- Thailand is concerned about the situation in Myanmar after the military junta lost control of a strategic city on the Thai border. After days of fighting with resistance forces, the army has withdrawn from the commercial center of Myawaddy. A steady stream of people are trying to flee the country.
It is the latest setback for Myanmar's military regime, which faces growing rebel resistance and a sharp decline in popular support.

Thanks for your support us😊

The US should support the struggle for democracy in Myanmar 🇲🇲

Not the rebels group it’s resistance group fighting to fascist army for our democracy .
JUNTA SUPPORTED BY CHINA...😂
Just dont let your resistance turn into Iran or Russia
I don't see Democracy out of this. Chance is low.
Real life ain't so simple.
Freedom is important for everyone, yes.
"Freedom" ain't meaning the same for everyone.
More importantly, dying for freedom ain't for everyone.

JUNTA BUYS WEAPONS FROM INDIA
Many young people are fighting against the junta to seek for the justice.
I see a lot of people in the comment section( particularly from Myanmar) hate the word "rebels". Rebel is not a bad word in English. It is years of Military Junta's brainwashing education that make you to think that's a bad word. In Star Wars movies, the good guys are called "Rebels" or "Rebel Alliance".
Yeah, being a rebel just means fighting against authority. It isn't an insult, if anything I'd consider it to be a compliment to be a rebel against unjust power.
Rebel is just short for rebellion, which is neither good nor bad. It means a violent uprising against a government. No good nor bad. Now terrorists, which is made up word recently, is what we shouldn’t be using
You need to understand, the ethnic armies see themselves as their national armies, NOT "rebels", any more than the U.S. military is a "rebel army" against the King of England.
they karen people army KNU ,NOT a rebels they fight for freedom KAREN STATE KAREN PEOPLE stop call rebels
They are both rebels and freedom fighters or democracy fighters. Rebels just means that they rebel against something in this case the military junta. Fortunately these freedom fighters are completely winning and that even without support. What a shame nobody helps them.
Thats simply Put the Definition of Rebels. No Matter if their cause is Just or Not
Freedom do not have paycheck or a month salary for them
But on the opposite side Myanmar have to pay their own soldier
Which they cannot afford it.
you're watching DW. What did you expect? They emphasize with their own.. Poor junta, boohoo
Very true
I'm Thai and I feel while wad is bad - I do think this is good for the people. Finally, get some real freedom from the outdated junta's way of thinking.
Thank you for covering Myanmar news.
please help myanmar people🙏🙏🙏
If they don’t get nothing in return I don’t think they’ll help
Go to India China Laos Bangladesh
@@mirrorocean3852 Why?
Nobody is going to help people who believe men are more important than women...
please help rohingya people 🙏🙏🙏
Look at Thai neighboring countries
- Cambodia, Million people fled to Thailand during Khmer Rouge. Once the war end. Many Cambodian workers work in Thai and send money back. nowadays we still donate money and cooperate project to help them escape from low income country BUT they still make a conflict with us all the time.
-Laos, one of the countries that has highest inflation rate in the world. Economy is collapsing for years and industry sectors are suffering from shortage of worker since they come to work in Thai. We still donate and help them as well.
-Myanmar, the country that falling apart and being a failed state. Thai need to prepare for exodus, drug problem, human smuggling and many border problems.
Do you think we, Thai people, happy to see our neighbors being like this? How can we get benefits from this situation?
We want to trade with the country that has stability and strong economy like Malaysia or Vietnam NOT the failed state because the volume of trade would be MUCH higher and there will be less border problems.
So help them to free themselves........Thailand is a great country, with a great army........help them!!!!
Myanmar people are dying, all your thinking is money.
@@umbrellastudio7481 oh yes, you are so on point. So, tell me if you are Thai prime minister how can you tell people that you want to risk soldiers' life for the liberation of ethnic groups? Like "hey people, Myanmar is about to collapse and those ethnic group need help! We will help them establish their new country, but some people's kids have to die for this war". I think no one happy about this.
And pls don't say like we never help them. Present day a lot of injured people are treated for free at hospitals near border and millions of ethnic groups are working and living safe in Thai. Do you ask the same question to India, China and Laos as they are neighboring countries as well?
@@umbrellastudio7481 currently no one help them as much as Thailand.
it's about time to free Burma 🇲🇲 people back to Democratic
They never had democracy before
Support for Myanmars people. I am a Brit living in Thailand, I'll see if I can send some supplies to some of the Burmese people crossing the border.
Thank you for sharing this, DW. Myanmar needs more visibility, and holy heck I hope the Rebels keep it up!
But more than everything, I must say, I hope the Rohingya finally get an official nationality. It must be such a heavy burden to bear, knowing that no single State is there to have your back. Such a situation shouldn't be in our modern age. Absolutely shameful.
