The deputy military chief of the Arakan Army (AA), Dr. Nyo Twan Awng, attended an event to commemorate the 34th anniversary of the founding of the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) on March 11.
The AA second-in-command was among the special guests from the Three Brotherhood Alliance who attended the event, according to the Kokang news agency.
The MNDAA was founded on March 11, 1989, by the Kokang national leader Peng Jiasheng.
“After Chairman Peng Jiasheng gave us 100 guns, we took those 100 guns and two RPGs [rocket-propelled grenades] to fight back to our homeland, Arakan, and it was a crucial moment in our revolution,” AA leader Twan Mrat Naing said at a memorial service for the late MNDAA founder on March 29, 2022.
The Arakan Army and Ta’ang National Liberation Army, two members of the Three Brotherhood Alliance, have said they will work together until the Kokang region is completely returned to the hands of the MNDAA, the alliance’s third member.
The Three Brotherhood Alliance members are not signatory to the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA), and are members of the Federal Political Negotiation and Consultative Committee (FPNCC), which is made up of seven northern ethnic armed groups.
