Fighting in Burma between the country's army and a resistance group has intensified. Over 5,000 people have fled the country into Thailand as a result of the fighting.
Heavy fighting reported in Kayah State, near the border with southern Shan State, and in KNU territory.
The Cobra Column announced that 20 Military Council soldiers were killed and 10 were captured alive during the 7-day clashes that took place from March 25th to 31st in Myawaddy Township of Karen State on the Thailand-Myanmar border.
On 1 February 2021, the Burmese army (Tatmadaw) broke off its governmental cohabitation with the National League for Democracy (NLD), incarcerating its leaders, and then plunged the entire country into an atrocious asymmetric war. Two years later, it has still not succeeded in imposing its control over a large part of the territory. Despite their inferiority in arms, the various components of the resistance have defeated it, with the aim of putting an end to a military regime that has made clear its refusal of any democratic transition.
