As predicted, after the ceasefire in northern Shan State, the Military Commission has moved troops and launched a massive offensive in other areas. The most visible areas at present are the northern areas of Chin State and Mandalay Region. The Military Commission’s counter-offensive, which began around April this year, has reached a certain extent by November. During this period, it has achieved military successes in northern Shan State and Karen State. It is continuing to launch offensives in Karenni State, Chin State, Mandalay Region, and Sagaing Region. In Kachin State, neither side has gained an advantage. The Military Commission will continue to try to regain the lost territories before the elections at the end of this year.
