Summary on 22 January
· In the areas of the AA and the KIA, the revolutionary forces have gained control of many junta camps and continue to do so. Despite a temporary ceasefire in Shan North thanks to China, the military junta has had to let go of the towns and camps in other areas.
· PDFs have gained control of most of the upcountry region for a long time. Due to the momentum of Operation 1027, even the poorly armed upcountry PDFs have been able to seize big cities and towns partially and fully. If the junta’s weapons confiscated by the EAOs reach the upcountry PDFs, there would be a quick change.
