![Myanmar military reverts to scorched earth tactics, massacres](https://iml-jp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Myanmar-military-reverts-to-scorched-earth-tactics-massacres.jpg)
The spokesperson for the National Unity Government of Myanmar is accusing the military in northwest Myanmar of carrying out massacres of civilians and destroying their homes.
The destruction in the hilltop town of Thantlang, in Chin State, northwestern Myanmar, caused by artillery shells and fires set by Myanmar’s military, appears part of a concerted policy of scorched earth.
The military has not commented on the allegations.
Most of the town’s 10,000 residents have fled across the nearby border into India – powerless to do anything to save their homes.
Drone video – which matches satellite images – shows smoke billowing from the town of Thantlang in Chin State.
Al Jazeera’s Tony Cheng reports from the Thai-Myanmar border.

#Myanmar #MyanmarMassacre #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
Oh the irony, justice is sweet.
You are sick
More weapons to the people to fight the so called military
UN: uuuhhhh…. US? are u there?
US: …… ZZZ….
Other UN member: Can u ask someone else?
European Union can solve this
Now you feel bad? Really? What did you do when the Rohingya minorities were brutally killed and displaced? What is happening in Myanmar today, specifically with the political and religious leaders, is just what they deserve.
China supporting a junta …because china don’t like democracy Myanmar…
Belarus like this
the world just watches this genocide worst are Myanmar’s neighbors who have recognized the fake general
Very simple right? Curse of the innocent Rohingiya minority. Payback time Myanmar Buddhists. Have fun.
Learn about the Country before you make an ignorant comment like this. The Chin State people were attacked long before the Rohingya Genocide. The same Military has been killing Ethnics around the Country.
TAKE OUT THE GENERALS AND JUNTA, AS IN FULL ON ELIMINATION. THEY ARE ANIMALS , NOT HUMAN. THEY ALL DESERVE NOTHING LESS THEN DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!@
FREE THE CITIZENS FROM THE ANIMALS.
This sounds ver familiar
Wait a minute ! I got it : –
Walah : the Zionists have been doing the same exactly 💯 % the same and guess what they’re continuing to do so as we speak…
Where IS UN
The people are cowards it’s been decades and they still haven’t been able to overthrow the military.
why dont you try since you are so confident.
Minaunghlaing: dirlewanger moment
If you don’t care about your fellow minority in your own country then this thing is inevitable
Agree. This is karma i think
US committed more war crimes than any other countries.
Makes me remember ROHINGIYAN GENOCIDE….these people facilated and apreciated genocide of fellow countrymen…didnt see any civil society standing for rohingiyas…sad to see whats happening now
Remember Karen genocid. Nobody do anything.
@FastHero101 even these Karen didn’t stand up against Rohingiyan genocide.
The UN Should be on top of this. Brutal Dictatorship…
Where’s USA? They will only help if there are resources they can steal such as oil etc!
karma
Who can get rid of criminal general Min Aung Hlaing who became a ruthless dictator in Burma after Than Shwe who placed Aung San Suu Kyi under house arrest for years?
The whole world knows who’s who in Burma.
The easiest way to get rid of Min Aung Hlaing is by means of a top-down inside coup.
Min Aung Hlaing his extreme arrogance and ambition has made him a serious threat to the sustainability of the Tatmadaw regime. With the looming prospect of a loss of power, wealth, and freedom – the other generals could remove Min Aung Hlaing as a means of self-preservation and cooperate with the NUG.
Another possibility would be a bottom-up inside revolt. It’s estimated that less than 50 percent of the Security Forces are fully loyal and committed. Many Tatmadaw personnel and affiliates have a desire to revolt – encouraged by the depth and breadth of the countercoup movement. The Myanmar Security Forces are deeply divided by class and plagued by low morale. The generals operate like feudal kings, primarily focused on enriching themselves and their relatives, while enlisted personnel are paid and treated shabbily.
Law of karma ,what they did with Rohingyas is happening to them… popcorn moment
Law of karma also applies to you through the lies you are telling
@Christiane Vanherck who are you ? I love it! I’ve seen many comments of yours and I gotta say thanks for advocating for what’s right , for standing up for people in Myanmar.
@Mico Graal I’ve been to Myanmar twice and felt a very strong connection with the people and their culture, it touches me deeply to see them suffering. I just have to do something, that’s why I reply to military trolls spreading lies and military propaganda fighting their information combat.
