"This struggle is not a civil war. It is a revolutionary struggle to extricate the military from the country’s politics on a permanent basis." Op-ed by Dr Zaw Wai Zaw Minister of Health of the legit gov @NUGMyanmar #Myanmar #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar thediplomat.com/2023/07/what-a…

The Kachin Independence Army (KIA) has successfully seized an armored tank from the junta army, marking a significant victory in their complete takeover of multiple junta military outposts in Kachin State, Myanmar. Fighting between the junta regime forces and KIA backed by its allied People Defense Force has been reportedly intensified in Hpakant area and other parts of the country's northern state.

Myanmar becomes country with highest number of landmine casualties globally DMG Newsroom 4 April 2026, Yangon Myanmar has been identified as the country with the highest number of casualties caused by landmines globally in 2024, according to the 2025 Landmine Monitor report. In 2024, a total of 6,279 people were killed or injured by landmines and explosive remnants of war in Myanmar, marking the highest casualty rate since 2020. Following Myanmar, Syria recorded the second highest number of casualties with 1,015 people affected. Afghanistan reported 624 casualties and Ukraine had 293 casualties. Since most people in Myanmar rely on agriculture and livestock farming which requires traveling into forests and mountains, they face the greatest risk from landmines. Men working in farming, livestock, and forestry, as well as internally displaced persons and people returning to their homes, are the primary groups at risk. Casualties caused by locally manufactured mines reached 2,077 people, and casualties from factory produced mines have tripled compared to figures from 2020. The report mentions that two more countries joined the Mine Ban Treaty in 2025, bringing the total number of member states to 166. Mine clearance operations in 2024 covered a total area of 1,114 square kilometers, resulting in the destruction of 105,640 anti-personnel mines. However, landmine threats persist in 57 countries worldwide, and 32 countries have yet to complete their mine clearance processes. Since 2024, only five countries have successfully completed their mine clearance operations, indicating that much work remains. The report highlights that landmine awareness education is a crucial part of prevention efforts, and member states responsible for mine clearance have been conducting awareness programs. The 2025 Landmine Monitor report urges countries to join and cooperate with the Mine Ban Treaty, as landmines and unexploded remnants of war continue to threaten the lives of the public.

Hostage diplomacy: Is the Myanmar military weaponizing foreign trafficking victims to gain leverage over ASEAN around its sham election? @inquirerdotnet reports on the challenges faced by Filipino victims struggling to return from Myanmar globalnation.inquirer.net/310919/78-fili…

Best news today. Khamenei was a key supporter of the military junta #Myanmar since 2022: drone engines, missiles & parts, over hundreds of thousands of jet fuel for the airstrikes targeting civilians. Solidarity with Iranian people!

This is China’s behaviour everywhere. In Myanmar its support effectively keeps the murderous junta in place.

@shnefftweets @FrontierMM No problem w/ Western values, if only FFM journalists had upheld them. Instead, they pushed an illiberal woke agenda prioritizing social justice and identity politics over democratization, savaging the ASSK gov. Their misplaced priorities perfectly served the military’s interests

@xanthu15 @FrontierMM I genuinely dont think these people would shrug at MI6/CIA involvement in western media. They'd value their insights and perspectives and praise their work in service of western values!

Why are Western journos so sanguine about the military ties of @FrontierMM's past & current majority owner(s)? Would they shrug if Guardian/NYT owners had MI6/CIA links & ran promotional pieces for their spook businesses? It's hypocrisy and lack of journalistic integrity.

The local People Defense Force (PDF) has reportedly eliminated the entire column of junta regime forces in Kawlin township, a significant development in the Sagaing division of Myanmar. The junta regime has, since 07 January, undertaken a large-scale operation involving at least 200 soldiers in the Kawlin area. However, the extensive effort has been thwarted, with the entire force, made up of two battalions, rendered ineffective, as the majority have been eliminated and several soldiers have fled the frontline. A video clip disseminated by the PDF illustrates the bodies of junta soldiers dispersed within a building that appears to have been previously occupied by regime forces. Photo/CJ

@sstrangio @shnefftweets @Myanmar_Now_Eng @FrontierMM Ever heard of hybrid/info warfare? Military-tied guys hire Western wokish activist journos to frame MM politics for Western audiences, just as first elected gov tries to pull it off. What could possibly go wrong? FMM journos are respected by you guys; for us they're useful idiots

@shnefftweets @Myanmar_Now_Eng @FrontierMM A lot of people have respect for Frontier and its work so this may explain it. FWIW I'm not dismissing the connections in the article, but I don't see obvious signs of how it's affected Frontier's editorial output.

Not sure what to think about the @Myanmar_Now_Eng report. I haven't seen much to make me doubt @FrontierMM's independence, and Sonny Swe's background has never really been a secret.

Resistance forces aided by AA troops seized four junta positions in Sagaing’s Kantbalu District between December and early February, killing 96 junta soldiers and capturing 101, said the PDF’s No. 1 Military Region. (Photo: No. 1 Military Region) #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

@FrontierMM is classic info warfare. Targeted at Western audiences👇 Military-linked Frontier hired Western journos who don't understand the pol.dynamics. It's wokish reporting helped to erode Western support for ASSK & muddied the waters pre-coup. Military can't ask for more.

Kachin leader Gun Maw says he dismissed Chinese skepticism about the resistance’s chances of victory, citing China’s own revolutionary past while reaffirming commitment to ousting the junta. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar bit.ly/4rhWWzU

Thank you Ko Swe Win and MyanmarNow for bravely exposing this . We've been saying this for years but people didn't believe or choose not to believe because Frontier was smart enough to employ white boys to run their show. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

The US House on Monday passed the bipartisan BRAVE Burma Act to tighten sanctions on Myanmar’s junta and reinforce US support for the country’s pro‑democracy movement. The bill now moves to the Senate. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

@pyaezone @TostevinM @FrontierMM Western FMM journos will never admit that they were useful idiots in the long game played by the military intelligence. Their naïve, self-righteous, wokish approach to MM's politics and especially ASSK's gov during the Rohingya crisis was a special feast for the military.

@TostevinM @FrontierMM Of course, as a Reuter guy who worked hand in hand with these guys back in Myanmar, you'd say that..

A lot of work on this investigation but it doesn’t seem to find significant fault with @FrontierMM’s published articles. Guess it also serves junta interest when Myanmar’s media turn on each other

@FrontierMM Kean doesn't get the MI game. From the get-go FMM journalism catered to Western woke sensibilities. Their "critical" journos helped undermining intl trust in NLD/ASSK & democratization process, especially during Rohingya crisis. MI & Third Forcers couldn't ask for more. Good job.
