Another article from the @civilwarsjournal.bsky.social special issue (see last RT) that is well worth a read is "’The Only Option’? Cyber Scams, Civilian Survival and Civil War in the Thai–Myanmar Borderland" by @shonaloong.bsky.social & Laure Siegel.

Noteable that @davidbrenner.bsky.social gets cited in both papers. His book Rebel Politics: A Political Sociology of Armed Struggle in Myanmar's Borderlands was really useful to me to get a better understanding of the Kachin & Karen resistance (prior to coup).
