The military junta reportedly is providing military training 300 local people from Lashio after being recruited, according to reliable sources.
Lashio local people were mobilized to form the junta militia, giving money, since last 2023 December, and they are providing military training those people at the indoor gym hell in Lashio Ward 12.
“They called people saying they would pay 300,000 kyats each. Some have no work well. Those who don’t have a job go to work. Some of them are forced to work,” said a reliable source.
Most of the people recruited by the military junta as militias are the unemployed, thief, robbers and drug users, according to a man from Lashio.
“No one will do it if they knew what the junta militia is. Even if they pay hundreds of thousands, no one will do it. Now drug users and thieves are mostly participated,” a man from Lashio said.
After the military coup, the resistance war has broken out across the Myanmar, so the military junta are losing a lot of strength. As a result, they are recruiting people as militias.
