A retired Military officer said that the National Unity Government (NUG) needs to properly prepare the soldier and police reception program that soldiers and police will cooperate and stands with the people due to the acceleration of the Military.
He said that if the SAC Military is already in disarray and the NUG and ethnic armed groups increase their Military momentum, more soldiers who have exhausted their desire to fight for Min Aung Hlaing may enter into CDM reception program and cooperate with the people.
Now, although the soldiers who are fighting on the frontier line are constantly supplied with bullets as much as they need, the food are not supplied. They have to drink rice gruel. They eat only water. There is little food and water. They are fighting with hunger and starvation. The soldiers do not accept this situation. If possible, they don’t want to fight anymore. As the NUG accelerates the Military, the soldiers who don’t want to fight will participate more CDM. Now it’s just disarray. What has the NUG prepared?” he said.
“The US NDAA Act’s support for Myanmar’s spring revolution includes providing assistance to soldiers who cooperate with the people and participate to CDM. That’s why, it is need to make the best use of it and prepare for it,” a retired Military officer said.
“Although the soldiers want to join CDM, there is an idea of whether it will happen. CDM soldiers are put in this position. It is need to be able to make sure that the soldiers see that they are supported these things like this way,” he continued.
“In addition to Military escalation, if ASEAN and the Security Council pressure and effective economic sanctions by the United States become to accelerate, groups of soldiers may join into CDM and cooperate with the people. So the plan should be prepared for CDM soldiers and police in advance,” he warned.
“It is convenient right now. We have to consider the family and the children’s education and the future. We need to be more comfortable now,” said by a CDM captain somewhere on the border.
He also commented that the number of CDM soldiers would increase significantly if there is a certain hope for CDM soldiers when they join to CDM.
During this day, there was a fierce battle in Kawkareik and Kyainseik Gyi, and the SAC Military was wounded more.
