- A year after Myanmar’s military coup upended the nation, the country has slipped into chaos. The People’s Defence Forces-a scrappy coalition of fighters-have become the newest group resisting the military. Twelve months ago, these men and women were students and office workers protesting the coup. Now, they carry out surprise attacks on junta checkpoints, bomb army convoys, and fight to overthrow the military government. VICE correspondent Ben C. Solomon travels to the Thai-Myanmar border to find out how these new soldiers are trapped in the prolonged battle.

Thank you Vice so much for bringing Myanmar to the worlds attention again! I know the anti coup Myanmar nationals like me have expressed the same in the comments and I’d to join and say thanks myself too. The resistance is still going strong! ✊
Hi
Keep it up!
We support you from asean brother Indonesia! God bless you
Its tough out there. Stay safe.
F*ck Myanamor! Displaced over one million people and murdered 1000’s without remorse and now you want the world to feel sorry for your shitty run government? Where was you when you people brutally murdered and tortured the Rohingya people? No remorse for the wicked!
I have so much respect for the people of Myanmar. They really took ownership of their nation, willing to fight for a better future for it!
A year ago these teenagers had nothing but paper signs against the heavily armed army. There were videos of Army thugs having fun doing target practice on unarmed civilians. Especially weak 60+ year old elders and 1-3 year old kids. Bashing healthcare workers heads in. Stealing food from street food vendors. No end to absurd news on and on! All because they want to power trip and soothe their huge egos. Some Army thugs even posted on Tiktok acting tough with their rifles. Now that the unarmed teenagers can fight back, albeit with lesser quality guns, the thug Army is having a difficult time. It's funny how a group of kids with homemade guns and mines are schooling the Army on how to fight. I am so proud of the kids in the People’s Defence Forces. All we could do a year ago was grit our teeth when we hear news of injustices. Now, every single day we have several headlines hearing Army thugs getting killed daily by mines and ambushes. All across the country!
now they and people understand what rohingya people had gone through
@@CrazyandLazy The Irrawaddy reported today: Around 200 junta troops including a battalion commander were reportedly killed within three days during a series of intense clashes with the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) in Hpakant Township, Kachin State, according to local residents and media outlets.
@@christianevanherck6023 Music to my ears. News of their deaths every day is like watching a long drawn out revenge flick. It's a great feeling to read about the Tyrant Army Captains having taste of bullets and mines and leaving for the afterlife.
@@CrazyandLazy I recommend this Frontier Myanmar report (partly copied) - Rising dragon: TNLA declares ‘victory’ in northern Shan dated Feb 3: "Tanyang township, which is also home to many Shan people, is known for poverty, illicit drug production and conflict; numerous pro-military forces and ethnic armed groups, including the Shan State Progress Party, have a presence here.
Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA) leaders say the group gained control of parts of Tangyang as part of an agreement with the SSPP, its ally in northern Shan State, and has received a warm welcome from the Rumai, a Ta’ang tribe that lives in Tangyang and provided most of the new recruits marching at the ceremony. “Previously our troops could not reach these areas, but now we have a presence,” TNLA commander-in-chief Tar Hold Plang said at the January 12 ceremony. “Finally, we can protect our Ta’ang people here.”
TNLA leaders told Frontier that the coup had created an opportunity to make inroads against the RCSS. Because the Tatmadaw was distracted by events elsewhere in the country, it did little to prevent their attacks on the Shan group, and TNLA forces were able to move relatively freely around northern Shan State. For the first time since arriving in northern Shan State, the RCSS was forced to withdraw in the face of a combined TNLA and SSPP attack, retreating from a mountain base near Nyaung Maung village north of Kyaukme, Tar Muse said.
The TNLA won an even more significant victory in October, when its troops forced the RCSS to retreat from its stronghold at Hu Hsun, after several months of fighting."
Watching Jack speak to his family brought tears to my eyes. He's just a young man fighting for a better life for himself and those he loves. It is such a cruel, cruel world we live in. An unforgiving and unequal world.
That’s exactly what they want you to believe and perceive they as “freedom fighters “ other than the fact that those rebel groups are actively engaging in drug trafficking lol
@@Zov631 It's always more complicated than it seems. When you're born in a freer society it's easy to simplify or look down on their choices.
