Summary on 2nd October

• The military junta explained the reasons for the coup to armed forces and family members in Shan State. At a time of instability due to the military coup and COVID-19 pandemic, they are expecting international tourists for the tourism sector. Such management highlights their stupidity.
• In Sagaing, Kayar, Chin, Kayin, Kachin and Shan North, there were heavy battles. The network between EAOs and PDFs became stronger for military operation. In Sagaing, local PDFs became more and more powerful. They said that they would get started with the fighting to control camps and towns. Assumingly, there would be more severe battles in the region.
• As for the NUG, they have been trying to get better at diplomatic affairs in the international community. They have been putting efforts into opening representative offices in many countries. In addition, they have been working to bring life to their administration.
• It was disheartening to hear that the junta army conducted a violent crackdown on Mandalay Monks’ Union and many monks were injured. Due to the arrests and killing of the military junta, public protests gradually decreased. On the other hand, armed revolution gained momentum and so did clearance activities of junta administrators and informers.
