This is not a movie , this is a true current situation in Myanmar I’m praying everyday that’s the world could hear our voice
No, Ukrainian voices are louder than yours.
As another poster said, there are dozens of wars and battles currently going on around the world, big and small, within nations and between nations.
As exceptionally brutal as your war has been --- as was my father's, just a few hundred miles to the east of yours, in northern-eastern Laos, from the late 1950s to the early 70s (a war that killed or maimed most of my father's generation) ---- keep in mind that up to 10M of Ukrainians have been uprooted in their own country, when Trump's gentle and admired MOSCOW KGB friend invaded Ukraine with 250,000 well equipped mondern Russian soldiers, with their most high end fighter jets like Su-35s and nuclear capable bombers.
Russia said it has killed up to 500K Ukrainians NAZIS; the Ukrainians, in turn, said they have killed up to 500K invading Russian Communists, the VERY PEOPLE who are, with the Chinese, supporting the Burmese Junta.
And Ukraine has a 200+ mile borders with POLAND, which is a NATO country.
THAT should tell you you guys are NOT going to receive much help from the outside world. You are, unfortunately, on your own.... because even the US, the EU, and their military organization, NATO, are pretty helpless.... because they are dealing with a powerful, aggressive, and violent country like Russia that has ~50% of the TOTAL NUKES on earth, a country that keeps saying it would use those nukes, if it is put in harms way by NATO...
Again, China, North Korea, India, and Iran are THE BEST OF FRIENDS and ALLIES with Russia.
And China, Iran, India, North Korea, and Russia ARE FRIENDS AND ALLIES with your Junta government....
So, you guys are in for some very rough times.
But history is on your side. If you guys join forces with other ethnics and groups, slowly, with modern technologies including 3D printers, which allow you guys to print drones, with AI... you guys should win in the end.
And the REAL PROBLEM may only, then, begin, since different ethnics that have been persecuted by the Burmese military Junta for decades... they are NOT going to take part in any government, by the majority (like the PDF), that will return them (minority groups) back to second class citizens, as before....
Popular as Aung San Suu Kyi has been, she is old; she's also a British citizen, with a family in Britain, as she married the British ruling class. Her "credit" with the Burmese and with the International community also are running low.
Finding a real Burmese --- from the majority ethnic or from one of the smaller ones --- who has the stature, education, and eloquence that could work out a PLURALISTIC GOVERNANCE SYSTEM binding over 100 ethnic groups of 55M people.... may prove, again, to be YOUR MOST CHALLENGING PROBLEM, even after you've defeated the very tough & brutal Burmese Junta...
TO CIRCLE BACK to the beginning: ----- remember that both Ukrainians and Russians are SLAVIC PEOPLE, originated, both group say, from ancient Kyiv, Ukraine's capital. They have killed and/or wounded up to 500K of the other, in just a little over 2 years of fighting and killing....
Very MUCH MORE DIVERSE BURMESE will NOT have an easier time, again, even if you manage to defeat a brutal military junta, who has terrorized all the various ethnic Burmese for decades, by both persecuting them straight up as well as pitting one of them against the others, to keep them away from the busy/brutal military Junta rulers...
@@kiabtoomlauj6249It’s another bigger issues that they would face up to establish a united government, but I would tell, it may be the last chance of them to liberate themselves from the authoritarian regime. China and to be said it correctly CCP is already being a strongest modern authoritarian regime to show the world how they effectively using technology to control 1.4 billion of people in the world.
These revolutionary people of Mynammar fighting against military should be clear "India is not giving any weapons or any kind of support to dictator military currently operating in Mynammar"
Judging by other coverage by NATO media in other hot spots, this can only be seen as a movie. 🤥
I love Myanmar people ,hope everyone is safe and can live peace with each other ❣️Malaysia

