While there are criticisms of the NUG reform, some news from the PDF has emerged. MDY PDF is earning a lot of money from the gold mines in Thabeikkyin Township that they have occupied. It is said that it is about 7 pishar (viss) of gold per month. In addition, the gold mines are also generating a lot of tax money. This money is more than enough to spend on areas where the revolution is needed. However, they have not yet been able to completely clear the remaining military bases of the military council in Thabeikkyin Township. The military council is now using these bases as a base and is now launching a counterattack.
In Sagaing Region, Wetlet Township, motorists are protesting because the PDFs are illegally collecting taxes from trucks traveling in the area. The drivers are facing difficulties because they are being charged more than one hundred thousand kyats per vehicle. In addition, there are many toll gates on the roads in that area where the PDFs are charging tolls. In other words, they are collecting taxes to the point of burdening the people and there is no visible progress in the military. There are similar reports from other areas of the country. The revolution is becoming weaker as time goes on.
