In the past couple days, MM central regions have been hit by severe floods, destroying multiple villages and towns.
Most affected areas are Mdy, NPT, BGO, & MGY.
Millions of ppl are affected.
SAC has made no effort to even put up a rescue plans. 1/
While sit-tat has been bombing on daily basis, not a single aircraft has been seen to assist in rescue operations. Neither are their troops.
I hv seen dozens of social media post with ppl desperately asking for help while climbing on top of roofs, trees or whatever they hv. 2/
Myanmar is now under national crisis. No foreign media have reported on it yet. A total lack of effort by SAC prove that SAC is NOT a gov that our neighbors believe it to be. 3/
BREAKING: a fascist unknown jet appears to have crashed in Hpruso, Karenni state. Pilots ejected.
Resistance forces found discarded parachute. No bodies found so far.
More details to come.
There are two pilots. Both escaped capture. Sit-tat and resistance forces are scrambling to find the pilots.
Video showing KNDF members shooting down the sit-tat light K8 jet over Karenni region.
The plane later crashed.
BREAKING: MNDAA/ PDF coalition forces have taken control of the border city of Chin Shwe Haw in eastern Shan.
#MyanmarRevolution
The Northern Brotherhood alliance announce the beginning of the Operation 1027.
Multiple coordinated attacks are being reported in Lashio, Thenni, Muse, Nankham, Laukkai.
Seems like the whole northern Shan state is now a battlefield.
THREAD:
Some context for those who's new to #Myanmar.
As we see Sagaing has become the heart of revolution over the past few months. History of Sagaing. 1/
Sagaing, along with Magway and Mandalay regions make up the flatlands of MM. Dry and hot. But also agriculturally productive regions. The great Ayeyarwaddy river flows from north to south. 2/
These region form the birthplace of Burmese culture and identity. From Bagan era to Ava (Inwa) till the last Konbaung dynasty of Burma, all emerged from these region. 3/
The way fascist sit-tat is doing is that they are purposely tanking the economy so that ppl are too busy surviving, unable to support the revolution. Crime waves have taken over the cities. Criminals run ramparts. Junta wants that. 1/ #MyanmarRevolution
We have news that the fascist sit-tat is stocking food supplies for a year. They also hoarded USD reserve. And with force and repression, they can also acquire fuel and medicine for their own institution. They're going into survival mode.2/
All they hv to do now is that to survive longer than the ppl will. When economic hardship set in, ppl can no longer invest in the revolution. Or no more money to support. Then they will restart with anything that left over the country. At least thats the plan. 3/
Time: MAL calculated swift victory and population would eventually accept military rule. Thats why he promised an election within 1 yr but we all know he is dragging. Now hes closer to even abolishing their very own 08 const. 2/
Economic: Myanmar economy dived after coup, dwindling foreign reserve made the MMK valued tanked as much as 50% and still seeing no bottom. Boycotts, sanctions and war deduced state revenue further. Hyperinflation maybe coming soon.3/
