Latent tensions among #Myanmar resistance groups Since the 2021 coup, clashes between resistance groups have been recorded in nine of Myanmar’s 14 states and regions. These include confrontations among established Ethnic Armed Organizations (EAOs), People’s Defense Forces (PDFs), and Local Defense Forces (LDFs), as well as within their alliances. Key regions of conflict: ▪️ Shan State: 70% of inter-group clashes, driven by competition among established EAOs. ▪️ Sagaing Region: 12%, fueled by resource and public support competition among PDFs and LDFs. ▪️ Chin State: 8%, marked by intense competition between EAO-led LDF alliances. These dynamics reveal both the challenges and opportunities for Myanmar’s resistance movement.
