Myanmar's power balance shifts as military loses grip on key regions
Three armed groups changed Myanmarʼs military landscape with their unexpected attack last fall. Government forces lost many key positions and now struggle to maintain control in north-east
In a game-changing move last fall three well-equipped militia groups hit Myanmarʼs north-eastern region with un-expected attack‚ that shifted long-standing power balance in the country
The strike caught Myanmar Military Forces off-guard: militia groups quick-ly took many areas — a success that made other resistance groups join the fight. Before this attack government troops seemed un-touchable with their huge army (supported by both Russia and China)
Todayʼs situation shows major changes: Myanmarʼs Military Command lost many key spots including important bases cities and check-points. Top army leaders dont hide that getting these positions back would be super-hard; their control is getting weaker day-by-day
