What started as violence between the Tatmadaw and demonstrators quickly turned into brutal fightings in many parts of the country between the State Administration Council (SAC) and armed groups such as the Ethnic Armed Organizations (EAOs) and the National Unity Government (NUG) and its armed wing the People’s Defence Force (PDF).
