THE heated issue on social media in recent days is the reports about the “hit list” of people to be violently killed by the terrorist group NUG. The reports also stated that PDFs are being overseen by the direct instructions of the so-called Minister for Home Affairs of the NUG to kill the people on the “hit list”. This issue also became a breakthrough among international communities and media outlets. Following the reports, it found Sasa and Zin Mar Aung from the terrorist group NUG are hastily attempting to explain to the international communities and media that there is no “hit list” in NUG.
On 8 November 2021, Sasa claimed
that the reports saying the NUG has sent a “hit list” of political enemies to
be killed to the NUG-allied resistance groups are false. Moreover, Zin Mar Aung
from the terrorist group NUG made a similar statement and denied the allegations
to VOA media on 10 November.
Meanwhile, despite their denials, a
letter of a peace activist on the “hit list” asking for help from the
international diplomatic arena appeared. The letter described the facts: the
path of NUG is against the values and norms internationally upheld; the NUG/PDF
killed 188 innocent civilians in October alone; the NUG/ PDF has killed over
600 unarmed civilians so far; the international communities have the both moral
and political authority to put an end to the NUG/PDF becoming the monster; the
“hit list” for assassination includes businessmen, politicians, actors/
artists/ performers, who they think, supporting or working with the military
regime; U Ko Ko Gyi (Chairman of the People’s Party), Dr Aung Naing Oo, member
of the Mon Unity Party and the former Deputy Speaker of Mon State Parliament,
and their party members have been threatened multiple occasions by the NUG/PDF;
neutral people who have not taken sides in the current conflict have also been
killed; there are three types of targeted killings committed by NUG/PDF; the
first type is directly managed and operationalized by the NUG; the second one
is conducted by its affiliated groups with the intelligence and resources
provided by NUG; the final one is the targeted killings committed by the local
PDFs; and Lwin Ko Latt (fugitive) from NUG, oversees the hit operations. It
also found that the peace activist asked for help from international diplomats
by attaching a recent picture of NUG/PDF Lwin Ko Latt’s online meeting with
over 60 PDF groups.
Although the terrorist group NUG is
convincingly lying about the “hit list” case, as the case is true and
prevailing in the political and diplomatic arena, international communities
engaging with NUG start to notice their acts of terrorism they could no longer
cover up. Therefore, in the UN Security Council’s press statement on Myanmar
released on 10 November, members of the Council called for an immediate
cessation of violence and to ensure the safety of civilians. Since the
NUG/PDF’s acts of terrorism are intolerable, the international communities
engaging with them even point out and warn about the “hit list” case.
The reports of NUG’s “hit list” is
prevailing on online media and in reality, the people in their daily life are
also witnessing the acts of terrorism committed by the NUG/PDFs physically and
mentally. Everybody knows the PDF born by the NUG and extreme supporters of the
NLD party, on a daily basis, are committing the killings of innocent civilians
and Buddhist monks accused of “informant/ dalan”; murders of ward/ village
administrators for no reason; mass killings against teachers and education
staff and their whole families; bombing attacks against the civilian targets
and schools; terrorizing the COVID-19 precautionary measures and vaccination
sites; and burning down the public houses.
The worst thing is killing Buddhist
monks and teachers who are the members of Five Infinite Venerables in Myanmar
where the majority of societies are Buddhism. Such atrocities are acts of
terrorism which are totally unacceptable from the Buddhist perspectives of
lawki and lawkuttaya (secular world and the way to escape from worldly desires
and attachments). From 3 May to 15 November 2021, 12 Buddhist monks were killed
and five were severely injured. Such killings of Buddhist monks in Myanmar
regarded as the most religious Theravada Buddhism country by the world
countries are serious hazards to Buddha Sasana and also the sorrowful
catastrophes for every devotee of Buddhism.
Other grievous events are the
violent attacks against the national education sector. By the arrangements of
the NUG, the terrorists dehumanize the education staff under the name of Social
Punishment to join CDM. When the schools reopened, they recklessly conducted
bombing and arson attacks on schools to prevent the children from education.
