The fighting between government forces and ethnic Karen armed groups have forced thousands of refugees to escape over the border into Thailand.
The fighters for independence are facing a fully equipped modern army with heavy artillery and air support.
And despite being outgunned, the morale of Karen fighters appears to be high.
The Thai military is now considerably more relaxed, and the fighting appears to have moved away. But they are still monitoring very closely, watching anyone who goes up to the border.
Inside Myanmar, an estimated 20,000 people have been displaced by the fighting.

Wtf is your problem?
This is just not true
india is not a good today. Everyday innocent people are killing.if I am wrong please search on YouTube over India.
This is a fake profile picture and a deceptive account name of a non-Indian troll.
Tatmadaw confused on why Burmese citizens and protesters joining rebel groups proves that these military groups (i.e the Tatmadaw) are DUMB AND STUPID
… Does opium have anything to do with this?
Myanmar try to occupy Karen ethnic land unacceptable
May they never reconcile because they annihilated thousands of Rohinga so badly
never reconcile? guess you dont care about the remaining rohingya that live in rakhine state then.
This is vile and evil . Is that the intent the Muslim world wish for mynmmar
This is a military troll hiding behind a fake Muslim account name.
@Waiwa S 🤔 i thout Buddhists believe in karma
i pray for that only one day on earth where they’ll be no fights between humans …🙏it was Afghans ethiopians its Burmese not to say all the regional conflicts in Africa , mid Asia ,china … alot and alot …just to remind the only true law that works on earth is LOVE 😔
War is just a nature of life, do you see every animals fight in every where, war helps control the population growth
@Kiemas Muhammad Naufal Elsinaz animals are lot less intellectual than us ….we humans have a much bigger room for diplomacy and better solutions than war,,, you mean that’s reason the victims of war are always the impoverished ones ?,hence we will be dump carrying arms for controlling your own generational population , if its the reason behind
We , Myanmar citizens, don’t want the war too. But this fascist military only understands the language of guns . We have nothing to lose but our chains. Will you let the next generation of us to live under the boots of this military or fight back to get better future?
@Hein Thuya Htet Keep fighting bro! And create long lasting “Pax Myanmar”!
@Kiemas Muhammad Naufal Elsinaz Animals don’t fight just to kill like soldiers do, animals kill when they need food.
There are humane ways to control population growth.
The West should arm the rebels
Trade taxes must go to the ethnic state, use the best guerilla tactics against these military terrorist invading ur ancestral land
Merry Christmas courage Karen fighters!!
I m lucky to born in indiA
india under modi is becoming mayanmar.
🥺 a country without toilet
@surgical analysis Still better than Porkistan
@VA Sports and entertainment yeah several genocide happened in india
Nothing new happen to me yet still
🔥💪🔥
Its all about the biggest mineral deposit of rare earth.
West supported aung san su chi and beijing gave this little phol pot the arms and support in international forums.
U r very correct… it’s obviously a war for resources. This’s the Westerners old tactic in the name of “Covert operation”(secretly sponsoring civil wars, destruction and etc to topple a regime that’s not obedient to their demands and replace it with a puppet leader who’s willing to serve them first … )
@Black only 2 countries in asia who has the biggest reserve of rare earth is malaysia and myanmar. Western countries have been working myanmar for decades now, but the grip of power of china is to much that the west is hesitant to arm the kashin rebels. Little polpot dropping there unguided bombs left and right sponsored by china
@Resistance T1 Myanmar situation is very similar with Ethiopia. Just like Myanmar, there’s a huge oil & gas reserve & other resources in East Africa too. The conflicts we see in Myanmar & Ethiopia are nothing but proxy wars between the west, China and Russia. Obviously, all those big foreign supper powers go to countries like Myanmar and Ethiopia for their own benefits. But, I assure you the Chinese and Russians are NOT as EVIL as the Westerners. I’m an eye witness to see how the west is fueling conflicts & divisions by creating & arming separatist groups in secret.