Thank you for your service Arte. You are a source of hope for Myanmar and its people. Glory to Chinland, Karen, Kayah, Kachinland and the People's Defence Forces of NUG."Vox Populi, Vox Dei"
Excellent video. I live in Myanmar, in hiding, with my Burmese fiance and her sister. Many videos I have seen lately either all seem like slight variations of the same video, but essentially all copies of each other, or they are filled with misinformation and outdated information.
This video was very insightful though, it shows a wide range of perspectives and unique angles, all while portraying things in a very accurate manner. Thanks for the great work in helping to show the world what life has become like in Myanmar, this is possibly the best journalistic film I've seen in recent months.
Stay safe, Daniel!
Thank you for supporting democracy alongside us.
Is it possible as a foreigner to join the rebels? But what bothers me a bit is the excessive number of tiktokers and celebrities among freedom fighters 🤔
Stay safe.
Thanks for the voice of concern everyone. We're staying as safe as we can manage!🙏
@@lucassaykitfoo TikTokers in the middle of this war? I can't say I've seen that. As for foreigners joining the rebels, it's certainly possible, but you would need to become fluent in Burmese, and possibly learn the basics of an ethnic minority language. Then of course you would need to go through weeks of all the same training and tests that everyone else has to do to join. However you could likely skip much of that, and likely your need to learn a new language or two to be able to communicate would not be so urgent if you are stationed at the base most of the time. So if you had a high-demand specialized skill like you know trauma medicine and first-aid from being an EMT, or you can assemble and program automated instructions for drones, you're a versatile mechanic who can fix bikes, generators, cars, and more, or you're a chemistry ace who can make an explosive from whatever is lying around the garage, or anything like that, you could easily join.
Second-thought: Or maybe there's a unique rare totally random skill you have that isn't typically a high demand skill for war, you could check and see, or think about it, and see if that can help off the battlefield. Maybe you can train dogs to find a certain scent in only a few days, that could be useful for detecting landmines or tracking an enemy or perhaps graphic design and web advertising skills could be put to use for fundraising purposes. Who knows what your skills could do? There are likely meant ways you can do work for the resistance completely remotely, or at least remotely most of the time.
The area of the footages in this video you see is the Southeast of Myanmar. Scene like this is happening all over the country right now. It's been 4 years but we are so close to gain victory. We marched days by days, we fought inches by inches whatever difficulties we faced. More than thousands of our brothers and sisters of liberty may fallen, we took their memories and wishes for freedom with us and stepping against the SAC which have the biggest Army and military equipments in South East Asia.
The Democracy will prevail.
How can you tell?are they speaking Karen?-im surprised that there isn't more coverage about the war in that area, it's the most accessible part for journalists
I can understand some of them were speaking in Chin, I am from Mizoram North East India and we pray for glory and success of the resistance🙏❤
Indian government supplies the junta with weapons, which was mentioned by the electrician
@DegubigbroTime to declare independence then, whole East Asia and Southeast Asia will support northeastern I think since they're same Mongoloid race unlike typical majority Indian.
Once our brothers in East wins we will gain independence from the indians too