OMG you guys really don’t understand and known clearly about Myanmar military coup and why 90% of Myanmar citizens are supporting the armed groups.
Agreed. The experts they interviewed gave good information, but that report in the beginning showed very little understanding of what's been going on.
@David….: were you living under the rock all these years to write such comment?
Excellent reporting by Elaine and Christopher.
Thanksvto DW for airing.
Time for a new regime
Not the rebels…actually ethnic armed groups fighting for freedom
Rebel is not a bad word. Look for it.
Watching from Dhaka Bangladesh 🇧🇩🤝🇹🇭
Love Bangladesh from Thailand
Very good video. Following Myanmar war for a time. Interesting the China point.
Force conscription.
And interesting seeing images of the frontier pass with Thailand. Peoples face decoration and everything seems calm. Compared to others frontiers.
The same Junta who committed genocide against the Rohingya are now conscripting them to fight for them smh
Question. A little off topic: Why do we talk about Chinese projects in Africa as “neo-colonialism” and to Myanmar as just, “mega-projects?”
It's the same in Myanmar - the Chinese are colonizing through the guise of economic and military support.
A Primitive Colonialism,exactly😊
Well, considering how colonialism generally forces and favours a deal with the colonisers, one would think that isn't happening in Myanmar right now.
The differences between Africa and Myanmar, Myanmar is the neighbor country of China. On the other hands, most of Myanmar citizen hate the china . They are trying to make economic or political contact with west and China don't like this. They can't approach Myanmar like the way they approach to the Africa. If the western influence control the Myanmar, that will be the same situation like Ukraine. China need to approach Myanmar like they are not as intended to colonize by economy but as the neighboring friend country who want to help and establish the stability of Myanmar.
Mega project in relation to the extension of China driven Silk Road endeavor. Africa is not really Silk Road linked it s more neo-colonialism at best.
❤ I'm Thai People. Becareful every body.
Yes it is!
this junta has been so violent and repressive!
ศึกนี้อีกยาวไกล😊
No, China actually support Junta that is why the coup started in the first place.
Russia as well.
The Chinese foreign policy is pretty neutral in reality, they didn't interfere in the conflict until it started to interfere in the Chinese themselves. Yes, China didn't wanted this kind of instability next door, in a country were they invested a lot of money in infrastructure projects, but there are things that matters more than that and, recently, China had problems with scammers from Myanmar that were acting in China and the actual government didn't act against them, on the contrary, the rebels could provide China with a answer to this problem.
India is selling weapons to the junta
China gave The Tatmadaw support at the beginning, but they have become displeased with them and when The Shan Army took the border towns in Shan State, China was very grateful because The Shan expelled the scam centres that were based there which had been troubling China. China's goal is to build a highway from Yunnan to an Indian Ocean port, thus reducing shipping time tremendously. If The NUG can provide that then China is happy to support them. The Tatmadaw has not been able to deliver that. Incidentally, that highway would also facilitate trade from other countries going into China as well, so it can be a win for Western exports too, and could also cut costs on their imports.
Yup junta is pro c.c.p
❤❤❤❤
what i am afraid is, with more than 20 factions, even if the Junta falls, the civil war will perhaps still continue among other groups.
Yeah, I can’t imagine it will be peaceful between the ethnic armed groups that all want autonomy
no they have the same goal, that is Democracy
‘Thailand needs to open the border for Myanmar’… well if we did we will be like the UK and US with all sort of problems
Thailand exploitation of Burmese people (never like Myanmar name) is clear.
The tatmadaw loses an important border town near Thailand now!
I know nothin about there conflict I support the people what ever the people want everyone should rally for them for the record I’m american
please pray for myanmar
The world was looking at Myanmar for about 2 months when the junta took over and then everyone forgot 😂
The Thai government mostly cares about their currency (Baht) and the rich king.
The Thai government cares about what all governments care about. Money and power.
@@WildsDreams45 They should be more Buddhist like and care for all people who are Burmese/Thais who need help.
@@4metzgerglong history of being a enemy Burma attacks on Thailand.
Thailand prime minister didn't even care about country currency or king shit they only care about their family business.
@@4metzgerg yeah, but you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Just replace the old dog with a younger one. Don't expect it to learn all the tricks though. It's a dog.
I wonder why Thailand isn't stabilizing the coast line that is near their border. Should be possible to keep the junta out of that area, but avoid annexing it to keep international support.
Thai policy is to allow anyone to enter without weapons. Hence junta troops disarmed themselves and fled the town into Thailand. What's condemnable is allowing those Junta troops to be airlifted by Myanmari aircraft back to the Capital. They'd just rearm and get back into the fight.
