The military council army that marched to recapture Khampa town in Sagaing Division, which was occupied by the revolutionary forces, was insignificant and had to retreat. The military council forces tried to retake Khampa town with about 200 troops last week. During these days, the fighting around Khampa town was fierce, and the rebels took the children from the orphan school near the town as human shields, so the revolutionary forces had to rescue them. Finally, the revolutionary groups were able to resist successfully, and the rebels had to retreat with many casualties. The military council has not yet been able to effectively recapture the cities they lost across the country. Even the small town of Khampa in Sagaing Division has not yet been able to recapture the towns in northern Shan. Instead of being able to attack the revolutionary groups again, they are in a position to defend themselves so that no more cities are lost.
In northern Shan, the military’s strong strategic hill station near the Muse 105-mile camp was captured by the Northern Alliance. Therefore, the Northern Alliance has been able to control the largest trade zone on the Chinese border. It is known that the military council troops have retreated to Muse and are preparing to defend themselves from the city. As I said yesterday, since we got that strategic hill station, it became easier to continue attacking and conquering Muse City.
