India’s Covert Pact with Myanmar Rebel Group Exposed: Strategic Roads and Sovereignty at Stake
An exclusive investigation has uncovered a covert agreement between India and Myanmar’s Kachin Independence Army (KIA), revealing a strategic alliance to extract rare earth minerals while systematically undermining Myanmar’s sovereignty. Satellite imagery and cross-border intelligence confirm India’s construction of a 365-kilometer road network stretching from Vijaynagar in Arunachal Pradesh to the Chihpwi rare earth mining site. This infrastructure, developed without Myanmar Junta’s approval, allows India to secure rare earth resources in exchange for providing the KIA with weapons, medical aid, and logistical support.
The partnership includes a clandestine plan to build a second strategic route from the KIA’s headquarters in Laiza through Sagaing Region to Rihkhawdar in Chin State. Funding for this corridor is partially sourced from Myanmar’s illegal timber smuggling networks, enabling long-term transport of rare earths, oil, and timber to India. Analysts note that the KIA’s involvement grants India indirect control over resource-rich areas, effectively bypassing Myanmar’s junta and eroding its territorial authority.
India’s military support to the KIA includes advanced weaponry and medical supplies funneled through Arunachal Pradesh, strengthening the rebel group’s capacity to resist Myanmar Junta. In return, the KIA has pledged to suppress anti-India insurgent groups near the border, including the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-K (YA), while tacitly endorsing India’s controversial claims over the disputed Chin State and Kabaw Valley regions.
An official of the Myanmar’s military government condemned the pact as a “blatant violation of international law,” warning that unauthorized Indian operations within Myanmar’s borders would be met with “decisive military retaliation.” The official emphasized that road construction and resource extraction by Indian entities without Myanmar’s explicit consent contravene the UN Charter’s principles on sovereignty. “Such actions threaten not only Myanmar’s stability but also risk igniting broader regional conflict,” the official stated.
