Multple Small Updates[edit]

myebon was captured by the aa acording to irrawaddy what are the sources for the area controlled by southern shan state army bordering kayin sate and the pnla area of control around hsihseng the area controlled by the pnla seems generally unclear mabein was also captured by kia and pdf forces the area between shan and kachin state seems inacurate more generally Thomas Van Linge seems to be a very good source for map edit and has his own map that would be good to look at -fireduck420

Shan State Army - South lost some of its northern territory[edit]

According this articles from April and May 2023 on Myanmar Frontier and TNI, Shan State Army - South lost some of its northern territories during conflict with Shan State Army - North, TNLA and UWSA. SSA-S has on the map territories on the far North from its headquarters. This territories conquered SSA-S in 2015, but in 2021 SSA-N, TNLA and UWSA pushed back. The articles do not say exactly how far south SSA-S has been pushed, but it is likely that SSA-S currently controls less territory than shown on the map. 

In the same vein, in 2015 the SSA-S intruded into areas claimed by the SSA-N and TNLA in northern Shan, but in 2021 it was pushed back with overwhelming firepower by their combined forces, aided by the UWSA. It is believed that China also wanted the SSA-S out of northern Shan and gave indirect orders to expel its troops from that territory.

 the RCSS has been forced to retreat from the territories in northern Shan State...Two areas in Shan State came under heavy crossfire during February this year. Fighting broke out between the Restoration Council of Shan State (RCSS) and the combined forces of the Shan State Progress Party (SSPP) and allied Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA) in Namtu, Hsipaw, Kyaukme and Mong Kai townships.

In addition UWSA has control over its discontiguous southern section on the Thai border as well- but I'm not sure of what sources to use to map SSA-S's current control. EmeraldRange (talk) 18:43, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Namkham[edit]

Namkham is not "contested" between KIA and TNLA. They are both anti-government groups and control it jointly, so it should be split dot instead. Can you fix it @EmeraldRange:  ? Borysk5 (talk) 07:39, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Needs Updating[edit]

Pauktaw and Kyaukme have fallen to rebels aswell as alot of the roads around the capital of Chinland (De Jure) Hakha, aswell as Hopang has been transferred to the Wa State, if you have followed the irrawaddy which is probably the best source on this civil war, 77.44.68.140 11:26, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Chinese translations wildly off[edit]

@GoombaKoopa, Over the past few months of editing it, the zh-hant chinese has becoming pretty wildly off. The tool that you used throws the error "This file contains a switch element that contains an element that is not a text element." My understanding is pretty limited, so was wondering if you could help resolve that issue. I'm happy to go in and make the translations myself. EmeraldRange (talk) 21:06, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

27th April[edit]

the area between maybein and mansi should be controlled by kia and not the junta as seen in thomas van lingen map and others probably sumphrabum should be capture by kia also according to van lingen hpakant should also be fully surrounded from nathan ruser https://twitter.com/Nrg8000/status/1783037045478453628/photo/1 -fireduck420 april 27th — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fireduck420 (talk • contribs) 01:33, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

18th of may[edit]

the stuff above still apply there should be fighting in buthidaung maungdaw with the aa and in mansi and momauk plus there should just be more labels on the map something I didn't notice earlier that's on the van lingen map kia should have more control towards homalin not in homalin itself tho and more aa control around maugdaw and buthidaung --Fireduck420 (talk) 05:18, 18 May 2024 (UTC) 19th may buithdaung has also fallen to the aa --Fireduck420 (talk) 02:09, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

KIA Seizes All Junta Posts on Waingmaw-Laiza Road and entering Waingmaw starting the battle for the town. https://www.bnionline.net/en/news/kia-seizes-all-junta-posts-waingmaw-laiza-road-all-access-downtown-waingmaw-under-kia-control

KIA seizes Mansi and Momauk, some bases outsides still remain though, the southern road has been cut of and no junta outposts remain, only KIA bases such as the Han Htet Camp and Si Hkam Gyi Outpost so safe to say its under KIA control.

BGF's[edit]

I support the inclusion of border guard forces in the map but they need to be added to the key summary thing :@EmeraldRange:

also, I think we should add the Kaladan River in Rakhine as it is a pretty important river --Fireduck420 (talk) 02:43, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They are labelled- we decided to put the KNA and NDA-K on the map since they are BGFs with somewhat independent/neutral stances. Other BGFs aren't included since there are dozens of them. Agreed on Kaladan but that's sadly beyond my ability. EmeraldRange (talk) 02:48, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
