They are not insurgents. They are fighters from elected civilian government fighting for federal democracy. The first Genz self funded army in the world.
There are a lot of misinterpretation in this comment section. Firstly, although the newly formed government NUG has some members of NLD party, the majority members of NLD are either killed, imprisoned or left the party so NLD party is no longer relevant in Myanmar Politics. Second, while the NLD never pursue federalism during their rule, the NUG's primary goal is to build a federal democratic nation after the junta's fall. That's why some of the biggest ethnic rebel groups support and fight alongside with the NUG and PDF. Finally, this isn't the fight between Bamar majority and ethnic groups, this is a fight between the military junta and the entire population regardless of race and religion.
@@tommykaung5882 NUG just hugging etnic to become government, after they got everything, it will be the same like NLD, 0 trust to nug and NLD, in kawhtoolei, we have our own government called kawhtoolei government, nug represent burmesse people and not kawhtoolei people
China is providing them with heavy weapons, unless you believe that they 'found' the weapons in the jungle. Doubt China would want them to become a democracy.
I've visited Myanmar which is an absolutely beautiful country and the people are honest, friendly and helpful.

All of them are united to the main goal of Federal Democratic country and shunted Monarchy and Millitary rule to all the civilian people..there is no question of religion issues and vested interest in it
Let India also draw important lessons. It is ruling the NE states through the military empowered with the draconian Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA). The AFSPA is modelled after the British Act which was enacted to suppress the Indian freedom movement. Newly independent India made it more draconian and enacted the AFSPA in 1955 and applied it first against the Nagas. Instead of solving the political conflict peacefully in an honourable manner, the AFSPA enforcement continues till today. The AFSPA should be totally repealed.
Not always tho..prime example is Manipur where Myanmar millitant groups like UNLF,PLA,KYKL,KCP are actively involve yet AFSPA isn't imposed to control them @@Sol-ps8ox
The junta won’t survive this rebellion. Burma may split up as a result of the insurrection now taking place in the Asian country. China seems to be supporting both sides by arming the rebels and giving military support to the authorities in Rangoon.
That is so true unless the lady who won the last election take the presidential position as intended which could stabilize and slowly bring investor confidence again.
Or maybe they won't. Maybe they can bring back President Aung San Suu Kyi. Maybe they can reunite the country, and with a better constitution this time to prevent another coup, respect all the various ethnic groups, and bring Myanmar forward in the world. Lots of revolutions and counter-revolutions come to ends, not just beginnings of new conflicts.
@@Tmb1112 If Aung San Suu Kyi returns, she needs to disband the army and jail its generals.That is the only way forward to free and fair elections. The army has been the only hindrance to democracy there. If she can get rid of it, a joint partnership can be created among the 3 brother alliance and a new army.
My wish to the people of mynmar esp to the young generations today. Obtained such education so that your country will have a good governance. Education is the Key to progression
They can't have it because military government is aaswhole. Myanmar was once having the greatest university in sea and almost every students can speak English but military government fck it all
Just be careful, people of Myanmar. Some say they fight for democracy but then snag the power themselves. Make sure your country belongs to YOU the people. I'm glad things seem to be taking a turn now
0:01 According Karen Culture and Social Support Foundation, Karen Culture and Faith at a Crossroads Religions and Beliefs of the Karen People of Burma by Paul Keenan and World Directory of Minorities and Indigenous Peoples are Karen people NOT predominantly Christian. The majority of Karen are Theravada Buddhists who also practice animism, while approximately 15-30 percent are Christian.
After their eventual victory over the hated military, will myanmar still be a single country? Or it is going to become several countries like say, yugoslavia?
One of them is Alain Bambo. A man who visits regularly Myanmar and Karen nation to supply them with food, electricity generators and other stuff they need. He reports situation among Karen on his TH-cam channel "Okazerk". He has friendly relations with Karen soldiers and you can support his work on crowdfunding platform "Ko-fi" where he has his profile "Alain Bambo". All money he recives from donations and all money from TH-cam goes to support Karen nation.
@@kirakd7204 China is funding just Northern Alliance, Shan State Army - North and United Wa State Army (which works as their proxy basiclly), but they definitely don´t support all rebel groups. For example Shan State Army - South has nothing to do with China. China is still very wary of the NUG because it considers it too pro-Western so they don´t support PDF neither.
Clearly you haven't been following closely (The Irrawaddy for instance). The fighting has been going on non stop for the past couple of years and really intensified in late October, when the western media started reporting on it. DW has been covering it extensively since.
If they fight against the military regime they are freedom fighters & if palestinian fights for their rights they are terrorists. Hypovrisy is also crying
No, because Myanmar is literally the west door of south east Asia. They can't just allow the people who are largely influenced by bingali or India stuffs
Not since 1988. It was a 'military democracy,' as in the junta was moving towards or at least pretending to support democratic reforms until it slid backwards again and now just a complete military dictatorship. The rebels are fighting for a real federal democracy. Hopefully they can succeed.

Not really, NLD Govt never negotiated with ethnic groups for federalism. What are you talking about 😂
The translation is wrong too, federal democracy is for burmesse people, not for several state people, NLD is crazy,

All the good humans and Gods children.
Praying for Myanmar‘s Peace & Order. My heart is crying seeing young people joining the fight for freedom. O God save the Land.

There must br a change no mitary junta freedom freedom 😢😢😢😮

That is bad for Chinese interest .
May they get their freedom.
Desertion rate is high among Junta Army. A unit of Junta army some 4-5 batellion surrender without a single shoot fire.
What then after crumbling the military?
Then Bangladesh takes over Rohingya lands with no opposition
yes..Junta is facing an existential threat..
Why do you call the locals fighting against the military coup "insurgents"?

and then... The power vacuum devolves into a multi-way civil war.
Yes..military Junta is facing 'Existential Threat'?
Artificial Inteliigence will have a hard time and long way to replace these soldiers.
You forget to mention weapon SOLD from ISRAEL as well.

What a load rubbish. Maybe, China should take India over.
Myanmar junta using military & religian. for power.
He's place is military not Goverment.
anyone in Myanmar can give information...about Rohingya ? is Rohingya still exist in Rakhine ?
No, because Myanmar is literally the west door of south east Asia. They can't just allow the people who are largely influenced by bingali or India stuffs
Corruption New
im asked NATO and US to send weapons to civilian forces
Chins has no their original home. They must be shoo away from Myanmar
So that they come in my India and coz trouble
