During the Myanmar Civil War, party leaders formed the pro-Tatmadaw "Wuyang People's Militia" to fight the Kachin Independence Army and the People's Defense Forces. This militia, led by U Shwe Min, splintered from the New Democratic Army - Kachin in 2013.[2] Both the youth and the elderly were conscripted into this "people's militia." U Shwe Min led this militia until his death on March 7, 2024.[3] [4][5]