God help the people of Myanmar and Africa. Finally, watch carefully for the recent News on western media about Myanmar, Ethiopia and Bangladesh. You’ll be surprised to see the similarity of the recent “FAKE” news on these three countries.
@Black actually they are both evil. China can kill its own people. Im an ethnic Chinese who grew up around asia. I know whatd happening in ethopia theres alot of interest and players. One of the player is egypt they got an issue over the huge dam.
Both are evil to be honest it is like choosing sides.
*one community is threat to the whole world 😂 guess it..!!?*
Karen Christians fighting for independence or Buddhist fascists fighting to wipe out minorities?
🖕🇮🇳🖕😂
Merry Christmas????
Happy New Year, May it be safe for brothers and sisters of Myanmar!
In the end it’s another minority trying to split from the country, no different to Syria, Iraq, Ethiopia and any other country battling insurgents.
They are fighting oppression imposed by a military mafia who wants to take charge of the minority their lands to extract and sell natural resources.
people there showing more resistance than Afghans ever did
Legacy of khunsa lives on
they need MANPADS systems.
Clash’s?How about govt troops massacring women and children multiple times.
They have beautiful culture and heritage until alien from the West indoctrinated them with the idea of the Son-of-god nonsense – thus the present trouble.
Freedoms for all has not cost! Stay strong citizens of Myanmar 🇲🇲.
The same junta were supporting the brutal army against the genocide of Rohingyees
No as you sow so shall you reep
Soon the junta will reap the karmic results of sowing seeds of violence.
What you said is English or not?
@Lwin Moe Sorry for my bad English
As I am not a native speaker 🙏🙏
hmm looks like US, China and Russia are not playing proxy war on Myanmar. Let the people of Myanmar fight this out.
The Myanmar army has to stop killing unarmed civilians.
Myanmar is sliding into war. There are crimes against humanity being committed. They need to be brought to the peace table. Myanmar needs humanitarian aid too. Sense of urgency
Report by Human Rights Watch – Myanmar: Junta Blocks Lifesaving Aid – Donors Should Channel Assistance Via Local and Cross-Border Efforts: “Myanmar’s military junta is blocking desperately needed humanitarian aid from reaching millions of displaced people and others at risk. The UN, ASEAN, and concerned governments should press the State Administration Council (SAC) junta to urgently allow aid to reach all those in need. In recent months, the junta and its security forces have imposed new travel restrictions on humanitarian workers, blocked access roads and aid convoys, destroyed non-military supplies, attacked aid workers, and shut down telecommunications services.”
Since 1961 Burma under Military Rule & we in 2021 still under Military Rule May the Resistance fighters Prevail!
Dog country 🤮🇲🇲🐕
God bless good people
Freedom to the rebels fighters! Death to all dictators all over the world! In modern day dictators shouldn’t allowed to be on power!
Who are these alleged “ethnic fighters”?
They are myanmar civil army
@Fox Banana . Is “civil” an ethnic group?
They say ethnic fighters, what ethnicity ?
Why is china helping both the rebels, the junta, and the nld? It doesnt make any sense
What you wrote doesn’t make sense because it’s a conspiracy theory cooked up by your sick mind. Please get some help before it is too late!
Bangladesh needs to make the military more powerful
@Abdo Abdo we can’t get in a war first we need a government who won’t have any corruption motherland will be his first priority. If that government comes everything will become perfect
@Al Mustafizur Rahman Sporsho Agree. But we should increase spending slowly and reduce corruption. Once corruption stops we’ll have more funding. And working conditions must be changed immediately for maximum efficiency and productivity.
@Abdo Abdo I am a Bangladeshi who is being living in Australia since 1995. I was a child when I left Bangladesh. I ended marrying a girl from Bangladesh. And no it wasn’t an arrange marriage. What I like to say is that her uncle is a higher up general for the Bangladesh army. I later learned he used his in law connection to move up the ladder. His father in law is a MP. My brother in law also attained a higher up Navy role through my wife’s uncles. Al lot of her maternal cousins has attained their jobs him. It’s seem like the defence has their hands on civilian matters. From all the parties I have attended, the defence people doesn’t seem capable soldiers. They all looked ok at best but didn’t seem fit or professional. They are all in there to rake money, enjoy the benefits and earn material wealth. Best part is their wives prinned up as farm chickens.