@@Zov631 Wrong. So ignorant. The groups in drug trafficking are WSA and SSA and Kokang, only Chinese connected groups
Cruel world dictated by greedy old men
@@Zov631 Ha Ha stop spreading your lies. Find decent way of living instead of earning by covering up people suffering. Shame on you.

People of Myanmar have suffered for way too long through no fault of their own.. I keep my fingers crossed and pray for Myanmar that a full blown civil war is not coming to a long suffering nation anytime in the future. 🙏
Peace be with you all.
@@ms.gregoria2249 So true that the vast majority of people of Myanmar have suffered for way too long through no fault of their own.. Peace and prosperity to all Myanmar people! 🙏🙏🙏
(For plain truth about Myanmar, pls read the insightful multi-page comments by 'Ms. Gregoria' at, "Myanmar remains in social and economic crisis since military seized power/BBC News".. It's on CZcams.)
@@ms.gregoria2249 Speaking of which, the coups in Myanmar and some others around the world today are totally different from the coups which took place over half a century earlier when newly independent nations, including Burma, just came out of centuries-long Colonialism, bitter and poverty-stricken, turned to a new deal of Social-Democratic system (Socialism/Communism).
- Today's coups, in most cases, are changes in the political system only, while the economic system is mostly left intact. Like I said, today's coups, in nations such as South Korea, the Philippines & Thailand, in most cases, are changes in the political sector only, while the economic/investment sectors are mostly left intact.
- So what is this the fact that the West & their Western news media hardly utter a negative word about coups in Asian nations such as South Korea & the Philippines in the past and Thailand today; and yet the West, Western news media and their affiliates hardly have a day goes by without having negative comments & reactions regarding coup in Myanmar.
May I ask why are they treating it so differently with Myanmar and most of all, what are they up to, what is their truth motives behind all these?
- Speaking of USA-led joint annual military exercise in Thailand, which has been under military coup since 2014, and true, last August 2021/22, the largest annual military exercise was held among full participating nations, USA, Thailand, South Korea, Malaysia, Japan, Indonesia & Singapore.
In my humble opinion, Burma would have been much better off without Anglo British Colonialism.
For instance, there's hardly any Muslim, Hindu or Christian there up until Colonialism. I supposed it's fair to say that many of these tragedies that nation facing today, such as racial, ethnic and religious conflicts, started with Colonialism. 😔
Speaking of ethnic and religious tragedies Burma facing today, the fact that the world's longest Civil War which is in Myanmar, mainly between Buddhist Burmese and Christian Karen (while Buddhist Karen are largely at peace) was made it possible, prolonged and supported by Anglo Clans of USA, UK & Australia, etc while they are using next-door neighbor Thailand (which has a defense treaty with them) as a base camp since in the 1950.
In my humble opinion, ethnic refugees & others fleeing the conflict/war in Myanmar are entitled to cross over to Thailand to stay, as well as eligibility to relocate to new places such as USA, Australia.

While most of the world is pre-occupied with the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia's potential war with Ukraine, it saddens me greatly that many like myself were blind to the plight of the Myanmar's people with the coup of their own military.
The virus and Russia are serious threads and potentially can destroy the whole world ( especially war with Russia)..... Myanmar is place 99,9% of the ppl, including me, don't even know exists or how to find it on the world map. No offence but to compare it with such important things makes no sense
@@Sasha.Z. Nonsense. Most people just sit on their lazy asses in home office browsing youtube and facebook, and not fighting Covid19 or Russia. We can, should, and perhaps even have to care. Particularly here in the west we can take actions to deny this regime access to finance, logistics, markets, weaponry and so forth, and we can directly support the opposition and democracy movements on location. We the people have to pressure our governments into action. Don't forget, WE ARE THE STATE, not the officials. WE DECIDE what is being done with our tax money, not these corrupt bureaucrats. They are to do what the population asks of them, that's what they get paid for. They are our servants. Never let them forget that.
