Four Mon resistance groups unite to defeat military in Mon State

Four Mon armed resistance groups have announced plans to merge to strengthen their opposition to the regime in Naypyidaw, which seized power after the 2021 military coup, according to an announcement on Sunday.

“The Ramanya Joint Military Column will establish a base in a strategically suitable location and carry out military operations within Mon territory. Once the column is formed and roles are assigned, active military campaigns will commence,” said Thiri Mon Chan, the head of public relations and communications for the newly-established Ramanya Joint Military Column.

This move marks a significant step for ethnic armed groups in Mon State. Representatives of the Mon Liberation Army (MLA), the Mon National Liberation Army – Administrative Division (MNLA-AD), the Mon State Defense Force (MSDF), and the Mon State Revolutionary Force (MSRF), convened the meeting in an undisclosed location last week.

Thiri Mon Chan added that the primary aim of this new resistance force is to consolidate efforts against pro-regime groups in Mon State. “By operating as a single, consolidated force, the victories of the Spring Revolution and the national liberation movement will be achieved more effectively.”

The MLA, MNLA-AD, MSDF, and MSRF stated on Jan. 19 that the Ramanya Joint Military Column would establish a unified force for all of Mon State, hoping to incorporate all remaining ethnic armed groups opposing the 2021 coup. “The ultimate goal of forming this joint military column is to integrate all Mon armed resistance forces into a single, unified Mon Army,” stated Thiri Mon Chan.