Long Live Myanmar Army..❤️
Thanks you ARTE for your hardwork let to aware and realise the outside world how we struggle for freedom. Pls support us fighting for democracy.
The title "The Rebel Army" should be "The Resistance Army".
Rebel is not a bad word.
In Star Wars the rebel army self identifies as "The Rebel Alliance". Rebel doesn't mean insurgent or aggressor, it just means one fighting against the established status-quo or regime that is in control.
Why don't just look an English dictionary what is the meaning of rebels??????
Rebel is a term used for freedom fighter in some movies, and one is proud to be a rebel against dictator and oppressors.
@@LalaShwanteThey're intelligent people and fight for the democracy for the freedom and they are not stealing shouldn't use this term "REBELS"the truth is the Myanmar army only are stealing the power they should be rebels.
I am from Myanmar. Save Myanmar. Thank you so much ARTE.tv Documentary.
Love those people, wish you freedom and all the best in your future 💙💙💙
Thank you for doing this documentary. It is obviously giving a lot of understanding about the ongoing war in Myanmar. Arte TV must spend some big money for a project like this. I really appreciate what Arte TV had done.
This video should get millions of views and I hope the world know our situation better and help us
Ohh my....
These people, both fighter's & everyday people, are brave & smart. The way they are treated by the junta is despicable & i feel so much for them❤
Much appreciate for the journalist.. balls of steel 🙏🏻
Very sad to see... love from Nepal 🇳🇵🙏🏻to Myanmar and it's people 🙏🏻..God bless you all
This is true story of Myanmar thank
you 😢
Thanks you for documentary of the situation in Myanmar. I am the HongKonger who supported freedom and democracy, but I must tell the world that even Hong Kong one of the most modern City in the world is now turning into authoritarianism due to China’s grip. From this point, we can observe that democracy and our liberty had been stepped back but authoritarian regimes were even stronger than before. I was impressed on the fighters to develop their own weapons , even as drones. I really hope to hear your great victory as soon as possible. Myanmar’s fighter voices should be heard by the world especially who still believe democracy can be prevail. Every victory of democracy would affect the world’s trend of democracy, either Myanmar and Ukraine.
Please continue to work for freedom, eric.
What these people need is equal distribution of wealth controlled by Junta( military industrial complex). In USA, we have the best democracy the money can buy;) still people complain but no one is dying in USA or Hong Kong. People in Myanmar are dying in thousands at hands of military Junta and What the greatest democracies in the world have to say about it, Zero.
@@sikandarrana6377 Personalisation and materialism let people in democratic would become selfish and greedy, because people care about their own interests rather than the value of democracy and freedom. The truth of the world is nasty, many are refusing to look for it. As my understanding, most of the people have no interest on about conflict, human history and politics.
@@ericyuen5946 Thank you. Exactly my point. Hence our democracy may not be panacea for all our ills.
@@sikandarrana6377 Democracy means giving power and rights to everyone, but people in such highly information world refuse to learn and look for the politics, then how they can rule their government and give a right decision making, but on the other hand it would not be a problem for people in authoritarian states. We are now in the world can’t live without affecting each others, it is a highly globalised world.Eventually one day , people would be waken, but I hope it wouldn’t be too late.
Thank you especially for the English subtitle. 😊
Ingenuity & bravery of Myanmar's young people is legendary!
27:37 You can see the proof of how the junta army treats the captured against the Geneva convention. Those youths are tortured before burned alive. Even so, UN and those great nations only talks and not a single action has been taken.
That is because Russia and China both have permanent seats on the UN security council and they veto all action.

And the Rohingya...😅😅
@@ImtiazKhan-vk9joyeah the rohinga seem to be popular everywhere don't they?ask Malaysians and Indonesians
Someone I know very well and is in kayin state said that they weren't sure who was worse on either side, so don't believe that everyone is good on one side and bad on the other