@@Sasha.Z. hopefully Russia invades you
@@Sasha.Z. Your narrow worldview is showing. It's really wrong of you to claim the Russia-Ukraine Crisis is more important than the Myanmar crisis. So I guess the people of Myanmar and by extension the rest of the Asian region don't matter in your eyes. All of Asia's regional powers (China, India, Japan) are involved in Myanmar and any seismic crisis in Myanmar can have effects on these countries and the rest of the region and eventually the rest of the world. Let me reiterate that CHINA is involved and if you aren't aware, China is the emerging power of the world and is already outperforming the US in several sectors. Asia is also the region with the highest economic growth rate in the world. What happens in Asia, affects the world. Why do you think the US is so obsessed with Asia and the Pacific these days?
@@Sasha.Z. You must only follow what's happening in Eastern Europe and the US or something because a year ago, the Myanmar coup was one of the top international news stories and discussed at the UN.
All I see happening is what happened to Sri Lanka in the 80’s

Now Muslims people are under even more threats than it was in the past. Before it was only in Rakhine state, now it's open season on Muslims and ethnic minority. One Muslim family was raided and young daughters were raped in Mandalay by military people a few months ago. A young Muslim man was beaten to death in broad daylight last month in Mandalay. I live near a mosque in Mandalay and I know lots of Muslim neighbors, everyone were living under intense fear, at least there used to be law in place to protect the Muslims living in big cities. Please if you value human rights, have some sympathy for all of us. FYI I'm not Burmese, I'm just one of the ethnic minorities living in Mandalay.

If they themselves where silent, why do they expect now others not to be silent? That’s all I’m saying, you can’t just stay silent in front of such atrocities and it makes me angry.

Thank you so much for the amazing report. The people in Myanmar need all attention and the support they can get.
The Tatmadaw (Burmese Military) are now universally reviled by every ethnic group in Burma after turning their guns on even their own Bamar people last February. This essentially removed the last moral justification the Military had to power by claiming that this was just a sectarian conflict, which means that every stakeholder in the country (and even outside) now stands to benefit from the military's defeat, similar to how ISIS was so awful that everyone wanted them gone.
Because of this I easily see the possibility of foreign volunteers travelling to fight in Burma as this civil war heats up, so to any of you fellas who missed your shot at ISIS in the 2010s, get ready for a second chance to shine.
Civil war is just gonna destroy the country and set it back for decades, especially since most of the economic growth was instrumented by military dictatorship. However, it's an excellent opportunity for separatists who don't care.
@@yo2trader539 Wrong, Burma's only period of rapid economic growth was from 2008 to 2021 during the time the country was a partial democracy. Since the coup last February Myanmar's GDP has contracted by 30% and is projected to fall even further as the generals consolidate control and begin using the country's wealth for personal expenses like during the height of their power.
The Military always has been Burma's biggest economic liability to the point that even their biggest partner China has voiced concerns over delays caused by the coup to the numerous infrastructure deals it signed with Burma's previous democratic government. Its why the Chinese have continued to maintain and even increase contacts with Burmese rebel groups and proxies despite stalling UN resolutions condemning the coup.
Nobody in Burma benefits from the Junta aside from the Generals themselves, any suggestion otherwise is deliberate misinformation.
@@fludblud Stats from the World Bank disagrees with you. I don't know what "rapid" means in your case, but 1999 is 8.47% growth, 2000 is 12.4% growth. And double-digit growth continues until 2010. In reality, growth rate is less impressive during what you call "partial democracy."
the foreign volunteers are still out and thriving the ypg is still strong in Syria last I heard I've heard through the grape vine volunteers have been fighting in ukraine dont quote me on that though
@@yo2trader539 is that why majority of Burmese are poor while the military despot rulers are rich and have millions offshore and their families?

this is unreal to see what the situation is there right now. I wisited Burma 10 years ago when i was 6 years old. it was so nice there and the people are so kind
I had no idea about any of this!! Thank you for sharing this , I cant believe it.
Thanks for the solid video!
Thank you to Vice for documenting Myanmar and spread awareness of the situation in myanmar
Nothing but love, solidarity and respect for our brothers and sisters in Myanmar
thankyou Ben and vice for going to myanmar and reporting in person, especially during these times. As always keep up the great work spreading the truth.
