In June of 2025, the AIF hosted sniper training with logistical support from the Chin National Defense Force and the Chin Brotherhood Alliance. Lasting one month, the training brought together more than 64 comrades from 18 different resistance organizations.

Coming from all around the country, from different religions, ethnicities, and backgrounds, comrades completed the training course to increase their skills in the fight against the fascist military junta.

The Academy takes on the name of Obed Lal, a CNDF comrade and AIF sniper training graduate who fell martyr during the battle of Falam. The class was named after Tîjda Zagros, an internationalist comrade of the Free Women’s Units in the mountains of Kurdistan who fell martyr in April of 2025. With the example and sacrifice of the martyrs, we gain strength and inspiration to continue our struggle against the SAC dictatorship, and the fascism and patriarchy that it represents.
