Burma Tha Din News Update 9th September 2017

After calls for restraint, soldiers ordered to only shoot Rohingya once

Min Aung Hlaing has agreed to calls for restraint by the international community, and ordered soldiers to only shoot Rohingya once, and use less petrol when burning homes.

“We didn’t expect to get such good advice from America, the EU and others,” said a senior military source. “Of course they are right. We only need to shoot a Bengali once. If they are only injured they will die anyway without medical assistance, it will just take longer. We just have to be more patient. This will save us lots of bullets which we can use instead on other Bengali.”


Min Aung Hlaing Furious Aung San Suu Kyi Getting All The Credit

Burma Tha Din sources in the military say Min Aung Hlaing is furious that Aung San Suu Kyi is getting all the credit for driving Rohingya out of Burma.

“He is raging,” said one source. “He spent months planning this offensive and waiting for the next ARSA attack so he could carry it out, now Aung San Suu Ki is getting all the credit for his work.”

Another source told Burma Tha Din “The Commander in Chief felt he had an understanding with Daw Aung San Suu Kyi but he feels betrayed now. He has driven more Bengali out of Myanmar than anyone in history, but she takes the credit. She is very tricky.”


Correction

In our news update last week we reported that a media editor was having a breakdown over the Rohingya issue. It has now come to our attention that although posturing as a media editor he has in fact done very little media editing and is in effect a government spokesperson. He has also now publicly stated his feelings that Rohingya do not belong in Burma, and must be feeling a lot better now. We apologize for any misunderstandings our article may have caused.
