Fighters in Chin State making gains against military in Myanmar offensive

In Chin State, Myanmar, armed groups are making significant gains against the ruling military junta, in a bid to overthrow the regime. The town of Tedim has become a focal point for intense fighting, with both sides capturing prisoners of war.

The resistance from these fighters is a clear sign of the ongoing battle for control in Myanmar, where the military junta has faced widespread condemnation for its coup earlier this year. The continued clashes in Chin State highlight the determination of these armed groups to challenge the authority of the ruling regime.

Al Jazeera’s Tony Cheng provides a closer look at the situation on the ground in Chin State, where the dynamics of power are constantly shifting in the face of fierce resistance. As the fighting intensifies, the future of Myanmar remains uncertain, with the outcome of these clashes likely to shape the country’s political landscape in the days to come.
