My news piece on "the junta's recent conscription law" has been published by USIP. I argue that the junta's move towards compulsory conscription highlights its desperation and further cements its image as a source of instability.

The surrender of 2389 military personnel in Laukkai, including six Brigadier General commanders, marks the largest surrender in the history of Myanmar's military.

[Ye Myo Hein @YeMyoHein5]

In light of the ongoing military developments in Myanmar, it's a must-read.

War broke out in #RakhineState #RathaeTaung Tsp reported by @NarinjaraN. Rakhine, aka #ArakanState, was the only state that had almost no conflicts in #Myanmar over the past 1000 days.

The MNDAA and resistance troops successfully captured a substantial amount of weaponry, including Multiple Rocket Launch and Howitzer, during their battle to seize Kunlong.

Three diplomats told me & ⁦@DevjyotGhoshal⁩ #Myanmar’s military is at its weakest since the coup, after “unprecedented coordination” between resistance forces led to major victories. The opposition has seized multiple towns incl crucial border routes https://t.co/syHglFHLne

Quick glimpse of major towns and cities fully or partially reclaimed by #Myanmar's revolutionary forces (EAOs, PDFs & joint battalions) from the coup regime since #Operation1027 began on 27 Oct. Map doesn't show junta bases that have been taken over.

Political prisoners in Kawlin were freed today by PDFs who captured police headquarter in the township at the end of three-day battle with Myanmar military!

This is the first significant event of its kind since the coup.

[Fortify Rights @FortifyRights]

“It felt like the world was crashing down on us.”

The Myanmar junta conducted air strikes in Laiza, Kachin State, continuing to kill and displace civilians.

UN member states should urgently deny the junta access to aviation fuel and hold it accountable for its crimes.

The three brotherhood has just announced their seizure of control over Hpawnghseng town in Northern Shan State.

[Jason Tower @Jason_Tower79]

United Wa State Party issues statement dismissing officials wanted by Chinese police. Statement claims that these officials “had an enormous negative impact” on Wa’s relations with its neighbors, and that the goal of the punitive action is to restore the UWSP’s reputation.

New acronyms for friends following #Myanmar issues:

TCPC - Transitional Constitution Preparation Committee

I'm still learning too 😅Let me know any acronyms you are not sure about ?

Over 50 political prisoners, incl. activist Ko #WaiMoeNaing, hunger strike in #Monywa prison. Started with 14 PPs after food, clothes, books, & belongings seized during military & police inspection on Fri.

🆘 @ICRC needed to prevent suffering in #Myanmar's prisons.

Great to see #France’s intention to join The #Gambia’s case at the Int’l Court of Justice against the #Myanmar junta for the #Rohingya #genocide. Important points from ⁦@tunkhin80⁩ ⁦@brouklondon⁩ here 👇 https://t.co/3yOappDxg3

Ko Nyein Aung, aka Patrick, is a father of two & a democracy activist from Burma/Myanmar. He’s needs a new kidney to survive. He located one but must find $28k for the surgery next month in Thailand. Please consider a donation. 🙏 #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar https://t.co/JkkDnngGNn

Hard to claim now that #Myanmar junta isn't vulnerable.

-They're using airstrikes and losing soldiers in Naypyidaw
-PDFs operating west of Bago yoma, including along YGN-MDY highway
-5 battalion commanders detained in Kachin
-Leaked doc shows LID at <20% of normal troop levels