And to myanmar you are fighting the good fight and the good guys always win
I was in Bagan in 2016 exploring the beautiful temples and meeting the hardworking people, it was so peaceful then….praying that the people win their fight against their corrupt military.
that's vice for u...thank you for being the voice for my country...keep up all great works guys
For more information watch the documentary ‘Free Burma Rangers’ I’m not deeply religious but it’s still an amazing story about an American family that’s been fighting the Myanmar military for over 20 years and they even raised a family alongside indigenous fighters.
Yes I highly recommend watching the documentary. It was an amazing experience to watch in the theater.
Lol Free Burma Rangers is an organization built upon white supremacy and harmful missionary ideals. Not surprising that they chose to centralize the white american family in a documentary about the Revolution.
@@zabajaba7357 lol at least they are making a difference mate, what have you done for the cause? If you are a Burmese I’m sure you are either pro or against this. Other Ethnic minorities have been treated this way since WW2. Now the Junta doing it against their own kinds. Now they are fighting just like the rest of the people for freedom. You need to learn to distinguish Allies and enemy, before start talking about race and colors.
@@lenbathin9182 LOL I'm a mixed ethnic person from Myanmar (half being Karen, a lot of my friends and families are in the PDF on the frontlines). The military was the result of colonizers who came into Myanmar and decided to draw a border with all these different ethnic groups. The longest civil war was caused by white supremacy and harmful missionary ideals that birthed this military. Sure, you can acknowledge the work that FBR do but as a mixed ethnic person from Myanmar who has Karen friends and families fighting on the frontlines, whose culture was erased by white missionaries, I do not support FBR. They have an extremely powerful hold on these desperate communities and is being glorified for it. Do you know that a lot of these communities aren’t allowed education, healthcare or food if they don't recite verses from the bible? Please try to be critical of these huge Christian organizations before blindly glorifying this. These practices are what started this entire Revolution,
@@zabajaba7357 I’ve never heard that before but I’m genuinely interested please give me some examples of proof of that because I am currently under the impression that they go into places where nobody else will and have a large number of trained medical personnel. They also have saved hundreds of lives while working in Sudan and Mosul, and as far as them forcing Christianity upon the people they’re helping is not entirely true. I know personally that in Iraq they worked with and saved the lives of several hundred Muslim people without any pay or religious pressure.
thank you so much vice
Really life of Myanmar till now thanks you for making videos. And Sharing

“We’ve hidden there identity out of fears of retribution..” but you didn’t and showed their body type and markings.. how do you not think of that VICE?
Many thanks VICE news for this incredible video. May people of Myanmar be free from sufferings.
Thank you for bringing this news
May Myanmar be free from the Junta
Just started crying when I heard "brother, I miss you" I hope this conflict ends as soon as possible and with the least amount of deaths.
your videos are top notch. thank you
Thank You.
Bless to all freedom fighters
SHAMEFUL! WHAT KIND OF SECRECY DO YOU KEEP FOR THEIR SAFETY? YOU HAVE EXPOSED THEIR FACE SO WELL.. IS MAKING THEIR HISTORY AND SOCIAL MEDIA PICTURES EXPOSED NOT ENOUGH? THEY HAVE FAMILIES BACK HOME.. THEY CAN BE VULNERABLE DUE TO YOUR CARELESSNESS
Agreed. Might as well have posted their home addresses.
Who cares
this is so sad, so different than what I experienced during my volunteerism in 2012 in the orphanages
Vice is back with their daring contents again....Good job
it's amazing how the entire world did not take any significant action to repel Myanmar's coup. We keep saying that we're united to keep the peace but we ignore this kind of behavior. I fear that all military leaders will take note that nothing will happen if they take over a country.
Please do some research before commenting. Nobody ignored the coup!
Significant action, you mean start a war in Myanmar? Which country should have done that according to you?
"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." - JFK
and the media claims we're the bad guys...meanwhile the Myanmar junta's like "Hold my beer"
Great documentary
This is some oldschool Vice. Love it!
Vice wtf?
"We've agreed to hide their identities out of fear of retribution"
But we'll show everyone's identifiable tattoos, a picture from this guy's previous job, and tons of local architecture.
Vice has a reputation for it.
