The scene of the movement against the military coup in Myanmar is no longer just demonstrations and protests that are matched by arrests and shootings. The scene is heading towards an armed confrontation, and it may get bloody unless Myanmar witnesses dialogue and consensus mediated by regional or international mediation that takes it out of the escalating tension since the military coup on the first of February. / Last February.

Faced with the failure of the Myanmar army to retreat from its decisions, the opposition government of national unity - which emerged from what is known as the Representative Committee of the Union Council, which was composed of opposition members and parliamentarians who were elected in the last elections - announced the formation of the People's Defense Army.

She emphasized that this is a first step towards forming a federal army that brings together all nationalities in the country to end the military rule that has lasted for nearly 7 decades.

This step comes to counter the army's violent suppression of the demonstrators, which has claimed the lives of more than 772 people so far, in addition to more than 4,809 political detainees, of whom 3,738 remained in detention until yesterday, according to the statistics of the Aoun Society for Political Prisoners in Thailand.

Many details about this army were not announced by the opposition, but what is known is that the first seed of such an army may be some armed organizations or what is known as the armies of nationalities or minorities living in the eastern, northern and northwestern outskirts of the countries.

Some of these armed organizations have issued more than one statement confirming their rejection of the military coup against the elected parliament, and many demonstrators in the cities are looking forward to those organizations standing by them.

But it is noteworthy that out of about 20 armies or armed organizations in the country that have been fighting the Myanmar army for decades for nationalist political demands, we find that only some of them actually began an armed confrontation with the army bypassing the language of political statements.

Many opposition voices are calling for coordination between the armed organizations of nationalities who reject military rule, as a prelude to any form of unification of their efforts in the face of the Myanmar army, which threatens the possibility of the country sliding towards more armed confrontations in various regions.

Some of those organizations have begun to absorb young people from other nationalities from cities to train them in martial arts and carry weapons in heights far from the influence of the Myanmar army, in addition to housing these national organizations in their areas of hundreds of opponents and demonstrators fleeing the pursuit of the military.

In addition to these national armed organizations, civilians in many areas no longer stand in front of the security services with bare chests, but have begun to manually manufacture what they can confront the army and the police.

And in each state or region a different story, in the heights of Qin State in the northwest of the country, citizens formed local armed groups that used their light hunting weapons to confront the army after suppressing the demonstrators, and actually killed a number of army elements according to local sources, and this met with moral support before Armed organizations in other areas.

Ethnically, while the Bamars constitute about 68% of the country's population and represent the political influence of decades past, the rest, which make up 32% of the population, are distributed among more than 140 nationalities, a proportion of which face different and different forms and levels of official dealing, discrimination, or even persecution, the impact of which is not limited. Only the Rohingya and other Muslim nationalities.

Other nationalities such as the Shan, the Karen, the Moon, the Kachin and the Chen, are demanding through civil organizations, parties and armed organizations that have civil and political rights and a civil federal system that has been their dream since before the independence of the country in the forties of the last century.

Karin and catechin are on top

The movements of the Kachin Independence Army, as well as the Karen National Liberation Army, which is the most prominent armed arm of the Karen National Organization, have emerged during the past weeks, and many confrontations have occurred between these two armed organizations and the Myanmar army in the states of Karen, Shan, Kachin and Bago.

They speak of the heavy losses they inflicted on the Myanmar army, and that they have seized important military areas and points in the border areas.

The confrontations indicate that the Karen are the most visible in their confrontation with the army, in addition to being the oldest armed organization in the country in opposition to the army, regardless of the names of its rule during the past decades.

The information center of the Karen National Union indicates in a statistic published yesterday that from March 27 to the beginning of May this year, 194 soldiers were killed by the Myanmar army in their confrontations with the Karen National Liberation Army, in addition to 220 others were wounded, in exchange for 9 deaths and injuries. 10 more from the Karen National Liberation Army.

According to the Kareni Media Center, the government army responded and carried out dozens of airstrikes and artillery attacks on Karenian army sites, in addition to hundreds of air strikes on cities and residential villages, which resulted in the killing and wounding of dozens of civilians and the destruction of dozens of rural homes.

In addition to the Karen, tension has returned to the state of Kachin (north near the border with China) after years of truce or the cautious calm that it witnessed intermittently during the past two decades, as the Kachin army refused to recognize the legitimacy of the military in ruling the country.

The Myanmar army has strengthened its presence there with thousands of its soldiers to confront the Kachin army, and the Myanmar army - according to the Kachin - fell more than 100 dead and dozens of families, and the confrontations continue in the Kachin state in different regions, and the last thing in the media was the shooting down of the Kachin army of the Myanmar army's helicopter, and filmed citizens. The scene with their phones.

The last armed organizations to join the confrontation of the Myanmar army were the so-called Northern Alliance, consisting of 4 armed organizations present in Shan State. Among them, the National Army for the Liberation of Tang and the National Democratic Alliance of Myanmar have announced attacks on army positions.

Eyewitnesses in the area told local media about the deaths and injuries among the Myanmar army, as a result of those confrontations in recent days.
