Yangon Thu has linked to reports coming in from Myanmar (via Mizimma, in Burmese) talking about infighting between the factions in the army. “The Battalions from Middle Burma and South East Burma are said to have left for Yangon. Rumors are rampant that there is trouble within the Army itself - generals are said to be fighting.”

Yangon Thu has translated reports coming in from Myanmar (via Mizimma, in Burmese) talking about infighting between the factions in the army. “The Battalions from Middle Burma and South East Burma are said to have left for Yangon. Rumors are rampant that there is trouble within the Army itself – generals are said to be fighting.”

Yangon Thu didn’t have to translate. It is all up on Mizzima’s website IN ENGLISH http://www.mizzima.com/MizzimaNews/News/2007/Sep/Demon-28-Sep-%202007.html
