News Eye/The military junta in the civil war in northern Myanmar continues to suffer defeat in Lao Cai, and the Wa State fraud market is almost collapsed
(Reporter Wang Qiuyan/Comprehensive Report) China and Myanmar are cracking down on fraud crimes in northern Myanmar, which has triggered a civil war between local armed forces and the Myanmar army. The Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army is gradually moving towards the goal of regaining Lao Cai, the capital of Kokang. “Pankou” (companies engaged in fraud) have almost all been dissolved.
The “10.27 Military Operation” launched by the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA, hereinfollowing referred to as the Alliance Army) has attracted the participation of the Ta’ang National Liberation Army, the Arakan Army, and the Kachin Independence Army. December 3 is the 38th day of the operation.
Most of the victims and suspects in the fraud park surrendered or were arrested
According to reports from the Kokang Information Network, the Allied Forces have continued to make gains in the battle to regain Lao Cai, the capital of Kokang. The northern front has been compressed to the east of Xishan District on the 3rd. The Allied Forces have captured a total of 202 large and small military strongholds of the Myanmar military government. The five towns of Qingshuihe, Menggu, Gunong, Bangsai, and Gongzhang were recovered, as well as the four border ports of Qingshuihe, Menggu, Bangsai, and Golden Triangle.
Sammy, who has been rescuing Taiwanese victims of fraud crimes in northern Myanmar and the Golden Triangle for a long time, said in an overseas phone interview with “Ling Media”: “The upper-level forces in most fraud parks in northern Myanmar are the four major families, working closely with the military government’s local divisions and local armed forces. Each has different connections and benefit sharing. The Allied Forces basically have nothing to do with the fraud park.”
Sammy pointed out that following this wave of raids and fighting, almost all the “Hankou” located in Lao Cai and Wa State have been disbanded, and most of the “Hankou” in Muse have also been disbanded; many victims or suspects of the fraud park, Either surrender or be arrested.
The fighting around Lashio is fierce, but the urban area is calm
Sammy analyzed from years of experience in rescuing fraud victims that 85% of people engage in fraud voluntarily. Although the degree of voluntariness varies, 15% are involuntary, but some of the victims are actually trafficked.
Sammy said: “If there are 1 million people in northern Myanmar working in fraud crimes, 150,000 of them are involuntary, and regarding 50,000 of them are victims of human trafficking. Aren’t these 50,000 people worth saving? “In the process of rescuing victims or helping Taiwanese escape from the fraud complex many times, he had to find ways to pay and resettle them on his own, but he was unable to get reimbursed followingwards.
Now that the war in northern Myanmar has become more intense, fraud zones and handicaps have collapsed, making it even more difficult to escape from such a dangerous situation and return home smoothly. Sammy observed the situation in the war zone and found that “it is common for both sides (local armed forces and the Myanmar Army) to fire rockets at each other, but it is likely that areas 10 meters away will be calm.”
Sammy further said that the development of the civil war in northern Myanmar is different from wars in other regions. It is not a large-scale land battle or air raid. The battle between local armed forces such as the Allied Forces and the Myanmar military government is very regional. Attack on army strongholds.
Sammy used Lashio as an example to explain that the fighting around the town was fierce because local armed forces wanted to cut off the military supplies supply routes on important nearby roads, but the urban area was still fine.
Overseas Chinese in Lashio: The Allied Forces are more considerate of the people
An overseas Chinese who did not want to be named and has lived in Lashio for many years said in a recent overseas telephone interview with “Ling Media”: “Lashio is fine and life is normal.” A reporter from “Ling Media” asked if the scope of the civil war continues to expand. Worried? He replied: “The Allied Forces are more concerned regarding the people. What they are more worried regarding is that once the Myanmar army retreats, it will be even more detrimental to the civilians.”
In response to a report by the Indian right-wing media Swarajya, the Myanmar military government began forcibly recruiting young people in Yangon and Mandalay on the 22nd, triggering panic among hundreds of thousands of residents in these cities. The overseas Chinese pointed out that in order to solve the problem of insufficient troops, the Burmese army would arrest Bamar people to serve as soldiers. As for the arrest of Chinese people, it was not to increase the number of troops, but to serve as hostages for the purpose of threatening and demanding ransom.
