Ethnic Armed Organizations (EAO) who have condemned the February 1 coup and pledged to stand with protesters.
Some two dozen EAOs control various regions of the country although 10 are currently signatories to a Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement. Their involvement would further stretch already thinning security force resources.
Already, a parallel government – the Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH) – has been set up in EAO-controlled areas. The CRPH, composed of elected officials from the ousted National League for Democracy-led (NLD) government, has reportedly begun talks with a number of EAOs.
Earlier this week, the Arakan Army (AA) – a major EAO in the Rohingya-dominated western Rakhine State which has been fighting against armed forces since 2018 – announced its support for the protest movement.
