Pyusawhti militias

Militia groups in Myanmar

Pyusawhti militias refers to three distinct groups of pro-military militias in Myanmar. The term was first used in 1955, when U Nu's government created Pyusawhti paramilitary units to assist the military with counterinsurgency operations. After a coup in 1958, the army tried to disband them, as they had become loyal to local ruling-party politicians. However, their attempt was not completely successful.
