Junta soldiers manning frequent checkpoints are extorting money from aid workers providing earthquake relief in southern Shan State, whilst also checking that none are evading conscription.

Resistance forces have fully captured Indaw Town in northern Sagaing Region, near the Kachin State border, following nearly eight months of attacks, sources said on April Monday.

Myanmar’s regime conducted airstrikes on Sagaing Region and Kachin State on Thursday, hours after it declared a ceasefire for earthquake relief operations.

Myanmar’s military on Wednesday announced a unilateral ceasefire in its fight against rebels until April 22 to expedite relief and reconstruction efforts after last week’s devastating earthquake, which has killed more than 3,000 people.

NUG has already declared a truce shortly after the earthquake.

Australia on Wednesday said it was providing another $4.5 million, in addition to $1.25 million it had already committed, and had a rapid response team on the ground.

Washington said on the weekend it would provide $2 million in emergency assistance.

Sagaing is the heart of local resistance to military rule after the coup, and the eipcenter of the earthquake. Unlike the professional guerilla armies that rule the border and hills of the country using forced conscription funded by drug and illicit goods trades , Sagaing's PDFs are volunteers using home-made rifles, drones, and 3-D printed guns in opposing the military rule. Predictably the area is receiving scant help from the military junta in rescue operations.