Drug war. Its about drugs. Drug addicts. And opium exports.the government is trying to crack down on drug economies. The narcos want full control.
Mayanmar military is among the worst offender of human rights in the world, first genocide against rohingya and now this, yet we don’t see a lot of actions and sanctions against them
Please do some research before commenting! Many countries imposed sanctions on the junta, their families and their cronies. On December 27, President Joe Biden signed into law the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), this marks a shift in US govt policy on Myanmar. Section 6510 of the $770 billion NDAA calls for “supporting democracy in Burma”. The NDAA explicitly calls on the US govt to “support and legitimize the National Unity Government of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, the civil disobedience movement in Myanmar, and other entities promoting democracy in Burma, while simultaneously denying legitimacy and resources to the Myanmar‘s military junta.” This is a big deal. By law, the US govt now has to support the NUG.
People of Myanmar had been suffering for way too long, through no fault of their own.
My thoughts and prayers go out to long suffering Myanmar people! 🙏 🙏 🙏
What is anyone really going to do about these war crimes of the Burmese Government?
Myanmar terrorists military groups
I hope someday that the Myanmar military is erased.
When they came for the Rohingya, you stayed silent. Now, they have come for you.
they still going after rohingya since you are naive.
They go after everyone. They kill Karen people starting after ww2. Ignorant.
This is India in several years in my opinion. First they went after the vulnerable in a show of nationalism/ religion-ism, then they will go after the “regulars”…
@Solo True overtake what???
@Santhosh V Caste system superiority. If you are a Braham–> you become a judge or doctor. If you are an untouchable, you clean toilets and wash dishes. I am against this is this is against the fact that everyone is made equal.
@Solo True wtf??? Who said that ?? You are not indian right?? Even our president is low caste you fool.
@Santhosh V No, they said your president was Kalki (they made up some fake Nostradamus quatrains that his name was modi).
@Solo True just shut your mouth please. Modi is prime minister he is not president of india🤦🏻♂️. What kalki?? Are you story writter??? Where are you from?? Without knowing nothing about India don’t dare to talk here.
Thank you brandon
The world should arm the rebels seeking to overthrow these military DEMONS, and that is what they ARE.
America, EU, Russia & China every country military all members are busterd. Otherwise it’s not possible here.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Genocide against native Americans and Iraqis, Libyans, Syrians, Vietnamese, Afghans….
Virus attacks it self!
what a shame
This ev:il ang’lo regime propagnda shills crying lies everywhere? Really pathetic human😂😂😂😂
Retribution!!!
nobody talk about America war crime in pakistan drone killing civillian
Could there, possibly, be another narrative to this tragedy?….
What you do That will pay..Men’s Plan and Indeed Allah Plan is great..
Inshallah the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan would arrive soon Myanmar against these evil organizations.
It’s remind me Rohingiyas incident , on that time I saw some news. where Myanmar people was all united against Rohingiyas minority even buddhist monks was and saying stuff like ‘they are Muslim and not looked like us , they don’t even speak like us so they not Myanmar people , they are threat to us ‘ after that we all knows what horrible things happen to Rohingiyas people . And now Rohingiyas gone ,so why are you still complaining .
Liar!!!
The military had been so cruel maybe because they have the blessings of Budhists monks
So there is not a single government/leader anywhere in this world who will go in and really defend the people of Myanmar against a little tin pot General on the world stage!! Some leaders look the other way because it suits their own agenda’s; while others see no profit or strategic gain in it. The world desperately needs Super Heroes.
@Jason Melbaus Once positive action has been taken, it will be followed by positive results.
I’m pretty sure young men from the world are not that enthusiastic to go fight in a far away South Asian War Torn nation.
@Twin Victim These days wars are hi-tech, fighting with large and also smaller drones, etc.
@Christiane Vanherck
It’s not just drones.
Infantry is needed for cleaning operations and fire fights to rescue civilians.
There’s reasons why American soldiers have died in middle eastern countries despite, “Hi-tech” warfare.
@Twin Victim True!
I guess that’s why the US is attempting a different approach with that 2022 National Defense Authorization Act.
