The faces of Kokang's MNDAA

Since 90% of Kokang's population are ethnic Han-Chinese (and their currency is the RMB), their armed struggle against the Tatmadaw is winning a great deal of sympathy inside of the People’s Republic.   Despite people’s misgiving about the MNDAA’s leader Yang Mai-liang, they’d consider foot soldiers of the MNDAA “one of the good guys”, “fighting a good fight”, if internet rants are to be believed.

A  MNDAA solider's salary is 600 RMB a month, they could make three times of that by working as laborers inside of China.

More photos from Kokang.

Judging from those photos, the fight between the Kokang army and the Burma military (Tatmadaw) was done mostly by small arms.









Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) today. Last week, it was reported that after reaching the safety of Yannan, they handed their weapons to the Chinese authority and purchased civilian clothing.
