Summary on 8th September

• As most foreign investors left the country after the coup, the military junta had very few sources of income in foreign currency. Therefore, they made arrangements to make money from the agriculture and livestock sector. They also amended the fishery law so that the central administration could control the current source of income. Thus, the region could no longer manage all the money earned from fishery sector. Consequently, top leaders would make direct controls to foreign investments in fishery sector. Like before, they might prioritize their self-interest rather than the interest of the country.
• Throughout the country, there were more activities of guerrilla revolution, rather than public protests. In Mandalay, various rallies protested against the military dictatorship. As for Sagaing, they had armed revolution all over the region. In other states and regions, there were activities of guerrilla revolution.
• In Dawei, there were battles between KNU forces and the junta armed forces. It was a new fighting area between them after the announcement of the NUG. In Kayar (Karenni) State, there were frequent battles between the junta army and a combined force of KA+KNDF.