@Typhus1234 I’m bengali too from the UK. Nice to meet you.
Yes it seems that way. Only way to rapidly develop is if we can reduce corruption, like China or Korea. They grew fast through no corruption.
Making education better, and reducing power of military officials is a good place to start.
@Abdo Abdo yes and don’t forget Islamist too.
Dear Editor,
First off all , I like to say , mind your own business.
Don’t follow what they ask you to do.
They means NED and VOA.
In this video, I believe you don’t follow media ethics. You talked about only one side.
I have many things to write about your country.
But I think it is enough for now.
‘In a democracy, people get the government they deserve and they deserve what they get.’
Seems like someone wrote that for you in advance to copy and paste for propaganda 🤷♂️ What is your side of the story? Who has media ethics then?
Believe and deliver, your fight is the fight for the people of mynamar. Your actions during these period of time will be recorded in the history of your country, myanmar, and it will set as a role model for the future generations. Your heart is created not to connect to another human heart but to the “One”, no 3G, 4G, 5G or any G is capable of doing it, not now or in the future. The power and ability of the connection, will enable you to fight with your enemies with self satisfaction.
Bangladesh must annex myanmar land
My support to the people
Myanmar is an absolutely beautiful nation.
Unfortunately the people had been suffering for way too long, through no fault of their own.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all Myanmar people 🙏 🙏 🙏
@Akbar Rana The large majority of people in Myanmar never supported the army. Why would they support their oppressors?
You’re on point. Burma/Myanmar is an absolutely beautiful country. Unfortunately the people had been suffering for way too long, through no fault of their own, way back from Colonialism. My thoughts and prayers go out to all Myanmar people as well 🙏
I agree. Burma would have been much better off without Colonialism. For instance, there’s hardly any Muslim, Hindu or Christian in Myanmar up until Anglo British Colonialism.
I agree. It’s fair to say that many of these tragedies Myanmar is facing today, such as racial ethnic and religious conflicts, started with Colonialism.
‘Anglos caused most of the world’s problems’ ~ David Cameron, former British Prime Minister
@Christiane Vanherck
Neither did they raise any voice against the oppressors. The then lady leader defended the atrocities on innocent minorities.
@Akbar Rana The military are called “oppressors” for a reason, they oppress civilians by arresting, torturing and killing those who raise their voice. Aung San Suu Kyi never defended the atrocities, this is what she said in The Hague: “Mr President, it cannot be ruled out that disproportionate force was used by members of the Defence Services in some cases in disregard of international humanitarian law, or that they did not distinguish clearly enough between ARSA fighters and civilians. There may also have been failures to prevent civilians from looting or destroying property after fighting or in abandoned villages. But these are determinations to be made in the due course of the criminal justice process, not by any individual in the Myanmar Government. Please bear in mind this complex situation and the challenge to sovereignty and security in our country when you are assessing the intent of those who attempted to deal with the rebellion. Surely, under the circumstances, genocidal intent cannot be the only hypothesis.”
Its all about raw rare earth minerals biggesy deposit of rare earth is in Malaysia and myanmar and biggest finish product producer is china. Once western countries got a grip on those raw rare earth china economy will be doom. Rare earth minerals is the important thing now specially we all are hit by thr chip shortage
Bangladesh must arm these ethnic fighters
It’s very very simple. Give them manpads, mortars, and snipers. It’s not hard.
@Fre FLanno Hitler is in the past, wars in Europe have stopped and countries have united. Same thing has to happen in Myanmar, ethnic groups have to unite.
and A10s and F35s and Tanks etc
@The King of Debates M4 and RPG is enough. If we got M4 for every single soldier, we can control the country within a few months because A town which (population is about 20000 ) have more than 2000 troops to fight junta. Our country have more than 300 townships so can you imagine that if we have weapons. But sadly we don’t have weapons.
