Pro-Junta-Warazup-Miliz greift Punkt 321 und Yaykantaung-Stützpunkte der Kachin-Unabhängigkeitsarmee an, Brigade. 2, Batt. 14;Myanmar (Birma);13.12.2025; Musik aus Quellen)

Furthermore, this pro-junta group is an exception to the rule that the junta armies are losing big time. One of the few reasons this militia won battles is that many of their members are from the Shanni and Lisu ethnic groups, who have beliefs based on [past experiences](https://web.archive.org/web/20190711143238/https://www.frontiermyanmar.net/en/the-blood-spoke-lisu-deaths-stir-unrest-in-kachin/) that the fall of the junta would lead to genocide. While the resistance are not pure angels, the [Shanni Nationalities Army ](https://web.archive.org/web/20210709060433/https://www.irrawaddy.com/news/burma/ethnic-shanni-military-leader-assassinated-by-junta-group-claims.html)was once against the junta, but [switched sides ](https://archive.ph/Fwifi)due to these fears against the KIA. SNA also [committed war crimes](https://www.rfa.org/english/news/myanmar/myanmar-sezin-killings-11162023100324.html).

Edit: Warazup also has rebel turncoats as evidenced by the use of Thai-style woodland camo with the Burmese flag; they also use the KIA-made Type 56s with M203s, Type 81s, and the M320 clones.
