Myanmar/Burma civil conflict
- Thread starter flyzies

What this tells me is that the country is a frickin basket case. It is more of a tribal confederation than an actual country. No wonder the junta wants to centralize everything. It is a mess. Anyway I don't get why they took down the government in the first place.
Sure they had stunted development because of the country being like this but at least it wasn't in an actual civil war.

Well, in near future, I think ASEAN will have a lot of new members. If this civil war can't has a unification ending, then we'll have several new countries in today Myanmar Land.
The Junta, as in the old junta, before the 2015 election, were largely responsible for this mess in the first place (although, in many ways it was like this way since its founding)
On another note:
Does the Shan State Army-North (SSPP) actually have any relations with China as claimed here?
Hard to say. The SSPP is turquoise and TNLA is the green on the map I previously posted. The town they surrounded is Lashio. I think the only thing we know is that China doesn't want a full blown civil war in Myanmar right now.
MNDAA captured 32 Myanmar Military Soldiers near the City of Lashio. July 13th.
I think they should have some. They used to oppose the (back in the day) KMT-affiliated Shan Army (South) which was merged with Khun Sa's drug operations.
(As always, correct me if I'm wrong)
