Since the Ministry of Education came into being, we have been working tirelessly for the students who desire to pursue the path of federal education together with the people’s government while rejecting military slavery education.”

4. The military council is intentionally distributing narcotics in the areas controlled by the revolutionary forces
On June 5, Comrade Wai Gyi of the Yesagyo Township People’s Defence Organisation (PDO/Pa-Ka-Fa) stated that the military council is intentionally distributing narcotics in the areas controlled by the revolutionary forces.
“Another thing that has bothered me recently about the revolution is the issue of drugs that are starting to spread in the areas controlled by the revolutionary forces. The military council is purposefully distributing them in the areas controlled by the revolutionary forces. Also in my organisation, I had to fire some of my trusted comrades because I found out that they were using it. I want all [revolutionary] organisations to come together to fight this issue like we fight the military council together. Only then will we be able to get through the probation period together,” he said.
In Magway Division, the military council troops are often targeting civilians, raiding villages, and threatening them not to accept the revolutionary forces.