Rohingya problem Is Military's Plan
Which part are you from?-Ive been to your country many times and enjoyed the good humour of the people there, the only thing I didn't like when it opened up was the cynical attitude that some of the tourists brought with them to your country
@@ImtiazKhan-vk9jo You don't know anything do you? It's the Junta army that did the genocide. The Myanmar people aren't swinging machete like in Rwanda get yourself informed on this matter before you make such ignorant comment. Also not everyone in myanmar when the genocide happened know about the genocide because the news back then were controlled by the goverment. These Rebels are fghting the same army that did the genocide FYI.
@@ImtiazKhan-vk9joARSA was founded by current Junta leader Min Aung Hlaing. So I'm not sure what your point is here. And I'm quite sure you're a Muslim claiming that karma has struck back. Hence, learn first before uttering crap like your internet j*hadis.
Someday in the future of Myanmar people will fullfil there dream to be free from their own military dictatorship
These reporters are brave enough to go on frontlines with the resistance forces. They are not rebels, they are ethnic militias who have helped train and have fought alongside the People's Defence Force (PDF) which is the militia wing of the National Unity Government (NUG). The NUG is made up of legitimately elected officials from 2020 elections in Myanmar. The NUG and PDF are accepted and recignized as legitimate by the majority of Myanmar people.
You are very very Brave to comnt on CZcams...😅😅
rebel isn't a negative term in english, calling them resistance forces carries essentially the same meaning as calling them rebels.
@accountname9506 The word has a connotation that the government is legitimate. This is what the people of Myanmar are requesting: we are not rebelling a legitimate government, we are resisting an illegitimate coup detat.
@@1xm_mx1 The legitimacy of the regime doesn't have anything to do with it, just that it is/was in power. Americans consider their founders rebels and rather obviously do not believe in the UK's legitimacy over the colonies.
Thank u so much as a Myanmar citizen. All issues in this video should be well informed worldwide.
Thank you for shedding light on our resistance. Praying for the safety of all our comrades and our people.
What goes up comes down...😅
Son's and daughter's of pdf are very very brave.May God blessings be upon them love from Nagaland..
Deep respect for taking news under very dangerous situation!
Thanks a lot for your news!
TQVM Arte and team for making this story possible for the outside world to see as its heartbreaking to see Burmese people suffer so much because of this evil military dictatorship led by MAH.

Thank you.
Thanks!
Well documented. Thanks so much.
Thank you very much for interviewing and presenting the talent of our youth
Thanks ARTE for this truly real video!!!
One of the most beautiful countries in the world. May the struggles be short. To be able to see again the sights and people of this wonderful land .
And one of the richest in natural resources believe it or not
I wish the whole world can be see this video.😢
Myanmar 🇲🇲 would have been the best country in southeast asia if they r fair and democratic country from the beginning of independence from British
Brits typically left a mess when they left.
British should help this group.
@@John-.-Smith111 dude which country is not a mess when a country is conquered by another country especially in war? Is just that Burmese 🇲🇲 gov lies
Not only that, I think, myanmar should give them every rebel province own autonomy and own politic state.. reduce conflict maintaince stability
Under British rule, Burma was the most developed, richest country in all of SE Asia.
God bless 🙏🏼😥 Myanmar people
Very nice documentaries about the courage and bravery of freedom loving people of Myanmar, soon they will see peace and democracy in their country.
Thanks for showing to us these forgotten war❤❤❤
warmest regard for our brothers & sisters who's figthing for DEMOCRACY in MYANMAR! wish you the best from INDONESIA
this is one of the few videos that is unbiased and correctly portrays the actual situaion and aspirations of the Myanmar revolutionaries....viewers will now understand why theyare fighting...they are literally fighting for their lives..and for their future generations..
Excellent journalism by Arte Tv
Thnks for d video
Thank you so much ARTE.tv Documentary 🙏🙏🙏
I don't even think the Myanmar rebels have ever received any foreign weapon aids ever, but it seems to me that they're doing and adopting very well, even modeling the drone operations just like Ukraine has been doing.

Thank you so much 🙏
War till the bitter end ..we travelled through Myanmar with motorbikes 5 years ago.. people was so nice ,,and had a spiritual attitude about a democratic system...sad to see how it is now..
semoga rakyat myanmar bisa memenangkan pertempuran ini.

