Is the Myanmar junta turning to the infamous Russian Wagner Group of state-sponsored mercenaries for help in its wars against a multitude of armed groups opposing its February 2021 seizure of power? That, at least, is what is being claimed in the 61st bulletin from a Chinese-language website called One Guide that covers the fighting in northern Myanmar.
Thank you for the commentary.
Are you from Myanmar?
I try to follow global events, but the full scale invasion of my country has largely taken up my news/global politics time.
Do you have any good sources on the the current situation, particularly an analysis of the rebel groups.
To me the junta seems like a bunch scoundrels, do the rebel forces offer a viable (democratic, liberal leaning) alternative?
Wikipedia has a good list of the rebel groups. The articles I post will include some analysis of the rebel groups and their allegiances from time to time (like this one has insights).

Cheers, will join the community on politics/news account!
I am sorry to hear about your country. It is ridiculous what Putin is doing. I have Ukrainian friends myself and I feel for you and for them.
Thanks for the kind words!
