The situation in northern Myanmar remains tense, with the Kachin Allied Forces continuously engaging in power struggles with various factions.

The new situation in northern Myanmar remains complex! Seeing the latest map, it is clear that the area around Lashio within the Kokang Allied Army is under the control of the Burmese military government. However, the southern region of Lashio is still under the control of the Kokang Allied Army. The Northern Shan State Army has been trying to annex a large area in the south of Lashio with the encouragement and support of the Wa Army and the Burmese government forces, but these attempts have been blocked by the Kokang Allied Army, and no results have been achieved so far.

However, this means that conflicts between the two sides will continue. Although some agreements have been temporarily reached, it is obvious that in the end, they will have to fight, which is inevitable.

Looking at the territory of the Northern Shan State Army, it has been divided into two areas. There is still part of the Northern Shan State Army's territory on the western side of the Democratic Karen Benevolent Army. There were also conflicts between the Democratic Karen Benevolent Army and the Northern Shan State Army in this area. The Democratic Karen Benevolent Army drove out the Northern Shan State Army, but this is not recognized.

The situation in northern Myanmar is now being stirred up by various parties, and it is somewhat chaotic. Although the Burmese military government is unwilling to accept the fact that its controlled area is small, it can't do anything about it because it can't recapture the area.

At the Myanmar Peace Conference held at the end of June, the Kokang Allied Army did not attend, maintaining its inner stubbornness. However, the Wa Army and the Northern Shan State Army sent representatives to attend, showing a clear difference in closeness. The conflict between the Kokang Allied Army and the Burmese military government is not something that can be resolved in a day.

Leaving Lashio City was also a desperate move. Now it is a time of contention for territory in the southern part of Lashio, and it's a matter of seeing who can last the longest and hold onto their territory. Surviving until the end is the real winner.
