The questions whether the battles breaking out in the states of Myanmar are related to the mainland or not are coming out because the people from the mainland are staying in a stable manner although the civilians are being killded and the buildings are being destroyed in the states due to the battles.

The battles breaking out in the states are related to the mainland and most of young people from the mainland go to ethnic revolutionary elements for military trainings, said U Than Soe Naing, Myanmar political analytist, to CNI. "It is related because most of PDFs from the mainland go to EAOs for military trainings, installation and organization. In fact, it is related in a large scale." he said.

Arm conflicts started breaking out in the states shortly after Myanmar gained her independence in 1948 when the people in the mainland were passive and did not actively take part in demanding to end arm conflict. The people from the mainland came to realize arms conflict due to the political landscaping that arose after 1 February 2023, according to some revolutionary elements.

Because of political landscaping that was changed after 1 February 2021, battles have been breaking out between Myanmar Tatmadaw and revolutionary elements Kayin, Kayah, Chin States, Sagaing and Magway Regions.

Local residents in most of the battles areas are displacing and losing rights to education and lacking of security.

The revolution they were currently waging was one depending on the strength of people and they didn't have to comment on those who didn't take part in the revolutio, said a spokesperson from KNDF to CNI.

Their revolution was not just for their state but for the whole country and their revolution was fighting aagainst SAC and dictators. There were many people who took part in the revolution, he added.

More than 9300 battles have broken out between Tatmadaw and EAOs-PDFs allies since 1 February 2021 and most of the battles took place in the states. Consequently the number of IDPs has become over two millions, according to ISP Myanmar.