Vice has gotten people killed , got a man killed running away for 7 years , but as soon as he did an interview with vice he got killed
Thank you for reporting this very important issue. Nice to see 'on the ground' scenarios. Myanmar people are incredibly resilient. Amazed the Junta think they can overpower the strength of the people. From remote Myanmar villages to the streets of Yangon.
Thank you so much Vice News
Please make your subtitles a little larger to be read better. Thank you for sharing.
Great work Vice, but the initial cut shouldn't be here, by living in the border town where the video is filmed. Thai authorities are posing more and more restrictions and crack down on the illegal entries. This will jeopardize the forces for temporarily shelter.

Thank you vice
Fight for your freedom 🇲🇲 !!
Myanmar is a beautiful nation. My thoughts and prayers go out to all Myanmar people 🙏 🙏🙏
Unfortunately, the vast majority of innocent people of Myanmar have suffered for way too long through no fault of their own, way back from Colonialism. Peace and prosperity to long suffering Myanmar people! 🙏 🙏 🙏
The coups in Myanmar and some others around the world today are totally different from the coups which took place over half a century earlier when newly independent nations, including Burma, just came out of centuries-long Colonialism, bitter and poverty-stricken, turned to a new deal of Social-Democratic system (Socialism/Communism).
Today's coups, in most cases, are changes in the political system only, while the economic system is mostly left intact. Like I said, today's coups, in nations such as South Korea, the Philippines & Thailand, in most cases, are changes in the political sector only, while the economic/investment sectors are mostly left intact.
So what is this the fact that the West & their Western news media hardly utter a negative word about coups in Asian nations such as South Korea & the Philippines in the past and Thailand today; and yet the West, Western news media and their affiliates hardly have a day goes by without having negative comments & reactions regarding coup in Myanmar.
May I ask why are they treating it so differently with Myanmar and most of all, what are they up to, what is their truth motives behind all these?
Speaking of USA-led joint annual military exercise in Thailand, which has been under military coup since 2014, and true, last August 2021, the largest annual military exercise was held among full participating nations, USA, Thailand, South Korea, Malaysia, Japan, Indonesia & Singapore.
The difference between Myanmar and my Singapore is that Myanmar made a mistake by allowing US and EU NGOs to infiltrate the country.., while Singapore will never allow these US and EU NGOs to conduct their covert operations freely on Singaporean soil. A costly lesson for Myanmar.
Western sponsored 'Color Revolution' in Myanmar is now creating humanitarian crises all over the nation, as peaceful protests turn into violent riots. It is said that there's around 100 groups and organizations which are currently funded by the West to incite demonstrations & riots in Myanmar. It seems all the Western inciters from places like Hong Kong in the past are in Myanmar.
If you check out the U.S funding through NGO/NED to Myanmar promoting 'Democracy', the list of programs is very extensive. Targeting so many areas in Myanmar's society, including the youth to rebel against the military. This is the result you are seeing today on the ground. The U.K also has been providing similar support as well.
It's never a noble undertaking when the U.S government starts funding protests, especially when you also find out that they are funding, training and arming all of the different ethnic minority groups in the region and turning them against each other!
The image of grassroots protest the media has been painting is impossible to pass these days when you see all these grassroots protesters with weapons of war, I wonder how that happened! This has been going on for a long time and the U.S had a lot to do with the Rohinga crisis as well.
It's been a long term destabilization campaign, for the most part, to block and undermine China's Belt and Road Initiative, BRI; promoting all this killing just to support some geopolitical agenda because they would rather destroy their competition than just compete.
If you must know, former Colonial Anglo West has been consistently trying to divide Burma/Myanmar into pieces for ages. They have been watching and waiting for this opportunity at every corner and every turn in Myanmar's history since it gained Independence from Britain some seventy years ago. I may be wrong, but my gut feeling has been telling me this for a long time. Remember, Yugoslavia, the world leader of the Non-Aligned Movement during the Cold War, and what happened to that nation? Today, former Yugoslavia was divided and became six smaller nations, much thanks to the West.
Slavery, Colonialism and Colonization, etc are evil things done and benefited by evildoers.
