History
edit
On 14 February 2024, a splinter group named "New Mon State Party (Anti-Military Dictatorship)" announced that they will no longer negotiate with the junta and will be joining hands with the revolutionary forces, effectively declaring war on the junta. This decision was made during the Myanmar civil war.[1][2] The MNLA-AMD and its political wing, the New Mon State Party (Anti-Dictatorship),[3] made up of senior MNLA officials, stated that they had broken away due to junta attacks on Mon areas and would only be active in areas the MNLA was not.[4] On 25 February, the spokesman for the NMSP-AD declared the groups intention to unite with local resistance forces.[5]