@Fre FLanno The junta is using heavy weapons such as fighter jets,Tanks,artillery etc,the only way they can be defeated is if all rebel groups unite and use vietnamese guerrilla tactics, i’m 100% sure that the junta will fall in weeks if not days
@The King of Debates Yes I Agreed with you. But the problem is some of the strongest ethnic armed group are not fighting they have already over 80000 soldiers. but they still believe in fake peace process with junta.
It ia dangerous
Good documentry
Western propoganda machine, ur channel.
Karen military must have a access on some buisness just like other ethnic group in able to purchase their needs
Gold mining
Support against Myanmar coup
From: Korea and Japan🇰🇷🇯🇵🇲🇲🤜🇲🇲🪖
Myanmar armed forces need to be destroyed
The Rohingya say hi
We, Burmese people, stand with Karen National Union aka KNU. We have a lot of debts to pay to our Karen brothers and sisters after this revolution. We must win this fight.
@Hein Thuya Htet just another Buddhist Burmese who are intolerant to other religions and ethnic people.
The real bamar and burmese people stands with Tatmadaw and their struggle against the drugs ethnic armies
@Alejandro Garcia alright real burmese please stand up.
@Ye Htoon Are you in Myanmar??
@Alejandro Garcia where real burmese people live? Where they have no tolerance for any other people? Religions? Lolllllll yeah pal not a chance.
Myanmar military win soon.
PDF are always making massacre around the Myanmar. Didn’t western media care this. PDF,NUG, NUCC and other west-backed terrorist killing people daily at least 3 people in many regions. Western medias are waiting for millitary action and publishing it only but ignoring daily murdering making by PDF, NUG, NUCC and western backed terrorists. NGOs is not working with their titles and only working for supplying terrorists and making and taking photos of terrorists’ side.
Myanmar civilians have the right to defend themselves against brutal oppression by the Tatmadaw.
The torture and atrocities inflicted on the Muslim minority in this country were unacceptable. They must be given their land back.
You think only your brotherhood’ lives matter! Nah other minorities have long suffered this cruel acts of MM military for nearly a century. You need to focus crime against humanity not with your personal secular interest on a selected group.
@Paochain Lay 🥺 Cuz The UN describe Rohingya as most prosecuted people in earth
@Paochain Lay
I care only about humanity, but selective outrage is unacceptable. Why didn’t the then leader in the highest position oppose the atrocities on the minorities? Now, she herself is in jail.
Justice will surve …You Maked genocide of Muslim in mynemar..
Nice war. Keep on fighting. Good job 😂😂😂
Federal systems of governance is the way to go for Mynmmar coupled with Democracy. Not Dictatorships Coupled with Unitary Form of Governance.
Tell this to the Myanmar generals!
Who can get rid of criminal general Min Aung Hlaing who became a ruthless dictator in the name of military resurrection?
More soldiers need to defect and join the PDF.
Tony, since you are stationed in BKK, can you report on Hun Sen supporting the Junta and splitting up ASEAN under the instruction of China. Aljazeera should have interview with experts on the future of ASEAN on Myanmar
ROHINGA KARMA FULL AFFECT
When will the military get the full karmic effect of having massacred Rohingya people?
@Christiane Vanherck Fun fact is if Burmese people don’t revolt against the military,the Rohingya left in Rakhine State will get suffer more
@Thu Ta Aung Are you sure that’s a “fun” fact?
The resistance are already losing, this news is outdated, most of the resistance in the cities have been driven out. Now is already final assault against resistance before victory for the military again like last time
Last month more than 740 junta soldiers were killed and almost 370 wounded during 355 shootouts, assassinations and bomb attacks involving ethnic armed forces and the civilian People’s Defense Forces across Myanmar, according to the parallel civilian National Unity Government. Recently, around 25 soldiers based in Dawei Township, Tanintharyi Region, abandoned their posts with their firearms, according to the Intelligence Agency in Tanintharyi, which was formed by soldiers who have joined the civil disobedience movement. Myanmar Now recently reported that 1,500 soldiers had left the military.
