“There is no phone line connection at that place. We don’t have any communication devices. So, three of our valuable comrades were killed. The rest of the outposts knew that they were able to avoid that column. Their outpost was ambushed and killed. Please, NUG consider for our soldiers who have been standing firmly for two years in the Yoma forest without any support. It is their responsibility to give us weapons, and it is our responsibility to give and fight with our lives,” he said.
