FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Resistance group repels junta troops in key town battle - Caught on Camera

Resistance group repels junta troops from key town Myawaddy.

A resistance group fighting against Burma's military rule successfully repelled an attempt by junta troops to advance on the key town of Myawaddy along the Thai border. The town was seized by rebels last week, and reinforcements of junta forces had been trying to advance on Myawaddy for days but were pushed back in a battle about 40 kilometers away.

The Karen National Union (KNU) spokesperson, Saw Taw Nee, stated that the KNU's forces had been blocking and intercepting the junta troops, making it difficult for them to advance. The KNU-led coalition of anti-junta forces took control of Myawaddy from military rule on Thursday.
