Who do the Kachin, Karen, Rakhine, Shan, etc. support at this time? Are they siding with the NDL or the military?

Most of the independence armies except Rhakine armies (AA and ARSA) officially want a true federal union, which would require a new constitution. This is the same aim as NLD.

Only KNU (Karen army) so far has made statement opposing military coup.

Edit: That said, independence armies are all to some degree corrupt and many funded through drug manufacturing and smuggling.
