The junta regime has brought back former Administration workers to Falam town fter successfully asserting control over the northern town in Chin State, Myanmar.

The workers - who are known as non-CDM (Civil Disobedience Movement) - are nurses, local police members and Administrative workers.

As conditions evolve, many residents who initially fled to Hakha, the state capital, and Kalaymyo of Sagaing are now returning as well.

This shift is indicative of their preference to live under the junta regime, as the Chin armed groups have struggled to maintain control and governance in the town.

More importantly, the existing disunity among these armed groups is eroding morale, not only among their supporters but also among the anti-junta resistance forces themselves.
