Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA)

The capture of the Kyin San Kyawt border gate came as the Chinese military launched live-fire drills along the two countries' border.

The dramatic events of the past month reflect the junta's waning legitimacy, but the battle for the country's future is only just beginning.

The Thais were reportedly victims of human trafficking rescued from online scam centers in Laukkai, in northern Shan State.

The MNDAA says that it is close to capturing Laukkai, the capital of the Kokang region in Shan State, a hub of online gambling and cyber-fraud operations.

The military's long-standing policy of "divide and rule" is breaking down as ethnic resistance groups gain the upper hand across the country.

The steep rise in the number of those displaced reflects the ferocity of the fighting that has taken place since October 27.

Some Myanmar observers hope that the coordinated offensive in Shan State will catalyze wider changes, and even lead to the collapse of the military administration.

The Three Brotherhood Alliance has launched coordinated attacks aimed at dislodging the junta and its allies from strategically important regions of Shan State bordering China.

Upon his death in February, the former communist and drug trafficker received a flood of condolences from Myanmar, China, and beyond.

The junta's worst nightmare is an alliance between the anti-coup movement and ethnic armed groups.

The many unilateral ceasefires seem meaningless -- they have not stopped or even lessened the fighting so far.

Armed opposition groups create their own alternative to the NLD government's Panglong Peace Conference.
