In a recent statement on the second anniversary of its “People’s Defensive War,” the National Unity Government (NUG) of Myanmar claimed that resistance forces have successfully killed over 30,000 Burma Army personnel. The NUG also reported that 3,235 of its troops and 10,536 police officers have defected, with 400 of them joining the People’s Defense Force (PDF).
The NUG’s assertion of such high casualties among the Burma Army is a significant claim that highlights the ongoing violence and conflict in Myanmar. The country has been in turmoil since a military coup in February 2021, with pro-democracy protesters and ethnic armed groups engaging in resistance against the military junta.
The NUG, formed by elected lawmakers who were ousted by the coup, has been striving to establish itself as a legitimate governing body, aiming to challenge the authority of the military regime. The PDF, composed of defected security personnel and civilian volunteers, has been at the forefront of the resistance movement, actively fighting against the Burma Army.
While the NUG’s claim of 30,000 Burma Army casualties cannot be independently verified, it underscores the intensity of the conflict and the determination of the resistance forces. The ongoing violence has resulted in a significant loss of life and displacement of thousands of civilians, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in Myanmar.
As the situation in Myanmar continues to unfold, it is crucial for the international community to closely monitor and address the escalating violence, ensuring the protection of civilian lives and the restoration of democracy in the country..
