Summary on 15 May

• The relations between the NUG and international leaders put pressure on the military junta, which had to release statements with condemnation against them.

Supposedly, they might lose opportunity to join even such kinds of meeting later.
• KNU warned the junta armed forces to leave the areas under their control. In the past, the military junta used to respond to such warnings at once. However, the junta armed forces have to lie low now. Judging from that, they might have fewer forces.

In addition to air strikes at the time of their loss, they have been setting fire to villages, robbing of things and killing local people. As for the public, they should contribute as much as possible to Sagaing PDFs.
