On May 22, one of the significant events was the attack on retired Major General Choe Htun Aung, a Thiri Pyanchi award recipient who teaches at the military council’s National Defense University. According to a responsible official from the Golden Valley Warriors, revolutionary forces entered and carried out an operation at his residence in Yangon. This incident demonstrates the continued offensive operations by revolutionary forces against the military council.
Military council leader Senior General Min Aung Hlaing made a statement regarding the current situation in Myanmar, accusing regional countries of attempting to control the nation and claiming that the National League for Democracy (NLD)’s authoritarian actions posed a risk of national disintegration. However, it is the military coup and the council’s violent actions that have actually led the country toward fragmentation and crisis.
In Mandalay, earthquake victims who have been seeking refuge in schools, football fields, and monastery halls have been ordered by the military council to evacuate these temporary shelters by the end of May. This order demonstrates the council’s lack of humanitarian consideration for citizens affected by natural disasters and represents a violation of basic human rights. The displaced people have been staying in these locations after being forced to flee their homes due to the earthquake, and now face further displacement due to the military council’s orders.
