Civilians on the sharp end of Myanmar fighter jet strategy – Mizzima

June 19, 2023 Campaign News

The junta rely more on the use of jet fighters and helicopter gunships, reports Mizzima, since the People’s Defence Forces (PDFs) have gained significant ground. Well over 50 per cent of the country is effectively out of the control of the junta and the military have suffered ground troop losses.

Amnesty International’s research for their report “Deadly cargo: exposing the supply chain that fuels war crimes in Myanmar” was carried out in collaboration with Justice for Myanmar and with the support of other civil society organizations, including Burma Campaign UK, all of whom have been vocal on the need to switch off fuel supplies to the junta.
