Namkham Town was captured by the TNLA during Operation-1027 launched by the Three Brotherhood Alliance (TNLA, AA and MNDAA).

Regarding that over 100 SSPP troops that were active in Namkham Township were carried to Muse Township by car, CNI News phoned the Information Officers of the SSPP, but  it was not able to contact them.

The campsites stationed by SSPP troops were places captured by the TNLA from the Myanmar Tatmadaw. Moreover, because there were a lot of arms and ammunition there, they were burdens for the public, said Lwe Ye Oo.

" The military camps stationed by the SSPP were places we had to fight and capture from the military council. Because there were military camps like this, collecting more taxes from the public was conducted. Another thing is public safety and raises other concerns. So, both sides negotiated and the SSPP troops had to be sent back." she said.
