇨🇳 way of saying we have to stop junta. What makes you think current China is happy with disturbance for 3 years? Look at the “AA TLNA & Wa Army” THEY ARE OBJECTIVELY CHINESE BACK FORCES! China is and continues be backing up the 1027.
dont be stupid, 果敢军 says to eliminate those Junta backed scam group is the reason why China support them. Or you think where did 果敢军 find those equipment? It is nothing about democracy. and 果敢军 is not a democracy group at all.
Good luck.

The Institute of International Strategic Studies has a project on Myanmar, mapping the conflict in a similar way as ISW does the UA and Israel conflicts.
They give updates once every month about.
I respect the people's resilience fighting for their freedom from a military coup.
I remember this military government calling Aung Sung Su Kyi's government a 'democratic dictatorship ' like what does that even mean ?
It means People elected the government but people & democratic institution have no power and sidelined
Government have no accountability
A lot of people, and not just such Juntas, but even self-styled proponents of democracies, think that a democratic system is not democratic enough if their side doesn’t win the elections. They use all different terms to reduce the credibility of democratically elected governments. Democratic dictatorship is one, elected autocracy is another. In the minds of such people, a democracy is not democratic enough unless their side wins.

When the war is finally over and the military govt is overthrown, myanmar might never be the same again. Myanmar might be no more and several countries will be established. It might be balkanized and it will be the yugoslavia of asia.
Is that a good or a bad thing?
doesnt have to be, reginal autonomy could simply mean , local leaders and freedom of and from religion or local autonomy within the country.
nah this isnt anime.
you dont really understand the situation. In fact thinking myanmar can continue in its current state is fantasy@@rizkyadiyanto7922
Warlords will be the ones ruling each part of the country.
Junta is pronounced "hoon-tah" as it originates from Spanish. It can also be pronounced "Juhn-tah". I've never heard it pronounced the way you pronounced it with a Y.
Please do one on Cameroon
Can you make a video talking about venezuelan-guyanese border controversy
I don't know why you think 'junta' is pronounced 'yunta'. It's not a German word.
I was looking for this comment
Finally the word "Myanmar" was pronounced correctly - the previous way of pronouncing it as Mai-ann-mar is just weird.
Bri'ish moment
Are fucking caring about the pronunciation most of the time?
Not entirely correct. it's pronounced with a glide so it's 2 syllables "Myan-Mar" as opposed to 3, "Mee-Yan-Mar", as said in this video, but yes it is closer to the correct pronunciation than "Mai-An-Mar" is.
Finally, someone remembered Aung Sam Suu Kyi? I thought western countries have already condemned her because of the incidents around Rohingya people.
How do native Myammar people think of her? I'd like to have an answer from native Myammar people.
Burmese here (ethnic Karen actually) Aung San Suu Kyi still popular, and we understood the careful political maneuvering she had to do to maintain the democracy at the time.
When she was younger she was put under house arrest for 15 years, but being State counsellor at the time of the Rohingya genocide she could not afford to risk the entire country's future by giving the Tatmadaw an excuse to arrest her again, which would halt the nation's journey to democracy.
Well, after the coup, the international started supporting NUG, her, and movement that’s happening rgt now. Also did u know that UN Myanmar representative is an NUG member ? The junta doesn’t even have a seat in the UN. Also the international sanctioned the junta members and their companies. Most Myanmar ppl do support her. I would say more than 80%-90%+ has her approval. Some are siding with Junta for their own benefits and safety. Some were even paid to protest for the military.
Some who support the Junta has connection and tides with them. They could also be families of the soldiers. Some are brainwashed and paid to be loyal.
It's wild just how many different factions are united to fight the government. It's like a 20 way war against the miltary
It shows who is right

There are over 100 armed organizations in myanmar. While some are proxies of Myanmar's military juntas, many are proxies of China. China has been interfering the event since from the start.
Only if all the other ethnic armies were truly united. Armies like WA state army, south shan army and north Shan army are still not fighting, staying neutral. Some minor shooting here and there near their own territories, but nothing major. These 3 have a combination of 43k to 53k soldiers.

