WHY THE MTA ARMY HAS TO SURRENDER ARMS ?
The old-age Moe Haing died of diesease in mid 1995 (unknown date of his death) at his Mai Soong Headquarters has been suffering from depression and seriously stress for long time as his Shan patriotic fighters are under pressure of the Chinese army officers who obey the order of Fa Lung.
Moreover,he has been shocked when he was reported about the assassination of his men in frontlines.
But he has not been able to protect them even being the Chairman of the MTA.
He was given 5 million Bhat by Khun Sa, who needs Moe Haing and his senior politicians not to be involved with the MTA military affair, after being signed for the United Forces of the both sides.
Shortly after Moe Haing died, about 300 Shan soldiers under leadership of Maj Yod Suek brokeaway from the joined MTA Force and named his force as Shan United Revolution Army (SURA).
Maj Gun Yod called his force Shan State National Army (SSNA) as 300 Shan troops with full arms are under his command.
The 2 commanders built their bases in different areas and resurrected the prior intention that fighting for freedom.
The 2 Nationalists leaders as being the seperationists and never under the Chinesa commanders since the confederation have been trying to repulse the Chinese Haw army commando for drug-trafficking, who are doudted to have killed the Shan soldiers icluding captains (reported to be more than 100), and forcing them back to border to report their Bosses as the situation has changed.
There are about1,000 Chinese,some of them are sent to Taiwan for military training inorder to serve Khun Sa’s army and about 6,000 Shan troops originally basing in Mahindek borders with Chieng Rai to control drug business and to attack the KMT and the BCP but no aim for Shan autonomy.
Because of this, the Burmese army had never made any military raid in his border base.
The burmese instead raided the Karen Nibase in Mae Hong Son border and the strong base of Karin (KNUP) opposite Mae Sarieng border.
The both bases have decisively been attacked by the Burmese every dried season.
But Khun Sa’s Army has been attacked by the Thai army frequently as 40 times because of his notorious Opium-King.
He was accused to produce heroin and controlling the refinerry bases linking to the border ariea by Thai anti-drug officials.
Thailand is known as transit point of drug transportation to West.
Khun Sa resurges as to gain image of National Patriot, he joined Moe Haing.

Situation in The United Forces of TRA and SUA
To this day there have been no known battles between the Government and MTA headed by Khun Sa-Moe Haing, leading most sources to beleive that Khun Sa has always had a working agreement with the Burmese Rulers.
The MTA is just to guard the opium business and the Burmese do not consider it as a threat. The KMT force was fought and driven from the Thai border opposite Mae Mae Hong Son and Chieng Dao districts in1985.
After that business connection had to be lost between the MTA and BCP for months. Wa tribe force under the BCP’command is fighting with MTA as months long for control of the heroin rutes and the 20 laboratories lining Shan, Lao and Thai borders.
The KMT leaders and their subordinates members settled down in Fang, Mae Sa Long and Chieng Dao and quited the drugs business.
The soldiers of the TRA, about 800 men equiped well arms, were sent to the north Shan State to battle the Wa as the Wa army has withdrown from the BCP’s political movement and made an agreement of cease-fire with Burmese Government.
The Wa leaders named their force as UWNA United Wa National Army (Called as Regional Defense Force ,not involve with the Political activity aganst the Burmese) and doing the opium and heroin trade while the opium produces hugely in the Wa State.
KHun Sa’s plan is to attack the Wa and to rob their raw opium in Salwin River and important transit point and routes of shipment between Wa State Thai border oposite Fang district where heroin refinery is based and controlled by Way Brothers Haw chinese entrepreneurs.
The TRA soldiers disagree Khun Sa’s order and consider to break away.
