A total of 20 administrators from 19 village tractsin the Ku Taung area of Rathedaung township of Rakhine state ,submitted their resignations onDecember 16th.

This spate of resignations are based on severalfactors according to one of the administrators who just resigned. He told Narinjara.

He explained further that, “ The most fundamental reasonis that there are many difficultiesin serving as a community administrator at this time. And some villagers do not like us. Also the fact that ULA isalready in charge of management here is another reason. We also do not want to continueworking under the Military Council.  There are many difficulties in working betweenthe ULA and the Junta Regime. Therefore we submitted our resignation letters inour own consent.”.
