All Comments for Myanmar Army Seizure of Alleged Arakan Army Training Camp Draws AA Denial

@ Sai Lin Khan:What a great unbiased analysis of current situation. Henery has has no idea about current situation nor terms of BIA. Only reason AA are still able to engage is because media bias. Because we have popular civilian government is actively engage in national reconciliation policy, Army was engaging with restrain. If there were NO Facebook or other medias Burma, AA will be gone long time. AA dug their own graves by abducting,killing civilians, kidnapping,looting food from different ethnic group. I pray for Arakan and Chin civilians, but needs to eliminate AA once and for all. P.S I am a Burmese general hater.

@Henery. You know nothing about Burma. BIA is the Burma Independence Army that was formed by our leader late Gen Aung San father of Daw Aung San Su Kyi in 1941. BIA was formed in to remove the British colony Government from Burma soil. The BIA defeated the British Colony Army and the British had to flee to Calcutta, India. However, the Japanese Government didn’t keep its promise to give the Burma Independence. BIA was reformed as BNA (Burma National Army) under Japanese rule and declared war against the Imperial Japanese Army on 27 March 1945 because the Japanese Government refused to give true independence as it’s promised before. Gen Aung San was showered with highest the Order of the Rising Sun award and rank, but Gen Aung San didn’t care those awards and rank. He only cares for his peoples and his country. The BIA was very honorable Army.
BIA is nothing to do with the today Burmese Military (Tatmadaw).
Do you think ethnic minority peoples are supporting their ethnic Army in their area?
You’re wrong if you think their ethnic peoples support them in their area. Ethnic minority armed groups are as bad as the Burmese Army and its soldiers.
However, the Burmese Military and its soldiers were disciplined and taken action if they have done wrong in front line since the NLD and Daw Aung San Su Kyi Government came to the power.
I have been involved in Burmese politic for nearly 50 years now. My brother was jailed in 1969 for leading students in 1969 Southeast Asian Peninsular Game student movement. I was too jailed for my political activity in 1988.
I’m not blindly supporting the Burmese Military. Also, I believe the Burmese military is changing it attitude and Army officers and soldiers were more discipline than former dictator Gen Than Shwe and former President Gen Thein Sein. Some officers and soldiers may have committed war crimes in ethnic minority area but it was not wide-spread as foreign journalists reported.
There are many honorable, good and braved officers and soldiers in today Burma Army. Than Shwe was most corrupted General and worst military dictator in Burmese history. Than Shwe and his family were still protecting by network of his loyal Generals even though he was retired decade ago.
Than Shwe had completely destroyed the honor of the Burmese Military and the Army combat quality as well as ethical and morality of soldiers.
We need to see a clear view about past and current Burmese military. The Burmese Army was one of the best Army in the world. However, we saw the Burmese Army combat quality and morality was slipping away under former dictator Gen Than Shwe and former President Thein Sein because the Army had forcefully recruited under age child soldiers and many convicted illiterate criminals into the Army. Also the Gen Than Shwe had allowed the military officers to commit corrupt and crime as long as they support him. Today, you’re reading stories about the Burmese (Myanmar) Military (Tatmadaw) and not about BIA (Burma Independence Army).
Current the AA strategy and policy is trying to divide between Rakhine peoples and Burmese peoples, destabilized the Rakhine region by attacking on Police station which do not clash or attack the AA. The duty of the Police and border guards is protect civilians from the Islamic terrorist group the ARSA members whom they cross from the Bangladeshi border into Burma for steals farmers’ livestock and to kill Buddhist Rakhine and other Buddhist ethnic minority villages. The AA spoke person Khine Thu Kha is running the AA propaganda machine and he is the biggest liar. The AA was spreading rumor and faked story for destabilizing in the region and creating distrust between Rakhine and Burmese community. The AA wills never success to declare independence autonomy state because the federation system is only peaceful transition for all Burmese ethnics. Today, the AA was strong because of the KIA supplied them with weapons and ammunition as well as money.
If the AA wants to be a real ethnic Army, which fighting for their rights and then the AA must change its attitude like sending bullets to News Agency, the Journalists whom report the AA as a terrorist organization in the their news. The AA murdered Buddhist Rakhine villages’ heads and Police officers. Also, they sent parcel bomb and innocent Police officer’s wife was killed by the AA parcel bomb. The AA committed crimes, but their spoke person denied its involvement. The AA threatens to civilians who didn’t support or ignore their demand and later they were senselessly shooting by the AA soldiers as warning to all civilians and village heads not to oppose the AA. That’s why I call the AA activity was terrorism and not the revolution ethnic army. The AA must stop kidnapping civilians, killing village chief and innocent peoples, sending bullets to Journalists, village heads and Police station. If the AA wants peace and reconciliation between Rakhine ethnic and Burmese Government and then the AA needs to negotiate with the Government’s National Reconciliation and Peace Center (NRPC).

@Sai Lin Kan, everyone in Burma knows which army is behaving like terrorist organization. Burma Army (BIA) is Biggest Terrorist Organization because they are killing innocent civilians, burned down the villages . You need to listen what the local people are saying at warzone. What a shame on @ Sai Lin Kan. I can't believe you are supporting Burmese terrorist army ,the infamous ,brutal army. There is no doubt you are Burmese Army Soldier who is a murderer killing innocent children and pregnant women, the elderly.

AA is becoming a terrorist organization rather than ethnic minority Army because the AA kidnapping civilians and senseless murdering of village leaders as well as attacking on Border guard post and Police Station.
AA spokesman Khine Thukha is a liar. I won't support current the AA policy and its action.
The Burmese military must understand the AA was declaring Guerrilla warfare and Media warfare against Burmese Army, Border guards and Police. The Army can trap the AA by using their informers. Arresting all the AA supporters won’t sort the problem. The Burmese Army should not arrest the AA informers and supporters but they should be put under surveillance and feed them mix information and trap the AA.The Burmese military used to have many bright and brilliant officers for such operation.

The important thing is the Burmese military needs to cut the AA’s ammunition supply route from KIA. The AA has to attack weak Police Station for to get their ammunition and weapons if they can’t get their need from the KIA.
The AA victory in Rakhine state is short-lived. Burmese Military should avoid confrontation with ethnic Rakhine peoples. The Rakhine peoples believe the rumor they heard from the AA source. The AA has winning Media war over the Government and the Military at the moment.
Currently, the AA has a huge supporting from the Rakhine peoples and they believe the AA can achieve an independent Rakhine state by fighting against Burmese military.
The Military needs counter Psychological warfare against the AA and in the Rakhine state. The Burmese military needs cleaver strategy to win war over the AA.