Like you said, in centuries-long old Colonial era, when the world was under Colonial Anglo Western control & influence; nations/ethnic groups in Asia, Africa, North & South America, were committing atrocities against one another (brother against brother, etc), all because Colonial West pit one group against another, which is the the ploy (such as, 'divide & conquer, divide & rule, divide & loot'), that were regularly used for their own Western advantages; what they call it, 'Anglo Western Interests'. True, it's all about 'Anglo Western Hegemony' by all means and at all cost to this day.
By the way, do you know the fact that there are only two nations in the world that have been continuously engaged in fighting since WWII. They are USA and Myanmar. While wealthy USA, as a gang leader of Capitalist Imperialist Anglo West, would go all over the whole wide world to engage in wars, to loot bounties, and thus became evermore prosperous; impoverished Myanmar, on the other hand, is engaged in internal civil war, brother against brother, which causes everyone involved getting even more impoverished and destitute. So and so, this cycle of 'infighting and poverty' continues back and forth to this day. A sad truth indeed.
Moreover, the Capitalist Imperialist West would go into the region/nation for their own interest, and then divide and conquer, divide and rule, divide and loot, pit one 'local group' against another. These 'local populace' that are used by the West or sided with the West, in the conflict/crisis/war, and when they are needed to be evacuated for one reason or the other, then the West will raise the issue about 'refugees'. This has been the case throughout history wherever the conflict the West is involved in. In fact, there were tens of millions of refugees here in the USA & other Western nations that the West brings in throughout history, past and present.
Besides, Myanmar has had no politics for over two generations; so it's new for people there, young and old alike. In other words, it's easy to get fooled by the Capitalist Imperialist trick. Here in USA, the so-called 'Politics' is a little more than a 'Window Dressing' (mainly used by the wealthiest Capitalist/ the One Percent elite who are 'The Power That Be'/ the real ruler of the land), while 'Politicians' are merely 'Poster Boys' put it out as part of Democracy.
Finally, Capitalist West's so-called 'Democracy, Freedom, and Human Rights', etc are just marketing terms used by the Rich/obscenely rich Capitalists from The Capitalist USA & the West to sell their game, subjugating the Poor throughout the whole wide world, and milking them for everything they can. In other words, Democracy, Freedom, and Human Rights are just marketing tools used by the Rich from the USA & the West to sell their game, subjugate and milk the Poor worldwide.
In fact, a mere fifty (50) Capitalist elites from the USA & the West have more wealth than half the world population, which is nearly 4 billions.
There's hardly any Muslim, Hindu or Christian in Myanmar up until Anglo British Colonialism.
'Anglos caused most of the world's problems' ~ David Cameron, former British Prime Minister
Speaking of ethnic and religious tragedies Burma/Myanmar facing today, the fact that the world's longest Civil War which is in Myanmar, mainly between Buddhist Burmese and Christian Karen (while Buddhist Karen are largely at peace) was made it possible, prolonged and supported by Anglo Clans of USA, UK & Australia, etc while they are using next-door neighbor Thailand (which has a defense treaty with them) as a base camp since in the 1950.
In my humble opinion, ethnic Karen refugees fleeing the conflict/war in Myanmar are entitled to cross over to Thailand to stay, as well as eligibility to relocate to new places such as USA, Australia.
Like I said, Anglo Clans of USA, UK & Australia, etc are using next-door neighbor Thailand, which has a defense treaty with them, as a base camp since in the 1950s; from which attack against China/PRC was launched by sending Chinese Nationalist (Taiwanese Kuomintang) forces into nearby Burma's eastern border closed to China in the '50s and '60s.
Like Anglo British introduced opium to China a century earlier, USA-led Anglo clans introduced opium/opium growing as a form of self-support to those Chinese Nationalist (Taiwanese Kuomintang) forces in Shan State of Burma in the '50s and '60s. You see that's how Burma became opium producer. 🤔
Anglo Clans of USA, UK & Australia, etc are using next-door neighbor Thailand, which has a defense treaty with them, as a base camp since in the 1950s; from which attack against nearby Laos & Cambodia were launched during Indochina war.
Speaking of the Capitalist Imperialist Anglo Western war in Vietnam, 15 years of war in the Indochina war was all about RUBBER that the region produced around 80% of world supply in those days.
