As Myanmar faces charges of genocide at the International
Court of Justice, the Tatmadaw has announced it will stop killing Rohingya and
stick to killing people from other ethnic groups in the future.
“Killing these Bengali’s is just causing too many problems,”
said Tatmadaw True News Information Team Chairperson Maj-Gen Soe Naing Oo. “We
have been killing ethnic people and driving them from their homes for decades,
but as soon as we kill a few Bengali’s the whole world goes crazy.”
“It just doesn’t make any sense to us,” the major-general
continued, shaking his head sadly. “The same soldiers from the same battalions
have been committing the same human rights violations against Kachin, Shan,
Chin, Rakhine, Kayah, Kayin, Mon and others for decades. We raped them, killed
them, burnt their homes, threw their babies into fires, even skinned them alive
sometimes, and the international community did nothing. Killing these Bengali’s
is causing too many problems for us, so we will stick to killing other ethnic
groups in future.”
