Refugees trickle home as TNLA reports more clashes
Fighting flared in northern Shan State on 7 February and while tensions remain high between the belligerents – the Restoration Council of the Shan State/Shan State Army-South (RCSS/SSA), the Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA) and the Tatmadaw – clashes have only been sporadic in the past week.
The Tatmadaw has instructed both the RCSS and TNLA to pull back to their territorial boundaries prior to the fighting, and warned that it would launch a “clearance” operation against them if they refuse.
