In the face of consistent defeats in various battles and also discontent withtheir inability to counter  Arakan Army (AA) members on the battlefield,the military council start disseminating false news accusing the AA’s involvement with illegal drugs to defame the armed group, claimed AAspokesperson U Khaing Thukha.

 

"This is akin to the proverb 'a thief crying tostop the thief' which has been applied by the military council as they faceddefeats in the battlefield. Upon reading the news, everyone can see that it was fabricated. We want to make it clear that our organization has absolutelynothing to do with this," added Khaing Thukha.


The Myanmar Alin newspaper, run by the military rulers, published a featurednews item on 19 December in the back cover stating that a gang ofdrug-smugglers, including AA members, were arrested from  Shan State andYangon region with over two tons of ice (crystal methamphetamine) and 800kilograms of controlled chemical caffeine (both worth  value over MMK51.87 billion).


Responding to Narinjara News, Khaing Thukha clarified about it, adding that thejunta forces were facing setbacks on the battlefield and now they aredisseminating misleading information about the ULA/AA, a member of ThreeBrotherhood Alliance, with underhanded political ways.

 

“The terrorist military council is the actual proprietor ofdrug trades. These drugs are distributed both domestically and internationallyand those are originated in the militia-controlled regions overseen by themilitary council. The military council exercises full control over the drugs,online gamblers and human trafficking rackets in Myanmar," he asserted.

 

He reminded that during the wars in 2018, 2019, and2020, as  the military personnel faced substantial losses, they madesimilar allegations against the AA.

 

Khaing Thukha stated that the mastermind of all kinds ofcriminal activities in Myanmar is none other than military chief senior generalMin Aung Hlaing and his associates. He also urged the China government andInternational Criminal Court to issue arrest warrants against the militarydictators of Myanmar.
