🧵 What is going on with Myawaddy – #Myanmar’s key border town with Thailand? A PDF commander told me some surprising things about what’s happened and where things stand. We cover some in this article, and here’s a few more bits... #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar theguardian.com/world/2024/apr…
After Ethnic Armed Organisations liberated large parts of northern Shan, Kachin, Rakhine & Karen States, there should be no doubt that we need to centre the struggle of ethnic nationalities to understand #WhatsHappeninginMyanmar. Let's start with ditching Eurocentric categories!
In @DavBrenner’s #free article, he argues that framing the crisis in Myanmar as a conflict over its political system is insufficient. He unpacks the crisis from a postcolonial angle, revealing how it is a crisis of postcolonial state-building. Read more: doi.org/10.1093/ia/iia…
Page proofs. Looks like this is what I will be doing on my way home from #ISA2024
Early reports of mass surrender Myawaddy's central infantry battalion (275). Word on social media is that 400 troops surrendered Myanmar telecomms have been down there for a while Yesterday, LIB 357 at Than Gan Nyi Naung reportedly fell ,like Lay Kay Kaw a few days ago.

In case you missed it over the long weekend, my colleagues have mapped the Myanmar junta's losses in Rakhine and Shan states here, an unprecedented concession of territory by the Tatmadaw.
The Arakan Army has delivered Myanmar's regime another severe blow and won enough territory to make self-rule in Rakhine a reality. The balance of power in Myanmar has shifted. But the regime isn't done yet. More fighting lies ahead. New from IISS 🧵 myanmar.iiss.org/updates/2024-03
I recently spent two weeks in Karenni and Shan States, Burma, documenting how the war is changing. I met dozens of fighters with a ceaseless drive for freedom. And their clear resolve and strength has been displayed by winning many battles. 1/11 aljazeera.com/news/longform/…
The longest podcast I've ever joined, and I consider it a privilege to share my journey from military quarters to the embrace of democracy. ✊
