Following recent general elections in Thailand, influenced heavily by years of US interference, a pro-US proxy regime is poised to take power.

“During that opening ceremony, we conducted the attack. PDF members were killed,” Zaw Min Tun told the military broadcaster Myawaddy, referring to the civilian militias known as People’s Defence Forces.

“According to our ground information we hit the place of their weapons’ storage and that exploded and people died due to that,” he added.
