The current internal armed conflict was being led by western countries, Maj-Gen Zaw Min Tun, leader of the Information Team of the Tatmadaw stated on 29th November. 

Those who were killed were only Myanmar citizens due to battles and as a result of civil wars after Myanmar had gained her independence, ,the country has not developed as much as it should, he said.

"Due to the flattery of the subversives who live abroad and Western-leaning media that is based on abroad and rumours, many people were killed. They are Myanmar citizens. Whether the deaths are from the Tatmadaw side or from the enemy side, they are all Myanmar citizens. Myanmar has experienced internal insurgency since it gained her independence and the country has not developed as much as it should. We are still in this whirlpool. Western countries that colonized us led to cause internal conflict in the past. They also are leading the conflict now. Our entire public must be aware of this." said Maj-Gen Zaw Min Tun

Because of political changes after 1st February 2021, armed conflicts have been taking place widely across the country. Due to the battles between the Tatmadaw and some EAOs/PDF joint forces, there are casualties from both sides and also civilian casualties.

If you said that western countries were leading the revolutionary forces who were trying to overthrow the Tatmadaw, you would be wrong, U Kyi Myint, a Myanmar political commentator, told CNI News.

" Western countries are leading? It's unlikely. US has recognized that Myanmar is in China's sphere of influence. The US doesn't interfere as a gentleman's agreement. The NDAA program of the US also didn't implement. It's just blaming those who don't belong because there's nothing to say. It's not right at all." he said.

The battles are breaking out between the Tatmadaw and the revolutionary forces in Kayin, Kayah, Rakhine States, nothern Shan State, Chin State, Sagaing and Magway Regions. 

Although some EAOs, political parties and international organizations are trying to solve the armed conflicts, they haven't been able to solve it yet reportedly.
