Don’t act like Privileged

It’s been over a year and six months since
I started doing CDM I stayed as comfortable as I could. I tried my best.
I know there are organizations that support CDMs. However, I didn’t ask for a day off because everything is difficult right now.

I stood up on my own outside and stood up against the dictator. I had to start my life again doing random jobs.I have to carry bottles of water, There is selling steak, part-time in the farms I had to grow grass, There were days when I had to sleep and carry rice in fairs because I didn’t have money to pay for the hostel.

I’ll tell you all about it. I used to walk from 8 miles to Sule because I only had two hundred money to ride YBS.What I want to say is that many people have come to say that they want to get out of the army, if we come out, they come and ask us what we will pay and what benefits we will get.They don’t ask us what we should do for this revolution and how we can do it.They don’t have a conviction spirit.

They are not CDM, they are surrendering because they know they are going to lose the war.I’m not bragging about myself, I want to say that even with these little difficulties, I’m happy and have no regrets.
If I thought that I would live with regrets if I hadn’t been able to get out of the army, I’m happy that it’s difficult now.Those who come out of the military with such an opportunity become famous,he is a CDM soldier.The people believed and helped.After that, they used the money from the donation for them.Instead of using the donations for the revolution, they are turning politics into business.Now, because there are people like that in the revolution, there are people who believe in CDM and people who don’t.

There are people who are abusing politics like this, so the revolution is not going as far as it should.Those who want to help from abroad are no longer just helping people who are doing the right thing, but they are watching and helping only if they are trusted.Because of this happening, I would like to say something to the people who will come forward and the people who are currently playing politics, please do not abuse the public’s trust.
