The Ta’ang National Liberation Army has made a ceasefire deal with Myanmar military under Chinese supervision in Kunming. The TNLA will leave the ruby town of Mogyoke, effectively reversing all its gains from Operation 1027. The junta has restored its position in Shan State.

This pretty much sums up the state of Thai politics right now fulcrum.sg/grand-compro...

Interesting experiment. There’s a lot of talk of AI replacing journalists one day. I asked ChatGPT to write me a 1000 word report on the fighting this year between the Myanmar military and the Arakan Army in Rakhine State. The result was a poorly-written, misleading account full of vague language.

Dramatic video posted by the Arakan Army shows the intensity of the fighting for the last base held by the military in northern Rakhine State Bloody siege ends Myanmar army control of western border www.bbc.com/news/article...

If you happen to be in Bangkok on Monday this is well worth coming to at the Foreign Correspondents’ Club - a remarkable Cold War story by a Thai woman sent to live with Zhou Enlai in 1950s www.fccthai.com/events/456

The ICC issues an arrest warrant for Myanmar Gen. Min Aung Hlaing for crimes against humanity. It needed some skilled legal footwork - Myanmar’s not an ICC signatory, & he’s not likely ever to go to trial. But at least some accountability for the 2017 atrocities against Rohingyas

Important reporting here by Reuters illustrating the great complexity of the conflict in Rakhine State, which has experienced non-stop fighting for more than a year www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...
