On January 26, the military group led by the coup leader said that they would develop a public defense system under the pretext of “public security”. In addition, “political parties that have been allowed to register of chairmen and vice presidents with junta Min Aung Hlaing they discussed the public security system,” military leader Min Aung Hlaing said.
The military leader, who had to face the false list of the army that started to fall, seems to have reviewed the situation of his army today. That’s why southern shan state, Karenni, Bago in order to face the onslaught of the revolutionary forces that are closest to Naypyidaw, military training who was attended the soldiers, the military supporters, including the polices and fire brigades, were also made to prepare for defense.
Therefore, on January 1, near Pyin Oo Lwin, In the battle of Thanbo, we saw the casualties of the military council battalions and the fire brigade. When the KNLA and the revolutionary forces attacked the army which was came to Mone township to attack revolutionary forces. 72 members of the military council were killed in this battle and among the dead military engineering forces and police forces was mostly dead The KNLA headquarters announced that.
In order to solve the situation that they are facing, the recruitment of the public defense system “militia” by the military council has become an urgent need for the army. As civilians, they can face the worst of this situation. At present, the Military Council’s recruiting corps, during the interrogations, there have been many people who were forcibly recruited. In this situation, since civilians are an unarmed class, The best way to avoid it is to temporarily leave the area where you currently live.
Currently, including the eastern and western parts of Bago, Ethnic minorities in Sagaing Region and Kachin State are being forcibly recruited. In some villages, in addition to recruitment they have to pay tens thousands of kyats (1,000,000MMK).
It has been said that within Kyunhla Township of Sagaing Division, there must be 30 to 100 militia members depending on the local conditions. There is training, arming, and strengthening of forces. The militias that have been formed in the village, Township, district, A group of military supporters led by Wathawa is responsible for reporting to the local battalion of the Ward Council or the Regional Military Headquarters.
Even though there is a large number of armed forces within the Military Council Army, the lack of manpower to fight the war hurt the war council very much. How modern weapons can be used in battle is limited. Therefore, the implementation of the militia is very important for the army. It can also be said to be the last breath for the generals.
Those who are currently being recruited are working to replace the military council’s dwindling military strength. Militia is also because the army forces the people into the army. It brought the people and the revolutionary forces into conflict. Therefore, the current gathering of the militia, both as revolutionary forces and People should be more careful, I was informed that there should be preparations in advance.
Yours sincerely,
