Since the end of October this year, the situation in Myanmar (thirty years earlier called Burma) has again been the subject of increased attention from world news agencies. Although not as close, of course, as in the cases of armed conflicts in Ukraine, and now in the Middle East.

The Brotherhood Alliance ‘Operation 1027’ in Shan State
The Brotherhood Alliance seized over 30 military outposts in two days of fighting since it launched “Operation 1027” in northern Shan State on Oct. 27. The National Unity Government (NUG)* is cooperating with the Brotherhood Alliance and is preparing the People’s Defense Forces (PDF) in other regions and states to coordinate attacks against the military. Read the latest here.
The point of the attack: It is a route along the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor. and is the main route for transporting goods traded by China and Myanmar through the Muze and Qingshuihe border checkpoints. With an annual trading value of more than 5 billion US dollars, 8 days ago these routes were paralyzed. No one dared to travel through. especially cargo trucks Due to the fact that during normal times there must be transport of goods in and out. Thousands of vehicles follow these routes each day.
*Washington’s, Not Myanmar’s “National Unity Government” (Odysee)
10-06-2022: If we were to believe the corporate media, Australian academic Sean Turnell is an innocent political prisoner being detained by an illegitimate and tyrannical military junta which reversed democratic elections in Myanmar. Like much other reporting from the West following a fraudulent pandemic and gathering international war clouds, this story contains not an iota of truth. The Myanmar military (Tatmadaw) had no choice but to assume control in February 2021 after it became impossible for any party in Myanmar to win an election apart from the US and UK government created National League for Democracy (NLD). Alongside billionaire anti-socialist regime change magnate George Soros, Anglo/US imperialism has waged a subversive decades long sabotage campaign in Myanmar, as part of an incendiary proxy war against both Myanmar’s independence and neighbouring Red China. Sean Turnell was arrested at a hotel in Yangon five days after the February 2021 “election”, while waiting for a car to take him to the city’s international airport. Like a rat deserting a sinking ship, Turnell was clearly planning to flee the country he was supposedly devoted to “assisting”.
