Karen Guerrillas Capture Myanmar Army Camp

Ethnic Karen guerrillas burned down a Myanmar military outpost, Friday, May 7, as seen in footage shared by the Karen National Liberation Army.

According to a Karen National Liberation Army officer, the garrison at the camp fled at their approach, allowing the guerillas to take the base without a fight.

The Karen National Union has been fighting for decades for greater autonomy in the region.

It has denounced the military takeover of the government and has given shelter to opposition figures evading arrest.

Myanmar’s military has retaliated to the guerilla attacks with airstrikes, forcing an estimated 50,000 people to evacuate their homes in recent weeks. (AP)

If you fight for a purpose, a cause, you'll definitely win. If you fight to win, you might win the battle but not the war

Hey Don’t use the word “Guerrillas” to our Karen people ok. We are not Guerrillas but we are decent karen people. We have our own language, culture, history, traditions, flag and army. We fight for our own land and Freedom of our people. By using Guerrillas or Rebels mean that you terribly try to insult us🤬

Yea, Myanmar Military captured 100+ rebel bases and won all Battles (Battle of Kawmoora, Battle of Insein, Battle of Manerplaw, Konkang Offensive, Muse Offensive) and you decided to show just the rebels capturing a abandoned base.

Biased journalism

If USA truly care about the freedom and democracy in Myanmar, it should send troops there or at least threat of using force.

[michaeltay]

Well done but they should target the wicked evil and inhuman Army Chief to save Myanmar civilians from suffering. Until and unless he is destroyed, Myanmar citizens will not have good days.

Am I the only one wondering where they got M16s from those guns with the arches look like they were made here in the U.S.A. .

[jacobgraff]

Karen gorlias and JUNTA what's the difference?

[jimmycricket]

Who is funding these people? Where do the weapons and ammunition come from? And why are they fighting? There is usually an outside hand behind such rebel groups. They rarely spring out of nowhere.

[ianjohngonzales]

Would have been better if they caught them monsters as well.

[dummlp]

Karen haha yes very funny the world doesn't revolve around America
