On March 27th, when Min Aung Hlaing had promised to take back the lost territories, the Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA) and its joint forces occupied Hpapon, Karen State.
In addition, on March 27th, the KIA and its joint forces attacked and occupied six camps, including Yaw Yone Base on Bamho-Lwegel Road, Kachin State, where the junta army had been stationed for 39 years. It was a straight punch to Min Aung Hlaing’s jaw.
However, at the military parade on March 27, which was moved to the evening due to the weather, Min Aung Hlaing talked again with unrelenting perseverance. Min Aung Hlaing had a big mouth, saying he led the way to effectively restore peace and stability in the north of Shan, Kachin, and Rakhine State.
In previous years, every time March 27th came around, Min Aung Hlaing kept saying that he would decisively crush the PDF and ethnic armed organizations that opposed him, so it is not a big deal.
Even so, under the fast-paced attack of Operation 1027, the tenacious defense camps throughout northern Shan and many camps with inscriptions saying, “My camp will fall only if I die,” and 17 towns had to be handed over to the Three-Brotherhood Alliance. In addition, according to the fact that Lashio and Pyin Oo Lwin are about to be lost and that Mandalay may not be safe in the future, bowing to China and forcing a ceasefire in North Shan due to the pressure of China is a permanent shame on Min Aung Hlaing’s face.
Min Aung Hlaing’s chronic army seems decide to give up whenever the Arakan Army attacks in Rakhine State. According to recent battles, Paletwa Town, Chin State, and eight towns in Rakhine State have fallen under AA, and Buthidaung and Maungdaw are close to being lost. Even Sittwe, the capital of Rakhine State, is in a precarious situation.
The offensive by the KIA and its allies, which began on March 7th, has taken over 50 military bases, including battalions and strategic camps, and captured the Chinna-Myanmar border town of Lwejel on March 29th, after more than three weeks.
Lwejel was the first town to be captured during the KIA’s offensive, and the KNLA and joint forces’ operation, which accelerated on March 7, was able to capture Hpapon for the first time. It was also the first town to be occupied by the KNU after the coup.
In addition, the joint forces with the KNLA have raided Kawkareik, and the camp based in Thingan Nyi Naung, which is only 10 miles away from Myawaddy, has reached the point where they will die if they don’t run. They can relentlessly defend revolutionary forces with air strikes. If Thingan Nyi Naung is over, there will be no need to put much effort into capturing Myawaddy.
In the case of Karenni State, the revolutionary forces have already controlled many of the urban areas of the capital city of Loikaw, and not only have they occupied all of Shataw, Mase, Mawchi and Ywa Thit Towns, but about 90 percent of Karenni State’s area has been controlled.
Min Aung Hlaing’s chronic army flees from the battle, except for neighboring Laos, until it reaches China, India, Bangladesh and Thailand. His army was killed and defeated in every battle, but Min Aung Hlaing was living in the Nay Pyi Taw bulletproof glass room saying big things.
However, Min Aung Hlaing only has big talks and will continue them. While talking like that, he will have to pretend his eyes and ears off so that he doesn’t see or hear the defeated. While pretending to be off, it is certain that the time when the people will shout “Min Aung Hlaing has failed” in chorus is slowly approaching.
