\ud83d\udccc\ud83d\udccc 1. NUG issues message marking the 50th anniversary of Kachin Martyrs\u2019 Day<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

August 10<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, August 10, marks the 50th anniversary of Kachin Martyrs\u2019 Day, and the National Unity Government (NUG) has issued a commemorative message to honour the occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the message, the NUG extended its best wishes to all Kachin national leaders, Kachin ethnic communities both inside and outside the country, members of the Kachin public, and allied revolutionary forces, praying for their physical health, peace of mind, and the ability to continue fulfilling revolutionary duties free from danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It recalled that Kachin national leaders\u2014General Officer Commanding (GOC) Lahtaw Zau Seng<\/strong>, Vice Chief of Staff (VCS) Lahtaw Zau Tu<\/strong>, and General Secretary Salang Kaba Pungshwi Zau Seng<\/strong>\u2014founded and led the Kachin Independence Organization (KIO)<\/strong> and Kachin Independence Army (KIA)<\/strong> to overthrow dictatorship, secure the right to self-determination, and establish a federal democratic system. While travelling from the KIO\u2019s Foreign Relations Office in Bangkok, Thailand, to a KIA military base in Chiang Mai district, they were assassinated halfway by a group of unscrupulous agents of the dictatorship, sacrificing their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The message stated that this event represented an immense loss for the entire Kachin people and remains a deeply tragic and unforgettable incident. Therefore, August 10 was designated and commemorated as Kachin Martyrs\u2019 Day, which now marks its 50th anniversary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It acknowledged that despite the death of these leaders and the heavy losses suffered, the KIO\/KIA\u2014the vanguard of the Kachin revolution\u2014continued their mission with unity and discipline, demonstrating the strong solidarity of the Kachin people and the far-sighted leadership of their leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NUG also reaffirmed its firm belief that in the current Spring Revolution, Kachin national leaders and revolutionary forces will continue working closely and in solidarity with the NUG and the people across Myanmar to achieve shared revolutionary goals\u2014uprooting military dictatorship, ensuring equality for all nationalities, and building a federal democratic union with full self-determination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the message paid solemn tribute to all Kachin national leaders, martyrs, the Kachin public, and all Kachin revolutionary comrades who have sacrificed their lives, limbs, and well-being\u2014from the struggle for Myanmar\u2019s independence to the current efforts to establish a new federal democratic union\u2014on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Kachin Martyrs\u2019 Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udccc\ud83d\udccc 2. PPNM reports re-arrest of NLD youth leader Ma Moe San Su Kyi under Counter-Terrorism Law Section 52(a)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

August 10<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Political Prisoners Network \u2013 Myanmar (PPNM) announced today that Ma Moe San Su Kyi<\/strong>, Central Youth Leader of the National League for Democracy (NLD), who was released recently under a conditional release order, was re-arrested by the junta on August 7 under Section 52(a) of the Counter-Terrorism Law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ma Moe San Su Kyi was first arrested on May 9, 2021, in Hlaing Township, Yangon, and sentenced to six years\u2019 imprisonment under Sections 505(a) and 17(1). She was initially held in Insein Prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On June 9, 2023, she was transferred from Insein Prison to Thayarwaddy Prison, where she was unjustly detained for more than four years before being released under a conditional release order. However, she was immediately re-arrested at the prison gate and charged under Section 52(a) of the Counter-Terrorism Law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is reported that Ma Moe San Su Kyi is the daughter of U Nyi Pu, the Chief Minister of Rakhine State, who is also unlawfully detained in Insein Prison under the junta\u2019s orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to PPNM records, the military junta has been deliberately re-arresting political prisoners immediately upon their conditional release by charging them under various laws. Including Ma Moe San Su Kyi, a total of 74 individuals<\/strong> have so far been re-arrested in this manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udccc\ud83d\udccc 3. Flooding reported in KIO-controlled areas outside Laiza<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

August 10<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kachin Independence Organization (KIO) Information Department announced on the evening of August 9 that in addition to its headquarters in Laiza, surrounding areas under KIO control have also been affected by flooding, with significant damage reported in multiple IDP camps and villages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to local sources, heavy rains on August 4 and water flowing down from the mountains caused flooding, resulting in casualties and destruction of homes. The affected areas include Daw Hpum Yang<\/strong>, Kone Law<\/strong>, Myothit<\/strong>, and Mai Ja Yang<\/strong>, where IDP camps and villages have been submerged and damaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The KIO noted that Kone Law, Daw Hpum Yang, and Myothit areas have been under Kachin Independence Army (KIA) control since 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was further reported that teachers and students from Kachin State Comprehensive University (KSCU)<\/strong> began collecting donations on August 7 to assist flood victims in Laiza. KSCU Principal Dr. Ko Ko Maung stated that the fundraising is being conducted under the slogan \u201cHelp together as much as we can,\u201d<\/em> and that all proceeds will be handed over to the KIO\u2019s Flood Relief Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The KIO also organised a blessing and prayer ceremony for flood victims, led by its Department of General Administration, on August 8 at the flood-affected IDP camps of Je Yang<\/strong>, Mung Shawa Yang<\/strong>, and Hpum Lum Yang<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udccc\ud83d\udccc 4. KNDF announces indefinite closure of Loikaw\u2013Demoso\u2013Pruso road due to junta artillery attacks and troop movements<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

August 10<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Karenni Nationalities Defence Force (KNDF) announced today that the Loikaw\u2013Demoso\u2013Pruso main road<\/strong> will be closed indefinitely due to the military junta\u2019s artillery shelling and troop offensives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The statement follows renewed clashes in Demoso Township after the junta launched fresh attacks in the wake of Operation 1111<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The KNDF urged the public to refrain from using the Loikaw\u2013Demoso\u2013Pruso road starting August 10, citing on-the-ground military conditions. It said junta forces began offensives into Demoso town on August 8, resulting in direct clashes with resistance forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, junta troops stationed in Pruso Township have been firing artillery along the Demoso\u2013Pruso road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the heightened military tensions, the KNDF said the closure will also apply to connecting side roads linked to the main route, starting August 10, with no time limit for reopening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is reported that aside from junta garrison units\u2014Light Infantry Battalion (LIB) 102<\/strong> and Infantry Battalion (IB) 427<\/strong>\u2014most areas of Demoso Township are under the control of Karenni joint forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