Real journalism showing the world what is happening around the world. Hopefully they one day will live freely in there own country.
Thank you
These young fighters are very articulate and promising seems to have better future. Pity they have to go through this war.
These young men are hope of Myanmar future. They are not terrorist. They fight military dictator back for our future. They'll trying to get our lost dreams back since 2021coup.
Thank you
미얀마가 평화와 민주주의를 회복하길 기원한다. 참 힘든 삶이다. :(
this kind of war which is internal is underrated but very illustrative of how people's will and determination to truth, humanity, fairness, and justice are sustained and fought for. Given that there is not much sophistication in technology and armaments, their plight could be very much appreciated as regards the genuineness of their circumstances and creativity to learn and to fight in their context. This is not a war like in Gaza or Ukraine, where missiles, fighter planes, and heavy bombs are available at will by those in power and where highly equipped and trained troops were massively deployed. Here, each bullet and quality guns stood along the profound emotions of people to their elemental values in life.
Thank you for this Arte, as a fellow uniformed serviceman in an Asian country I respect the resistance and the PDF. Fight well brothers in arms!
Myanmar peoples have good heart.I pray for you all.From Thailand and Malaysia.
Finally the exact word that I'm waiting for is "THE RESISTANCE"
very good documentary
I lived in Myanmar in 2015 during the elections. This time period changed my life and shaped my life since then. The Myanmar or Burmese people are some of the best most resilient incredible people in the world, with unparalleled spirits of freedom comradery and care despite some of the must grueling oppressive goverments and living situations. I right now have seen my young friends there give up their hopes and dreams of education work and so on in order to fight, in many cases with no choice as it was either be drafted to the junta army or join a local faction of the rebels.
I too hope in whatever way is possible, people are aware of this struggle and that victory comes quickly and with as little bloodshed as possible to my friends and family there fighting for freedom after 70 so years of extreme oppression. My prayers.
This is so inspiring, thank you for sharing.
Long live the people of myanmar who love the freedom of there country 🙏❤️❤️🕊️
Bring justice and peace to Myanmar!
Where is western nations and media? This is forgotten war going on we should pay attention.
All internet is shut down, The west would likely paid attention to this as they are probably highly aware of what's going on over there.
The Myanmar people probably have to figure out how to request aid from the west for their military resistance like weapons, food, medicine and other essentials..
We are living in amazing times, democracy is being challenged before our very eyes as autocrats have shown their true colors.
Thank you admins and journalist
Salute 🫡! The best documentary ever! I almost cried at the last guitar tune. Thanks ARTE.tv

I proud of our PDF..

The purpose of the military is to defend its citizens and a country’s territorial sovereignty. When it has become corrupted by power, and turned against its own people. Only death and destruction awaits the military, as the people will rise up against the regime. A country’s military size will always be a small percentage verses an entire country’s population, and when the civilian turn militant against its own military, civilians militias numerical supremacy will always win. Sure, It will be a slow grind for the civilian forces initially, but as the momentum steadily increase in pace, the attrition rate to the military will become unsustainable as they will not be able to replace their dwindling forces. And a military base irregardless how well defended cannot defend attacks from its own citizens, as the militant forces units can hide within the civilian population, and perform surprise attacks anytime.
Ronghias etnic in Malaysia should join this liberation army for their independent state instead of being as unhcr refugees.
#Since day one (Independence from UK) Burma was unable to put into a strong Constitution reflecting ‘Social Values’ listed as:
1. ‘Social Values’ (Equality, Brotherhood Spirit) among multi ‘Ethnic Races’ are not addressed by Army Dictators since day one:
2. Army Dictators (mostly “Burman” Race) behave like they are supreme towards multi ‘Ethnic Races’ living in the country:
3. A strong Constitution (Social Contract between Citizens & Govt) to reflect these social values do not exist till to date 2024.
# Due lack of such a strong Constitution, conflicts broke out between the Army & multi ‘Ethnic Races’
# Now Army coup (Feb ’21) has caused a huge “Social Upheaval” which become too hard to fix back since it become a war between total population (all National Races) against the Army.
# Citizens lost trust in the Army, thru reality, that its intention is to grip onto power anyway, anyhow no matter what.
# With this Army’s mindset (using “force” as only option) and opposition forces who are determined to close Army’s chapter in Burma - that could end up in a Civil War; that is what happens NOW.
