The three Brotherhood Alliance (3BA) of armed ethnic organisations has earned success in Myanmar against the troops of the military junta and taken part of the largest state of Shan, including two cities on the border with China, reports Jungle World.
The said goal of the 3BA was to stop the criminal enterprises in cities on the border with China. “The 3BA could never have launched the offensive without informing China and without China’s approval,” says Mark Farmaner, director of Burma Campaign UK.
“So far, the international community thought that the military was unbeatable and that the National Unity Government and the ethnic armed organisations had to negotiate with the junta from a certain point. Now it is conceivable that the military is being hunted out of office.”
