When the six-month term of the state of emergency period was extended for the fifth time, Min Aung Hlaing had arrived at the brink of hell.
The coup has reached its three-year period. According to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (Burma), a total of 4,474 democracy activists and citizens were killed by Min Aung Hlaing’s army in these three years.
Some have questioned whether the six-month term extension is in line with the constitution. If the coup d’état by Min Aung Hlaing’s military junta on February 1, 2021, is viewed as a coup d’état, there is no need to question it. The reason is that the constitution was torn up by the junta itself.
However, Min Aung Hlaing, who dares to do anything to gain power, wants to blatantly lie about the true origin of the military junta, so he writes a script that seems to be in line with the constitution. Then, he calls a 6-month-term Karlon meeting after the meeting—the so-called state of emergency meeting—and does acts.
Acting this time On January 31, 2024, before the start of the fifth meeting of the National Defense and Security Council (the so-called Karlon Meeting), patriots protested for Loser Min Aung Hlaing to hand over the post of Commander-in-Chief to Soe Win. Therefore, there were some reports that Min Aung Hlaing may be able to create a magic trick.
The reports said that Commander-in-Chief Min Aung Hlaing, appointed by Than Shwe, a former dictator, would hand over one of them—the position of Chairman of the State Administrative Council and the position of Prime Minister—to someone he trusts. The current position of Chief Minister is just a political position and a mere puppet who has to nod and shake his head at Min Aung Hlaing’s will.
However, Min Aung Hlaing did not hand over the position of Prime Minister to anyone after the Karlon Meeting on January 31st. He wants all the positions of Prime Minister Min Aung Hlaing, Chairman Min Aung Hlaing, and Commander-in-Chief Min Aung Hlaing. He firmly grabbed all the power and proved that he is crazy about power so much. In addition, it is proof that Min Aung Hlaing does not trust anyone.
Starting from Operation 1027, which began on October 10, 2023, several military camps were handed over to revolutionary forces, along with the lives of many junta soldiers; similarly, the loss of 36 towns across Myanmar shows Min Aung Hlaing as a loser.
After Operation 1027, thousands of soldiers left the Junta’s army and surrendered. Thousands of soldiers kneeled under the feet of the Kokang Army (MNDAA), giving up their weapons and honor, and returning to the arms of the military junta. Before the 1027 operation, the Karenni Border Guard Corps Ka-La-La-Ta (Karenni National People’s Liberation Front) fought against Min Aung Hlaing back.
The PNLA, which signed the NCA in January, fought back against Min Aung Hlaing, and the Karen Border Guard Force (BGF) broke away from the military subjugation. The above incidents are good evidence of the growing distrust over Min Aung Hlaing.
Min Aung Hlaing, who swam to the other side with the emergency period for 6 months after 6 months, could not get out of the deep eddy. Incidents have already indicated that Min Aung Hlaing, who is in the emergency room, will only have to do an emergency jump to hell after the extension of the SAC in emergency for another six months.
