MAH photo op trip and this is the only best picture they can use for the state run media. Go figure. Kudos to those subtly middle finger to him in his face.

None of us born to be a soldier. #myanmarrevolution

Yet another roasted bird. #myanmarrevolution

Can a commander get a good sleep in his fabulous pajamas after capturing the enemy base? Sheesh..

With rainy season right around the corner we can expect less air raid but PDF will not hold back with their ground offensive campaign.

Brothers in Arms (Logistics). #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar #MandalayPDF

Here is the video. The helicopter crashed later and the KIA recovered the remains of the pilot and the helicopter

Psst! Hey kids, you see some drones?

1. This History Thread is about rare earth minerals in Myanmar (Burma) which is significant source of this group of elements, highly sought after for tech products. Mining them has come at environmental cost + political/military ramifications. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar #rareearth

Myanmar Junta is casually using chemical bombs while #ASEAN and #UN hear nothing, see nothing, say nothing.

Like any other conflicts, foreign fighters are also partak in taking down the fascist regime in Myanmar. Good luck boys and girls!

It's getting hot in here. (Context: battle with the Junta's column for two days in Central dry region resulted in 5 body counts and two captured by our resistance Popa Guerilla Force. (April 30, 2025)

‘I stopped counting after three’: the ‘girl sniper’ fighting on the frontline of Myanmar’s civil war The country’s drawn out conflict has seen children recruited as soldiers on all sides. At the age of 18, Anina is a seasoned fighter with a feared reputation in her all-male resistance unit

BBC claims per their sources that Myanmar EAOs are being invited to a meeting in Kuala Lumpur on May 9 & 10 to speak with the Malaysian PM & others.

Source vaguely claims "almost all ethnic armed groups have been invited", though BBC are still contacting EAOs & Malaysian govt for more details.

Sagaing Earthquake has been a month but it dear leader still touring earthquake damaged buildings. Seriously, how long does it take to straighten the file cabinet? #myanmarearyhquake

Just two scouts coming back from the frontlines safe. #myanmar #vivalaresistence

Granny paying respects to the PDF soldiers.

Much respect to our resistance forces. #MyanmarPDF

1/ Russia's Ministry of Health announces "Russia & Myanmar Strengthen Cooperation in Healthcare" inc. "expanding opportunities for training doctors from Myanmar in Russia".

Minister: "Russia is ready to supply medicines to Myanmar" & "medicines developed in Russia are invariably of high quality".

Revolutionaries in Myanmar opened floodgates in the pegu region today with the intent of seriously damaging the SAC’s munitions manufacturing capacity. This could be a significant change in the conflict

Another enjoyable interview from DVB. Though I'm not familiar with Martin, I enjoyed his bit around 9:15 discussing how on many subjects in Myanmar, "everything is anecdote" (including the economy) & the anecdotes will shift entirely depending upon who you're asking & where.

New kndf dance video just dropped. Truly such a beautiful revolution

(autotranslate got flipped around on point 3... think of it more like "To protect the environment, this [the above] is prohibited. If you violate the above rules...")