About 5 million innocent Vietnamese and 6 million Cambodians died due to the direct and indirect effect of war.
Moreover, Anglo West's war in Iraq was all about OIL, and 20 years of Afghan war/occupation was for RARE EARTH MINERALS. About half a million Iraq citizens and over one hundred thousand Afghans died as well. 😔
My thoughts and prayers go out to Myanmar people as well. 🙏
In my humble opinion, Myanmar is just another nation, the U.S & the West try to rule and fail.
I keep my finger crossed and pray for Myanmar that full blown civil war is not coming to a long suffering nation anytime in the future. 🙏
In near by Buddhist nation of Sri Lanka, a long and bloody civil war between the Sinhalese majority and Tamil ethnic minority was as a result of Colonial master Anglo British's notorious 'divide and rule' ploy, that tension between the two groups had been simmering for a century way back in Colonial era, when British pit one against the other.
The Anglo West is playing on both sides; to divide and rule, and to stop China's massive BRI (Belt and Road Initiative) in Myanmar & throughout the region. Same old lame old Western Capitalist Imperialist trick!
The West is working hard to block China access to the sea through Myanmar; as with the case in the South China Sea where they have been working on for a decade.
The USA-led West is trying so hard to put barriers around China. See, South China Sea, for example. They have been working hard on that front for so long.
Now they are working on this Myanmar-China front, since it gives China access to the sea. There are gas pipelines, oil pipelines, container ship ports and roads between Myanmar's coastal region and China's Yunnan Province; all these infrastructures give China access to the sea through Myanmar.
In other words, Myanmar is increasingly becoming a strategic point for China, economy & military wise, so the Anglo Western gang is playing hard to block it. That is what it's all about.
Besides, People's Republic of China's noble global initiative development plan, Belt & Road Initiative, BRI that it wants to develop off-the-beaten-path regions of the world, such as inner and mountainous regions that are left behind, in terms of development, and has a "will and power" to do so.
While market economies such as Capitalist West do not have the will and power to do so, simply because a market economy means it only invests the money where the market is, where one can make money out of it.
So in that sense, China's 'One Belt, One Road' policy benefits a great many regions and nations that are left behind, in terms of economic development, due to their geographical location.
China's One Belt-One Road global development initiative program has 65 nations involved worldwide, and many of them are, like Myanmar & Indochina, off the beaten path, far-flung regions that are left untouched by economic development. And of course, the good old Western nations that thrive on Capitalism, and accumulated great mountains of wealth on Colonialism in the past, are hardly involved in this great program.
@@nomastersnogods9303 I keep my finger crossed and pray for Myanmar that full blown civil war is not coming to a long suffering nation anytime in the future. 🙏
In my humble opinion, Burma would have been much better off without Colonialism.
For instance, there's hardly any Muslim, Hindu or Christian in Myanmar up until Anglo British Colonialism.
I supposed it's fair to say that many of these tragedies of Myanmar facing today, such as racial ethnic and religious conflicts, started with Colonialism.
Do you know Burma used to be a major oil producer for British Empire up until the Middle-East oil boom in 1930? Burmah Oil Company was one of a handful of oil giants in those days.
"Anglos caused most of the world's problems" - David Cameron, former British Prime Minister
Let me rephrase it, if I may; "Anglos caused most of the world's problems, including a heck of a hell lot in Burma/Myanmar".
- first under the long and painful Anglo British Colonial era;
- secondly, boycotted and blacklisted by Anglo West, as an impoverished nation turned to Socialism for relief after Colonialism.
Myanmar has a sad saying that goes "A poor young girl got raped and got hurt twice", referring to their nation's double tragedies.
The fact the Colonial master Anglo West has left countless trails of 'WRONGS' that former colonial nations are still trying to untangle and get them right, to right those wrongs.
While at the same time, former Colonial powers and the West have been busy blacklisting, boycotting and sanctioning all those nations that try to right the wrongs of all their sins/wrongs of the past.
Since the world is still under their mighty military, economic and political control and influence; although to some degrees, it seems dwindling lately as China and others are rising steadily and thus slowly but steadily shifting the balance of the power of the world.
