What is Myanmar’s Three Brotherhood Alliance that’s resisting the military?

Al Jazeera  

The alliance has seen recent gains over military troops, but its successes are limited. The Arakan Army, an armed ethnic group in Myanmar, said it seized control of a strategic trade town in the west this week, dealing a blow to the generals who led a coup in 2021, and adding to a list of recent army defeats in the country’s continuing civil war. Myanmar’s military seized power from the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi nearly three years ago, triggering mass protests that turned into armed resistance after the army responded with brutal force. The Three Brotherhood Alliance is made up of ethnic armed groups: the Arakan Army, the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army, and the Ta’ang National Liberation Army. Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army : The MNDAA operates near the Chinese border in northern Shan state.
