The leader of Myanmar’s army-installed government has declared its military will carry out counterattacks against a powerful alliance of ethnic armed groups
The leader of Myanmar ’s army-installed government said the military will carry out counterattacks against a powerful alliance of ethnic armed groups that has seized towns near the Chinese border in the country’s northeastern and northern regions, state-run media reported Friday. The Global New Light of Myanmar newspaper quoted Senior Gen.
The army takeover was met with nationwide peaceful protests that were quashed with deadly force, causing the formation of an organized armed resistance movement with hundreds of local militia groups called People’s Defense Forces, or PDFs. The PDF movement has joined forces with well-organized, battle-hardened ethnic armed groups that have been fighting Myanmar’s central government for greater autonomy for decades, including the groups in the alliance.