In Colonial era, cities like Rangoon-Burma, Saigon-Vietnam and Shanghai-China were quite similar in a sense that those cities were quite prosperous and wealthy but those wealth (mainly generated from trading countries' labors & resources) were largely in the hands of Colonial masters & foreigners alike, while Natives were mainly poor and doing menial works.
In fact, in Rangoon in Colonial era there were signs that essentially said, "No Burmese and dogs allowed".
In Saigon in Colonial era there were signs that essentially said, "No Vietnamese and dogs allowed".
In Shanghai in Colonial era there were signs that essentially said, "No Chinese and dogs allowed".
Remember the days when Burma was call 'Rice bowl of Asia' while Zimbabwe was called 'Bread basket of Africa'; but who are the main beneficiaries of all these bountiful wealth under Colonialism?
The answer is Colonial master Western clans.
When some of these former Colonial nations turned away from them, the former Colonial master Western clans pulled the plug and blackout against them, since they still control enormous economy and military power/might on earth.
Its all about my way or highway Western mentality, and yet they preach about Freedom.
After these former Colonial nations turned to People Republic/Socialism for a relief after enduring long and painful Colonialism; the West which had enjoyed and accumulated enormous amount of wealth during their centuries-long global Colonialism, blackout and blacklist former colonies.
True, then they would blame on Dictatorship, Corruption, Authoritarian rule, A failed state, etc of any nation that doesn’t submit to their mighty Capitalist Imperialist West.
Hard times makes hard me, nothing but respect for all of them for standing up for their freedom
Thank you Vice.
Thanks to British Colonialists, our Mizo-Chin Ancestral Lands were divided into two countries, India and Burma, and made us a microscopic minor ethnic group in both the countries. Till today, my Mizo-Chin tribe has suffered in the hands of Burmese because of the stupid boundaries drawn by British Colonialists.
That's so true. All the ethnic minorities in the sub-continent lumped into only a few countries.
It's not British soldiers killing those people. It's Myanmar military.
@@ptonpc good lord. Can you fucking read? Where did he say or even imply the British actually killed anyone? He’s right. There will never be peace in many countries in the Middle East especially because arbitrary nation lines were drawn that put loads of rival tribes with ancient blood feuds in the same countries, and in the case OP mentioned, divided this tribe to its detriment. Don’t be purposefully dense.

Full support to Myanmar protestors, the military junta will fall
it's so unfortunate that myanmar coup got the least media coverage because no western country is involved in it.
Myanmaris don't lose hope,, democracy will prevail, long live the revolution
You can find regular coverage on CZcams especially from India: channel name WION (World Is One News), other channels are CNA News (Singapore) and Al Jazeera (Qatar).
Those young warriors used to be boys and girls with full of dreams. They were normal students, poetic, singers, actors, engineers, doctors enjoying their peaceful lives. Now they become resistance warriors to protect our freedom and hopes. Thanks for spreading our voices.
Feeling so sad for those displaced from homes & loved ones lots of strength to all from india
Fighting in the jungle with no foreign support, sounds familiar to what my Grandfather went through. It may seem like a losing battle, but they can win, it's happened before.
Currently, the military regime is facing daily attacks from PDFs and ethnic armed organizations nationwide, with the exception of Rakhine State. The military is stretched on many fronts across Myanmar and can hardly afford to send the number of troops that would be required to establish control in all parts of the country. Between 5 and 10 Tatmadaw personnel are deserting every day, informed sources say the desertion rate is much higher than that.
PDF and the many other Rebel groups, are heroes regular people, young men mainly in their late teens, 20's, and 30's thrown into a situation they don't really want to be in, but must do for the sake of democracy, for their families, for their country, and for their future. and for their children's futures. If they don't feel support, they can gain solace in knowing the majority of people in this world supports them, and opposes the dictatorship that is abusing its people in Myanmar. They have to just hang in there, in due time these movements will grow, they will expand, and finally it will culminate with them liberating Naypyidaw and Yangon. History has proven the will of the people is the strongest. These liberators just have to keep fighting to that goal. The good people of this world support you.
God bless these brave warriors fighting for their freedom
Respects Bro !! 🙏
