Taze township (Burmese: တန့်ဆည်မြို့နယ်) is a township in Ye-U District, Sagaing Region, Myanmar. The township has only one town- the principal town of Taze, which has four urban wards. The township also has 272 villages grouped into 57 village tracts. The township is very homogenous with 99.98% of the population being of the Bamar ethncity, and 99.04% following Buddhism.[1]
The township has sizeable Pyusawhti militia presence, with military presence increasing in 2024 during the course of the current phase of the Myanmar civil war.[2] Earlier that year, Pyusawhti outposts had been sieged by the People's Defence Force resistance troops.[3]
