Since January the junta has killed at least 33 civilians, including massacring 21 people at a temple in Nam Nein Village on 11 March 2023, in Pinlaung and Pekon townships, in southern Shan State, according to the CSO Shan Human Rights Foundation (SHRF).
The junta moved 3,000 troops from Shan State following meetings between China’s special envoy to Myanmar and ethnic armed groups based along the border with China.
Details of how two villagers were killed and six were tortured by junta troops in Nawngkhio Township, in northern Shan State have been researched and recorded by the NGO, Shan Human Rights Foundation.
In many ways, the future of the Myanmar military junta may well lie in the decisions made by the Ethnic Armed Organizations (EAOs) as 2022 ends and the two-year anniversary of the coup comes into view.
