The National Democratic Alliance Army (NDAA)[n 1] is an insurgent group in eastern Shan State, Myanmar (Burma).[5] It is the armed wing of the Peace and Solidarity Committee(PSC).
History
The Mong La area had been under the control of several warlords since the 1960s.[6] The NDAA was formed in 1989 after splitting from the former Communist Party of Burma (CPB). The strength of the army is 3,000 to 4,000 men.[2][1]
The NDAA was one of the first groups to sign a ceasefire with the Tatmadaw (Myanmar Armed Forces).[6] After the ceasefire, the area underwent an economic boom, and the NDAA had benefited financially from increased opium harvests and narcotics trafficking.[7] The NDAA declared an opium ban in the Mong La region in 1997 and signed a new ceasefire with the Myanmar government in 2011.[8]
The NDAA maintains close ties with other rebel armed groups that split from the CPB, such as the Myanmar Nationalities Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA), the New Democratic Army - Kachin (NDA-K), and the United Wa State Army (UWSA). In 2008 the UWSA was strongly against giving away the area of Mong Pawk from its control because it serves as a link with its ally, the National Democratic Alliance Army in Mong La.[9]
Notes
- ^ Also known as the National Democratic Alliance Army – Eastern Shan State (NDAA-ESS), Eastern Shan State Army[3] and Mong La group. The name "Mong La group" originates from its headquarters in Shan State Special region 4, colloquially known as Mong La area.[4]
