KNDF Vows That Lashio City Will Be Retaken from the Junta

The Karenni Nationalities Defence Force (KNDF) chairman urged resistance forces to cooperate to take back control of Lashio City, after China forced the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) to return the city to the junta.

Khun Bedu, the chairman of the KNDF, said he sympathised with both the MNDAA and the residents of Lashio City in northern Shan State after it was forced to retreat from the city and hand it back to the junta, following heavy pressure from China.
