We need to get ready d of Junta and we are in the process so far. Many of Myanmar PDF, joined with The Arakan army and they are in progress to capture key supply lines . Currently junta at heavy losses and both southern and eastern areas are in control of PDF and Arakan army .

We are in progress to restore democracy but a lot of us are suffering. No western power help us. We are mostly on our own.

And narrative of EOA being funded by China, Thailand, India is false. EOA had nad alliance and bargain with those nation to, they have to buy the weapons and do the trades but none of them funded and controlled by those bigger powers ( MNDAA tho, had unfortunately had to bow down to china after threat of elimination if they don't broker peace deal with Myanmar military after their leader got captured by CCP during call for a meeting for peace talk)

It you want to know more details please ask a local. Many western media rarely have an ideal of what's going on.

I agree to a certain extent. The EOAs were created by individual Myanmarese who faced the brunt of the regime (a major reason as you mentioned behind the PDF movement), but at least in Chin, Saigang, and Kachin the EOAs do have to collaborate closely with India or China (Intel, weapons, medical care) because they have significant investments which changes the calculus, and worst case justify limited cross-border interventions (but both Chinese and Indian have done so a number of times)

Absolutely. I think what the PDFs are doing is extremely difficult and admirable, but a lot of the EOAs are not necessarily aligned with the PDF movement and in a lot of cases collaborated with the Junta.

>EAOs relying on India and china They have to buy arms, that don't come without deals.

Not a lot, just a few. Pa O and Karen BGF are only supporter. SSA is neutral. It's like only 2 of of 100 actually.
