Resistance fighters in Myanmar have been winning battles against the ruling military junta in clashes across the country, leading many to believe that the government could be at risk of collapsing.
But last week the military said it had recaptured Myawaddy town on Myanmar's eastern border with Thailand, sowing doubt over the resistance's gains.

    The people of Myanmar proved time and again that they deserve their Freedom. A democratic county, governed by a legitimately elected government. Love and enormous Respect from Bulgaria!

    resistance fighters is what they are, well done changing it from rebels, even if rebels is not a negative word in itself it sounds more accurate

    UN Special Envoy (Noeleen Heyzer) Report still stands truly to date as:- 1. Public has lost (Complete) Trust in the junta/SAC/National Army; (Envoy's Statement) 2. Junta/SAC is manipulating (with whatsoever means it gets; ("Continuing" commit atrocities, human rights violations etc.) to stay in Power no matter what. (Envoy's Statement) Ref. UN - Mar 2023.

    You know, I’ve seen outrage about the lack of intervention from the West, but looking at the games being played in Ukraine, the Middle East, and the effectively frozen conflict in the Balkans, it’s probably best for Myanmar to find its own freedom without “help”. It’s such a shame that so many people must suffer through violence though :/ I wish that the help came real, sincere, and powerfully
