A rebel group in Myanmar said that its military unit had taken control of a military base in Tin Gan Nyi Naung, near Myawaddy, a strategic trading town on the border with Thailand, over the weekend. If Myawaddy falls under rebel control, it would be a major blow to the military regime, which has been in power for three years but has been gradually losing control of cities and military bases across the country since late last year.
The largest losses are observed in the territories located near the borders with China, India, and Bangladesh.
The rebels said hundreds of officers surrendered and he also confiscated their weapons.
The regime's vulnerability has prompted some neighboring countries to reconsider their strategy to combat Nepidomo.
Thai Prime Minister Sretta Tavisin told Reuters this week that now is the right time to engage with the military leadership, given its weakened position.
The current regime is beginning to lose power, but even in case of defeat, they have power, they have weapons
