Once I was a new graduate officer in Pinne Taw camp. The camp was built near the entrance of Pinne Taw village (meaning Jade Fruit Farm Village). The village had about seventy houses. The village head was a Kayin woman. We call her Amoe the Chief (Mom, the village chief). It was always good to…
As usual, I received an order stating which day and place to go to the front line. On next day, a departmental meeting was held under the chairmanship of the battalion commander, listing the army personals as the preparations for the front line, assigning responsibilities to those who will be left behind.The exact date is…
I have considered not including this but I changed my mind as it is informative and I wanted to share it. It is what pushed me to join CDM. It is filled with sorrow and painful moments. I decided to talk about it since the people need to know the truth among the lies of…
