Myanmar Resistance Groups Form Unified Steering Council for Democratic Union
Myanmar's anti-junta resistance forces announced the formation of a new Steering Council for the Emergence of a Federal Democratic Union on August 13, 2026. This development aims to provide a unified political and military front against the ruling military council. The move comes as the EU pledged an additional 10.5 million euros in humanitarian aid to address the escalating crisis, which has now claimed over 100,000 lives and displaced millions since the 2021 coup.
