China is biggest problem for democracy
You are so wrong ,your comment is ridiculous and completely false , you are clueless and duluded.
Zionist Judeo-Christian unholy alliances /the so-called West is the biggest problem ,they invented democracy, colonisation, racism ,extrimism ,terrorism they are the root of all evil.
Both China and US are problem and also Russia
@@Lin-zc3hk You are wrong, mostly USA and UK are involved.
@@MuhammadAli-vp7qt I live in Myanmar. I know they all are .
For sure there’s a country that supports this rebels
Even in Myanmar may be 70 or 80 percent support the rebel
Not the Western country
@@jacksonpark6470 But they support NUG tho
@@BadBoy-mk3ib95%
Main supporters are China and USA .
These civilians took part in Rohingya exodus. How does it feel now?
Good 🇧🇩
0:01 hey why are they burning down the Myanmar flag?? Omg that’s soo cruel. What’s happening???
Then search the history. Don’t judge quickly. That flag is technically illegal. It was designed and made by junta.
Because they are retaking their land back. Just Freedom’s fighter
Once Myanmar is free from MAL army then people of Myanmar will created our own flag that represent everyone in Myanmar❤❤
PRAY FOR EACH AND EVERY OPPRESSED NATION … I SUPPORT REBELS EVERYWHERE BECAUSE MOSTLY THE ARE RIGHT … PRAY FOR PALESTINE AND KASHMIR 😊
As a Burmese, I don’t even like that flag which was created by military army.
Al Jazeera as usual supports and defends western powers arming rebels and fighting proxy wars to destroy countries and maintain their hegemony all across the globe, and then wonder why the same powers are able to do whatever they want in places like Palestine.
Im not really buying this news
Somehow every war news usually not reflecting reality of what really happened on the field
This is true and I am Karen . Karen land or Karen state belong to knu knla and Karen people . Ours people have been fighting for freedom and to liberate our people for dictatorship regime.
RAMBO movie put the KAREN. It becomes popularized in the news.
There are lots powerful rebels.
What if the is government overthrown. ?
Rebels rules?
Rebles fighting each other?
Power is human hunger, who will the power.?
How many rebels are there in Burma.?
Do you think they will all come togather peacefully after the government fall?
Karen National Liberation Army is strong since 1949 ❤💪 they’re not rebel army and don’t misunderstand the ethnic group armed forces. They’re revolutionary army and freedom fighters who fought against the communists regime since 1949/1950. The Karen President Saw Ba Oo Gyi created the KNLA because he wants to free his people from the brutal Burma regime.
Rebel is not a bad word. Terrorist is a bad word.
Yes, They are very big army and great fighters. They also has deep relationship and love Thailand,. The Karen people also raised the Thai flag along with their flag when they conquered cities.
For the group currently in power, that’s a rebel, do you think individuals have the ability to define who is a rebel?
@@somaelselino7627 It’s the western etymology branding anyone who goes against their degraded values as rebels or terrorists.
Joy Bangladesh
Unite with Bangladesh?
Naga special Adminstrater Zone will be India soon😊
The biggest democracy on planet Earth and BJP Prime Minister Modi silent about Myanmar 🇲🇲 military coup. What an irony
Selling arms to junta for profits what we can expect from india dirty country😂
modi still supplying arm to junta
that more irony
more interested in promoting Hindu nationalism and himself
@@mitsunori222000don’t forget Ardani handouts 😅😅😅
Because he is becoming next Putin 😁
Every faction thinks they are correct, and craves for power. THat’s why war never ends.
Luckily all the major Rebels group aligned with NUG
Please show crisis in Rakhine State of Myanmar
The result of the coupe detat of junta… if the civilian government restored, it will not happen like this..
That not even civil war, I hate when they call civil war. The Karen government fight with Burma government there is 2 different governments. Karen people betrayed by British and USA
Nope, Myawaddy is still under junta, everyone knew, don’t lie, I’m not supporter of junta but lie is a lie
Is name of burma is myanmar now? If yes then how much time ago it was changed i didn’t know?
10+ years
@@mickbotcast more than 50 years, changed by dictator Ni Win
@@mickbotcast thanks
KNU❤️❤️❤️👍
Man this reporter is soooooo Late on the scenes.. this has happened and reported almost 10 days ago 😅😅😅.
Whoever hored this reporter must be the easiest Boss to work for.
Only 1 tank destroyed and they call it an army push? Doesn’t sound like a significant push.
Military juntas have low morale. That’s why they fall back when their arrow head is broken. They have to rely on air superiority to push, otherwise it won’t work. The column is supposed to have around 300 manpower but it’s difficult to see the real number since even on the reported paper of military juntas is still exaggerated for corruption .
One tank destroyed=whole Myanmar army runs like babies. They’re cowards. That’s why it’s a big push.
You don’t know nothing about our country shut up
This war will never end believe me unless each ethnic gets their own autonomy. Greeds and power has taken over the country and it doesn’t matter who is in power.
Karen Armys are not rebels they’re protect their people and they’re hero
That’s looks some good gear. There is huge funding and probably some state funding behind this.

EAOs, ethnic armed groups of Myanmar are not rebels, they are supported by the peoples of Myanmar.
We need our motherland back
