Myanmar’s Soldier-Spies Shift Balance in Pro-Democracy Uprising
A recent BBC investigation reveals that Myanmar’s military is losing control, with many soldiers secretly working for pro-democracy rebels. Spies known as ‘Watermelons’ are leaking crucial military information, aiding resistance forces in their struggle against the junta. The report highlights the growing collaboration between ethnic armies and civilian militia groups, pushing the military to the brink of losing its grip on the country’s territory. Despite facing significant danger, these spies continue to contribute to the revolt, driven by personal motivations and a desire for change.