There is more than 2,500 km. border between Thailand and Myanmar.
Mainland countries in Southeast Asia are not typically democratic, and they generally resist external intervention. Myanmar and Thai military leaders share a close relationship.
simple, Thai junta side with Myanmar junta
Most of the drugs in Thailand comes from Myanmar. Chinese methlabs are operating in rebel territory, and they sell in and export through Thailand. It's not like Thailand hasn't been trying to guard its borders. Myanmar's military regime isn't the source of problem.
God bless Myanmar. Make Myanmar great Agian 2026
"Rebels" don't attack civilians. wth? Do ur research pls. These "rebels" were once civilians!
Didn't HRW just urge international governments to withdraw support for Thailand's bid for UN Human Rights Council?
Thailand should send in humanitarian supplies to the rebels
They should sent military supplies to the rebels.
They sent supplies a few times already but they cannot act so much in military terms, coz China is also watching.
Junta is pro c.c.p
They already sent to poor Burmese people who are in need.
@@drg598Rebels are pro CCP even more, where do you think they got the drones?
all thailand is worried about is itself as a goverment and the economy but why not condem the myanmar goverment , good luck to the rebels who fight for Myanmar's democracy
What's you suggest for Thailand to do so?
Why don't you go there and help them yourself instead of pointing others what to do?
Thai soldiers are scare of Burmese army how do I know I used to live Thailand for 17 years on the border side
Do you mean they are scared of the freedom fighters or the military junta?
They are not scare. They have a bond relationship with myanmar military, same dictationship.
@@teeradethpetchroon6336just like other countries. They’re always a goverment relationship.
Scared? Who should be scared? You know why Myanmar moved its capital from Yangon to Nayipydaw?
News headline ending in a question mark is usually pure speculation.
Sounds like this report says Thailand prefers the junta. Correct?
It has been an open secret for years now. Remember their recent election where the winning party happens to be anti-junta? They were disqualified for violation of "les majeste" laws and thus giving the current pro-Junta government in power...
As a a Thai, I can say most of Thai people hate the juntas. But the government and military leaders may not.
They prefer a secure border. The second fighting starts right next to their border they have new issues to consider. I don’t think they are rooting for the Junta by any means.
@@lancetennenbaum2509 Thanks.
With all respect, the world really needs better leadership, not only in this country but also in the western world! As long as this not changes bad things will happen.
We, our people,must win in this year.
Thanaka cream has been used by Burmese men, women, and children (especially women as make-up) for over 2,000 years.[6] It has a fragrant scent somewhat similar to sandalwood.[2][7] The creamy paste is applied to the face in attractive designs, the most common form being a circular patch on each cheek. I always wondered about that stuff
I wondered what it was
why were they wearing it at the border? did they flee in the middle of a spa session? or do they just use it daily?
@@nvmtt1403 IDK to me I like it... The Indians have a beautiful way of doing theirs it's nice though right
@@nvmtt1403 they just wear it out in public. It's just a normal everyday thing for them.
@@nvmtt1403Some people wear it in public everywhere on a daily basis. lol
The Junta was always jurific. This is truly jistoric.
No
Do you tell that Thailand government will not allow to base any rebellion Army soldiers and rebellion government headquarters in Thailand as International laws?
They're not, they still controlled the major cities and the fertile valley provinces (Barmar). Their access to the ports have also remained unrestrained..
Can UN do anything at this point?
Are you sure China isn't helping the Junta? I have a contact who has seen that the Chinese are actually HELPING the Junta fight the rebels. There are soldiers wearing Junta uniforms who aren't speaking Burmese but Chinese.
Right now, it's your contact's word vs. hundreds of videos showing rebels fighters using brand new weapons from China.
Also, there are 4-5 million ethnic Chinese living in Myanmar, around 8% of the population. You can find ethnic Chinese in both the Junta and the rebels.
Used to live there, on the thai side
GO MY KAREN ARMY! WE BEEN FIGHTING WAY TOO LONG AND GET OUR FREEDOM AND OUR RIGHTS.
Our our our.Do you really care about other ethnic groups like shan, chins, or the most importantly Burmese who are against the military dictator. Also it's really important that country should not broke apart after the junta fall
Free Myanmar until it’s spelled backwards ✊
The funniest thing is westerners talk about human rights & international law
SOME ppl teach about human rigth, and they forget they country "blind" about human rigth in Palestine...
Fix your grammar and compared to Palestine literally Myanmar civil war received less coverage than them lol who's been fighting for the last 3 years or so
Palestine army is terrorist but ethnic groups army not terrorist ok
@@ectehnay Hamas is not a Palestine army, they're their own branch of militia who has no allegiance to the Palestinian government in west bank
@@dickylegita6211 but they are Palestine army ask Arab people they don’t consider Hamas as a terrorist group they say Hamas Palestine army.⚠️💀
@Broskisnowski yes they both are!!! We can’t stop their problems. we have to fight for our rights in Myanmar and rebuild new independent country!!
