On March 11, 2024, the Regional Commander of the Northern Command made an announcement stating a donation of 200 lakhs allocated to spouses of soldiers for defending the base camps in Momauk and Bhamo. This news has been widely spread by military lobbyists. Yet, let us scrutinize the reality.

2nd Forum on Defection and Defiance Movement, hosted by People’s Goal & Freedom Fighter Myanmar, featured 129 participants including military defectors, partners, & civil society leaders, highlighting unwavering dedication to the cause.

In February 2024, for the second time, People's Goal helped distribute basic supports at relevant locations. The second batch consisted of 34 soldiers/polices CDMs, 17 civilian CDMs, and 23 other democracy activists from various sectors, totaling 74 people. We were able to share and support an amount of 20 million kyats for house rent, food and security expenses.

In February, within Karen State, soldiers Nyan Shwe Oo (Private, TATA-××××69) and Aung Lin Naing (Private, TATA-××××47), formerly part of Military Council No (75) Infantry Battalion within KNU Brigade (3), defected to the people's side, armed with full weapons and ammunition. The KNU Brigade (3) warmly received these two soldiers and facilitated their transportation to liberated territories.

7 CDM soldiers from the 3502nd Battalion and 4 police officers and their families in Taung Nu District received 830,000 Kyats in aid on January 27th, thanks to the generous support of the People's Goal.

It is known that the revolutionary forces treat prisoners of war according to international law. Yet, the military not only tortures captured prisoners but also kills innocent civilians. Soldiers must uphold military discipline and international law.

A three-day meeting on defection and the political resistance movement, organized by People's Goal and Freedom Fighter Myanmar, took place virtually via Zoom from January 29 to 31, 2024. Interim President Duwal Shila opened the forum with a televised address.

The event served as a platform for defectors, including soldiers and police officers, to share their experiences and perspectives on supporting the people's movement. Representatives from various international organizations also participated in the discussions.

Myanmar's military, once considered a formidable force, has increasingly found itself facing defeat in the field. This article explores the reasons behind this decline, through the voices of three people with unique perspectives: a defected CDM officer, a CDM corporal's wife, and a former captain still within the military.

Brigadier General Zin Myo Swe, commander of the Military Council's No. (19) Operations Command Headquarters in Chin State's Paletwa region, was captured alive as a prisoner of war on January 12.

Decolonizing the Spring Revolution will require careful analysis of past and present structures of domination and the willingness to let go of outdated narratives.

Let the world hear it loud and clear: the time for the Myanmar military junta to collapse is now.

Disenchanted soldiers, disillusioned by brutality and dwindling morale, are increasingly choosing to abandon the junta's ranks and embrace the cause of the people.
