Myanmar Tremors!
Myanmar internal conflict reaches Bangladeshi border, Kokang history reveals a long-standing Han Chinese presence, Insurgents have captured dozens of military outposts in northern Shan State
UPDATE: Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader today sought China's intervention saying the internal conflict in Myanmar has reached the Bangladesh border.
A coordination meeting on the development of Strategic Plans for the implementation of ASEAN Community Vision 2045among relevant ministries of three ASEAN Community Pillars was held at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Nay Pyi Taw on Friday.
Research into Kokang’s history reveals a long-standing Han Chinese presence, dating back to the Ming dynasty. Officially ceded to British Burma in 1897, Kokang’s self-identification and governance remained distinctly Chinese. Even under British symbolic rule, Kokang was effectively governed by local chieftains, preserving its Chinese character. This identity was further reinforced during World War II, when Kokang leaders sought Chinese support against Japanese invasion, leading to the establishment of the Kokang (Anti-Japanese) Defence Force in collaboration with the Chinese Expeditionary Army.
The conflict between Myanmar's armed opposition groups and the ruling military that began in February 2021 has escalated over the last week. And once again, Bangladesh is at the receiving end of intense repercussions.
