Deputy Minister U Maw Tun Aung stated on social media on March 7 that individuals who align themselves with the military council are now considered enemies of the people.
“When I heard that U Shwe Min was killed in the current battle in Kachin State, I was saddened because he was someone I acknowledged. He had been trying to form a militia since before 2020, and after the coup, he organized ethnic groups and established his own army in Waingmaw Township in cooperation with the military. In the Spring Revolution, due to the people’s progressive political views, his racial-oriented organizing backfired, leading to him being swiftly vilified as an enemy of the people. In fact, he was content with the military’s promotion at a time when even the USDP party, which is actually more senior than him, was avoiding joining the armed forces. Now it’s clear. Individuals who align themselves with the military council are now considered enemies of the people,” the Deputy Minister said.
Lisu National Development Party (L.N.P.P) chairman and militia leader U Shwe Min died on March 7 in the Battle of Waingmaw.