This quote basically summed it up:
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
Law n order by any means necessary
Why they killing innocent people?
blind greed for power
You should tell the world more of the suffering of your Arab brothers in the occupied Palestine
Myanmar 🇲🇲 your going to make America 🇺🇸 invade you
Junta Is Kinda Beast
At this stage, UN mean nothing to the people of Myanmar but organization that full with ignorance.
This is called power of time ,
If you turn away from Allah it would be painful punishment
وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَكَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِۖ هُمۡ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ
And those who disbelieve and deny Our signs – those will be companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.”
-Surah Al-Baqarah, Ayah 39
Local military has sold the entire hills to the Chinese army in exchange of ammunition.Ccp wants all the hill tops surrounding India into their fold.
Where is the world human right police United States of America, where is their famous sanction and big guns?
Myanmar version of “The Killing Fields” by fascist military for 60 years. Stop all military coup, tyranny, state terrorism, genocide in the world.
Military coup in Asia, Africa Latin America must be condemned
Myanmar is crazy
Monsters
Commies would love this..
Free Rakhine state. Free Chin State.
Myanmar can’t coexist with its ethnics groups. USA must intervene and help
no one is helping the ethnic people. Where is all the powerful nations. This been going on more than 70 year
The military would not last if Western companies stopped trading with Myanmar.The trouble is China would continue to exploit the countries resources as they never care about human rights
Hai propaganda channel. The modern creator of lies
Peaceful buddhist
Ahead is the crocodile festival 👈👈😏😏…
🤭🤭
American led propaganda??
I believed the Rohingya are smiling at their refugee camp in Bangladesh, at least they are safe in Bangladesh, but for Burmese people they has no place to go as Myanmar is their country. They are being killed inside their own country by their own Buddhist countrymen.
Stay strong Myanmar 🇮🇳❤️
India better sanction Myanmar 🇲🇲 if India wants to influence Myanmar
Hahaha you get what u sowed
Karma.
One bullet through the head of the military commander Min…..that would make them think.
We need more snipers.
I condone the violence use by the undemocratic-military. One death is too many, if we are seeking peace and prosperity in our world.
How many more must die, before we are satisfied as humans?
What are you doing democratic countries to save democracy in Myanmar?????? Ashame your democracy
Myanmar military (Tatmadaw) is the main problem All the ethnic groups must unite and kill all the Myanmar Military Junta then only there will be peace
Myanmar military dictators did this to Karen people too many years 70 years Ka,Ren ethnic people are peaceful people Burmese try to rob them money 💰
As usual aljazeera the voice of terrorists and criminals
When they say politicians in exile. All I can thing is cowards.
Myanmar has little oil so suffering will continue. Otherwise US Forces might show up there under the name of democracy.
The same thing happened to the Rohynga Muslim minorities and they turned a blind eye now it’s them….am not advocating for the violence but all violence should be condemned and fought in equal force irregardless of Race, Nationality or Religion we need a better world for everyone
The military never care about war crime. The important is, control the goverment
Don’t forget that China and Russia are supporting this regime
Go Myanmar 🇲🇲 army 💪!!! Destroy those rebels!
United nations:I am I’m gonna pretend I didn’t see this!
Myanmar military is terrorist and they are traitors to their own country. Just so they need keep themselves in power
UN is useless
No difference between these terrorists and the Israeli Defense Force.
Viva la revolucion!
Well done Myanmar army… This is the same army brutally killed thousands of Muslim Rohingya… But that time these people supported Army… Now accept the consequences….
2:24 there are thousands of civilians telling story’s about airstrikes and you didn’t manage to interview even one of them?
the Junta is literally Pol Pot 2.0, killing it’s own people, funded by China and allowed to exist by the rest of the world.
pathetic pitifull and useless conflict
Nobody can help Myanmar people but the people themselves in the fight for democracy. Bravo to Myanmar people!
It is horrible what this military Junta has done to Myanmar. The foreign companies that have left and the terrorism towards the population. Earlier on they even released criminal from prisons to terrorize the public. ASEAN is so ineffective partly because most ASEAN countries are run by the military already. There are countless examples of crimes against humanity with this military and the world still won’t do anything. China and Russia like to veto anything that deters freedom and democracy.
JUST PRAY THAT THIS JUNTA STAY IN POWER FOREVER,,BUT WHEN THE TIME OF RECKONING COMES MANY WILL HUNG UNTIL DEAD..!!