Tatmadaw officers who have defected to the CDM say that most soldiers have been demoralised by the brutal suppression of the public they vowed to protect. On top of this, soldiers may see the coup itself as having been staged unnecessarily for the personal interests of the top generals rather than the benefit of the rank and file. Officers who have defected maintain that a split is likely if defections continue at the current rate. Looking at local media reports, it seems like between five and 10 Tatmadaw personnel are deserting every day, most likely the desertion rate is much higher.
ROHINGYA JUSTICE
Is this the same issues that was happening in that Rambo movie? Karen rebels against the government?
The movie was so inaccurate tbh
Be kind, just and do good. That’s how you end wars and build a thriving nation.
I like your messages, I’ve seen your messages in different comment sections.
Could you please give an example of the type of doing good that could have the potential to end these atrocities in Myanmar?
Myanmar civilians kept quiet when their army ethnically cleansed rohingya people and now they r paying a little bit of prize
When will Myanmar soldiers pay the price for having ethnically cleansed Rohingya people?
Junta are stupid…how can you govern a country when you’re people no longer believe the government you lead…common soldiers should start to ask yourself what will happen to your country if no more people believe the government
Tatmadaw officers who defected to the PDF say most soldiers have been demoralised by the brutal suppression of the public they vowed to protect. On top of this, soldiers start to see the coup itself as having been staged unnecessarily for the personal interests of the top generals. Officers who have defected predict that a split is likely if defections continue at the current rate. Looking at local media reports, between 5 and 10 Tatmadaw personnel are deserting every day, most likely the desertion rate is much higher than that.
fight for there land and rights
All ethnic tribes including Bamar ethnic of different religions ( Christian, Buddhist, Islam ), rich and poor, young and old, farmers and workers are unitedly fighting against sneaky mafia military terrorists, fascists in every corner of Myanmar. All people are fighting nonstop for Democracy, Justice and Freedom. New generations have new strategy, new concept, new ideology, new hope to topple junta of mafia tertor military group, racists, socialists, fascists, ultranationalists who bully, cheat, exploit, abuse human rights in Myanmar using guns from cunning China and Russia.

Tatmadaw Against the Anti-Vax Protesters in World!
It’s time the world to stop the junta regime, yesterday was roghingya, afterwards was elected civilian leader, now the civilians thialand border, it’s time that milatry regime in Myanmar to go and at world at large to support
”A bunch of we don’t care” pure Sigma
Why is no body talking about this mass 🐷
My support goes to the Myanmar government and armed forces. May they defeat the separatist Karen terrorists! 🇲🇲 🇲🇲 🇲🇲
It’s hard to muster up the name of a ‘ military ‘ ( rapist boys dressed as soldiers, essentially ) that has covered itself in such a mad, crazed degree of utter disgrace.
At the end of the war, play Happy Christmas by John Lennon! Prayers for you fellow PDF comrades!
oh! those poor kids
This is what the ICC should look into..not the drug war killings. This thing happening in Myanmar is killing of civilians, period. Everyone who opposes the junta is fair game ..a target for execution. A war waged against its own people to control them.
where are the rebels getting their arms … and weapons?
India ?
USA – Through India
Myanmar has a lot of Karen’s.
This’s the Westerners old tactic in the name of “Covert operation”(secretly sponsoring civil wars, destruction and etc to topple a regime that’s not obedient to their demands and replace it with a puppet leader who’s willing to serve them first … )
Greetings, peace and love from the Creator to all good souls everywhere, love and comprehensive tolerance everywhere, greetings ❤❤❤❤🌺🌺🌺🌺
Al Jazeera the island of England
Support junta.
I used to play on the ps3 with a homie named Leo out in mayamar hope he is good
First China’s genocide, they are good at coving up evidence. Now Myanmar. So sad 😢
This is the new Cold War, great power competition.
A little bit of war snacks for 2022
They killed the Rohingyas and now they are suffering themselves…👏👏👏
