KARENNI STATE – On Karenni Army Day (August 16), Karenni National Progressive Party (KNPP) announced that they are fighting the junta council not only for Karenni’s advantage but also for the entire country to overthrow the junta dictatorship.
KNPP is collaborating with revolutionary forces, including other Ethnic Resistance Organizations (EROs), that were formed against the junta dictatorship after the junta coup in 2021, and they are bravely fighting against the junta forces by working together with civilians for the National Revolution Journey that is not yet finished, said KNPP.
Despite having limited ammunition and forces, Karenni comrades bravely attack the junta forces, resulting in numerous casualties.
The Karenni Army was formed on August 17, 1948. They began as the “Union of Karenni Independent Army – UKISA” but later changed their name to “Karenni Army – KA”.
At the beginning of the Karenni Revolution, they seized Loikaw, Mawchee, Pekhon Towns, etc., but they couldn’t maintain control due to the unbalanced forces.
