After Meikhtila there was more violence, and it moved in mysterious ways. There is a highway that runs north from Yangon towards Pyay, and if you were to plot on a map the sites of unrest that occurred along that route in the eight days during and after Meikhtila then a neat line would form, starting in the small town of Thegon and ending in Tharawaddy. Somehow it travelled along that road, striking 11 towns, each roughly five kilometres from one another, in little over a week.
