1. The military council is afraid that the NUG will build a nationwide COC
On September 19, Union Minister Dr. Tu Hkawng said that the military council is afraid that the NUG will build a nationwide COC.
“The military council has also become less manpower. There are not enough people to support it. They say how can we stand in a situation where we are divided among ourselves? The main thing is that we have built a strong Chain of Command (COC) institution. The military council is not an ordinary one. They have years of experience and knowledge invested with the country’s finances. They know very well how important COC is. That’s why when NUG said they would build COC on a national scale, they got scared,” said the minister.
In his speech on the 2nd anniversary of the People’s Defensive War, Union Minister of Defence U Yee Mon said to plan and prepare for the final battle and to improve the fighting ability of the forces already under the COC.