So my understanding was that Thailand supported the Juntaand I guess the problem now is that the Juno is not holding up they're end of the bargain.
So people are going there now.
I heard 21
&2022 we're not great for the government like in the people and the people like in the government in Thailand....
Does anyone in this TH-cam comment section know much about the region!
Each country should do what's best for their own country. Don't involve your neighbors unless it affects them personally. I wish the rebels luck to take back their country.
Help the people of Burma
Colonialism displaced the Rohinga to Arakan.
Thailand 🇹🇭 should integrate parts of Myanmar to bring peace ✌️
Look at a map of Siam before Britain carved away parts of it for The East India Trading Company, and before France carved out Indochina. Those two greedy events still have effects to this day.
Many of Burmese people want to be part of Thailand but their rebel leaders don't want to lose their power.
@@sokapokvic2514 I'm not saying that one person's response is indicative of an entire population, or even a majority, but I did ask a Shan Tai friend of mine once if he felt, as a Tai Yai person, that Shan State should be part of Thailand instead of Myanmar. He said he didn't feel he should be part of Thailand, but he also didn't feel like he was part of Myanmar.
not rebels !
THE PEOPLE!!!
Time to focus on Myanmar people not the unimportant Palestine.
Bestt🎉❤
Sampai kapanpun Indonesia bersama palestine👊
both places are vey important
not nice what you wrote
The Myanmar civil war has been ongoing for over 60 years. If the Myanmar military had enough power, it would have ended long ago.
The people of Burma and all ethnic groups do not want the brutal and brutal Min Aung Hlaing-led militant army. We do not want the brutal militants of Min Aung Hlaing's army.
those military planners of myanmar never thought this through before deciding to take the govt by force. People had had enough of this military take over for years.....and already decided to take arms becoz of this....
Peace for all Asean country
And they recapture the town now😂
Thailand need young and smart Prime Minister not the old man
The people are winning the fight in its current state but and this is a major but .. The conscription of the general population into the Juntas army is a serious and tragic escalation ... i feel this human tragedy is about to explode
Junta is a junta, Never get civilian power.
Your report headlines with the Junta losing a keytown. And your lead question is are they losing power? Next DW host leads with the Junta is losing more and more towns: Is the Junta losing its power. Really insightful questions gentlemen!
The Y in both "Myanmar" and the first syllable of "Myawaddy" are not pronounced as vowels, but glides. "Myanmar" is 2 syllables "Myan-mar" not 3 "My-an-mar", and "Myawaddy" is pronounced "MYAH-wa-DEE", without a stress or elongation of the secone syllable.
And note to the English: 'junta' is pronounced 'hunta'. I cringe every time I here the English say it!

The rebals do not attack civilians why are you saying that they fight for democracy and safety of there people
Burmese would reclaimed Thailand very soon 😆
คิดว่าทำได้ก็ มา

Silly question! The answer is clear. Evil, sadistic regimes always fall when the righteous rise in unity for freedom from oppression.
Myanmar should stop this garb, whoever is responsible. because of this nonsense people from hindustan not able to go to bangkok. Thai to hindustan south etc by road. Stop it now.
Why do we suddenly give a F?
God save the rebels🙏
They said it also to russia but Ukraine admit they're brink of defeat now.
Myanmar has been disintegrating as a country and civil wars will be continuing unless they’re going be a legitimate government that could be formed to be able to govern many ethnic groups by themselves. I do believe that it’s going to be take long time and unless neighboring powers around Myanmar take neutral approaches towards the military junta government.
I find it interesting all the selective outrage against Israel after being attacked on October 7 attack. but yet the same people screaming about Palestinians don’t care in the slightest for the people Myanmar.
Asean should send UN peace keeping forces
The Junta are not the bad guys in the end. We all know those rebels are just goanna be terrible civil war after the battle
Kevin Moon murdered Nora Quorin
We waiting UN we waiting ORG .we r losing all hope from international community..what kind of humanity u help .
Unfortunately, all I can see in the future for the Myanmar people is continuous civil war, even when they defeat the military junta. History has shown that whenever a coalition manage to defeat their common enemy, they will then turn on each other to fight for control/power, this will be true especially when the coalition is made up of different ethnic groups that has historically hated each other.
Once u threw ronhingyas now it's their own people feeling to other countries. Dnt frgt after all we all are humans not animals. Act wisely.
Why is asean had no say on this
Some support the Junta (Thailand) and the rest DGAF about it. My country (Philippines) falls on the latter and our reason is "we have more domestic problems to worry about"...
