The Anti-Fascist Internationalist Front (AIF) is an armed Internationalist formation in Myanmar participating in the ongoing civil war. While foreign fighters have been observed in Myanmar prior to the foundation of the AIF, the first mention of the group came on 15 October 2024, when the group announced its formation and called on volunteers to join the conflict.
Members of the AIF claim to have provided training to local resistance organizations, as well as having participated in battles against the State Administration Council.
The AIF has made statements in solidarity with the revolution in North Eastern Syria, which received a reply from the Women's Protection Units. Some AIF volunteers had prior experience fighting in the Rojava conflict.
On March 8th 2025, the group issued a statement for International Women's Day, displaying their own flag as well as a KCK-inspired "Antifascist International" flag. The statement clarified the groups position as anti-capitalist. Additionally, fighters have been shown wearing anarchist insignia, such as anarchist communist patches on their equipment.
