By 2025, resistance groups are expected to control nearly 56% of border trade zones, according to a January report from PDFInsight, a publication focused on military analysis.

"Cities and regions controlled by the junta are not the main hubs for agriculture, livestock farming, or fisheries. Most of these activities take place in rural areas controlled by the National Unity Government, with many located in resistance-held territories."
Furthermore, the report highlighted that by 2025, the majority of border trade zones—56%—will be under the control of various resistance forces.