Myanmar( Burma) has started civil war in 1948 after Independent gained from British because majority of Barma ethnic group failed to establish Federal system in the country. All ethnic groups in Myanmar were demanding their rights self determination since Independence.
Rambo must have finally arrived.
Myanmar was one of the MOST developing countries in asia (as stated by the UN). Suddenly this dude pulled up and decided to destroy the economy. Basic necessities are unable to be met.
The fact that ASSK won't speak to Resistance to stop makes me admire her more. Her Father was a National Hero gone too soon. Her determination to see Myanmar transition to a True Democratic state is admirable 🤍❤️
I hope Myanmar can be a free and democratic nation one day
Thank you, thank you, thank you! For covering this! Stuff about Myanmar are hard to find because it doesn't involves a major power (and they didn't semm to care), the war in Ukraine, and more recently the war between Palestine and Israel completely overshadows what is happening in Myanmar.
very good video. great pacing. loved it.
no useless information was given (except the "daughter of the "father of the nation"" part. i didnt understand that because of missing further context. it also wasnt relevant at any other point.)
The "daughter of the father of the nation" part is quite important as the initial interest and faith in Aung San Su Kyi was because she is the daughter of Myanmar's beloved General Aung San, who was the martyr striving for Myanmar's independence until his death in 1947.
His most notable accomplishments were being able to get the Pin Long Agreement (an agreement of unity between the ethnicities in Myanmar for independence) and the Aung San-Atlee Agreement (which said that the British Empire would give Myanmar independence only with the united decision from the ethnicities which Aung San showed with the Pin Long Agreement).
Thus, Myanmar people view him as the "father of the nation". Funny how the father of their nation was a General and now the military coup happens, serving as a catalyst for everything wrong going on there in Myanmar.
@@myramoon1617 to the uneducated international viewer it is not. nobody can make that connection you just made, besides people already familiar with the countries history.
so for the purpose of this video mentioning it, didnt make any difference.
Peace to Myanmar ❤… preserve human lives
6:24 I laughed so hard when he said whatever that was hahaha
I think it was TNLA or Ta’ang national liberation army. His pronunciation isn’t that bad. But not sure what u founded funny.
I blame Friendlyjordies for causing this, dude probably got confused and overthrew the wrong leader
Still cracks me up when I come across that video of the fitness instructor shooting an aerobic video while a coup is underway in the background lol. For those who will ask she wasn't aware it was going down btw
It reminds me of last year when CNN did a hard cut from sobering air raid footage in Ukraine to an Applebee’s advertisement. 😂
Definitely makes a funny visual out of a serious situation.
Peace be with Myanmar ❤.
this was not on my radar, other news sites do not seem to report on this much, last news about Myanmar was about the genocide of the refugees from Rohingya, so thanks for the information, please post updates on the situation. Also would be nice to understand how the other countries are reacting, the broader picture, who supports the military, etc.
Unfortunately the media outlets love to run on eyeball clicks which give them revenue. It's why they report so much on Palestine now and almost nothing on other wars like Sudan, Yemen, Myanmar etc
Even The Rohingya Crisis was just a narrow part of what has been going on. Everyone in The West has heard of The Royhingya but not about The Karens, Kachin, and Karenni who have been facing atrocities meted out by The Burmese military for decades, and The Karen Revolution is a war that has been going on for over 70 years. The reason The Rohingya were deemed newsworthy in The West is because where they are makes a good site for a port in The Indian Ocean which can be connected to a road directly to China thus saving considerable time in China's shipping. The West doesn't want that, so The Tatmadaw's attacks on The Rohingya in order to get that land was made well known.
yeah I didn't know about hose, that is why it is important to get more news about it, I want to understand, the whole geo political region. @@WaterShowsProd
You can’t convince me that China doesn’t have a hand in Op1027 lol.
Many recent videos of resistance training and equipment are extremely reminiscent of PLA ones, suggesting outside help.

China backs the junta, not the rebels.
Although there are a lot facts left to add in this video, we, Myanmar citizens, thank you in advance. The longest and forgotten war that we are facing everyday isn't something proud to share others but I am really proud of our people's resilient to fight back for our freedom.
damn...this has to be on the news.
Neighbouring Thailand is prospering, (23rd in GDP per capita (PPP) for a country of 70m in population is impressive). While this Myanmar which have the same ingredients to create a similar economy to Thailand is languishing in poverty
Why Thailand should give a sh+*'t bruh? They aren't lover. don't need to comment the obvious
Bruh we have our junta to deal with too. And they are actually competent enough to study Myanmar. Our latest election was a clownfest too. Fuck the Senate.
This is a fight for democracy between good and evil. Do please remember us in your prayers, the world. 🙏🏻
I'm not pro-Tatmadaw but I am an honest believer that democracy won't work in Myanmar.
no, this fight is nothing about democracy. dont be lead by this video to a wrong path.
@@jianyang6281the guy's Burmese, I think he knows about more than either of us Jian
we demand nothing but federal democracy
@@yerlocalpeanutdealer795Democracy can work anywhere my guy.
Civilians have suffered enough in the hands of the Junta...Now a time for democracy.
Just to clarify the pronunciation of some words:
Ne Win -> Nay Win not Knee-Win
Win Myint - >Win-Myint not Win-Me-Int
Arakan -> Ahra-Khaan not Arah-ken
Sagaing -> Sa-Ghine not Sa-ga-Ing