They also brutally killed innocent teachers who did not join CDM. From 1
February to 15 November 2021, there were 438 arson attacks on schools across
the country. Moreover, 7 teachers and 5 education staff were violently killed
and 13 teachers and 2 education staff were injured making a total of 27.
In any country, every parent of any
race wants their children to be educated. The terrorist acts of NUG/PDFs
intending to make unable the children to go to schools is simply breaking down
the hopes of parents. Terrorizing the education sector is simply destroying the
future of the country. There is much irrefutable evidence showing that those
who order to destroy the future of the country are fugitive NUG groups and the
implementers are the extremists of NLD party members and PDF terrorists. Brutal
killings of Buddhist monks and teachers who are the members of ‘Five Infinite
Venerables’ in Myanmar societies and faiths vividly show that the NUG/PDFs and
NLD supporters are inhumane terrorists. Murdering Buddhist monks and teachers
for no reason is very despicable and ugly and also the terrorist acts of
political extremism which is totally unacceptable both for Myanmar society and
the world.
Moreover, there are further acts of
terrorism by NUG/PDF attempting to commit massacres like Al-Qaeda and ISIS. On
12 August 2021, terrorists attempted to crash three ATR-72-600 aircraft with
flight numbers (XYAMP), (XY-AMN), (XY-AMO) of the domestic airline of AIR KBZ
by putting leaves into the pilot tubes of the aircraft. Since the responsible
persons conducted the inspection and managed to prevent the disaster in time,
passengers on board were safe from the mass killing. Similarly, PDF terrorists
exploded and burnt down a YBS-20 passenger bus near the Simmalite bus stop in
the Kyimyindine township of the Yangon region on 1 October 2021. The passengers
were fortunately evacuated in time.
Furthermore, there is much evidence
of acts by some fugitives from NUG and NLD hard-core lobbyists confirming the
terrorist group NUG is upholding terrorism both physically and mentally. Sasa
from terrorist group NUG remarked encouragement at an online terrorist
bomb-making class organized by an American in February 2021. An independent
online media outlet New Naratif explicitly revealed that the online class
taught the attendees how to make guns, and bombs, terrorist bombing and
extremist ideologies.
The United States has enacted a lot
of anti-terrorism laws to curb extremist terrorists, other forms of terrorism,
and control the methods of making such illegal weapons in the world after the
9/11 attacks. The United Nations has also formulated counter-terrorism
strategies. As the New Naratif online media outlet revealed the terrible acts
which are not acceptable in the international arena, Sasa from NUG terrorist
group even threatened to sue the news outlet. Like the current case of “Hit
List”, it was an example of fearful denial of NUG/PDF terrorist groups for
worrying that their acts will be recognized by the international community as
evidence of terrorism.
You may remember that Zaw Wai Soe
from the NUG terrorist group met with his partners and organizations via Zoom
Meeting on 7 June 2021 and he also revealed his plans to carry out terrorist activities.
It can be seen that he had instructed to conduct the violence, saying “Do not
open the small bags, if you do, it will end up your life” and “foods are also
put poison”. There is strong evidence of video recordings of what he has said.
Myo Yan Naung Thein (fugitive), a
former researcher of the NLD party, a lobbyist for the NUG terrorist group’s
acts of terrorism, has also openly spoken out on social media that “Do not send
your children to school. If you do so, they may lose their limbs and lives”. It
was the extremist incitement of violence and a serious threat to the parents.
Similar writings and sayings of
other extremist lobbyists, members of NUG terrorist groups and PDF groups under
various names can be seen on social media. Such statements and activities by
Sasa, Zaw Wai Soe and NUG/PDF lobbyists are not fabrications and but strong
evidence, which can be easily accessed, spreading among the public because such
evidence is their irrefutable spoken words. Although some countries in the
world do not officially recognize the NUG/PDF, they received the terrorists in
their countries and engaged with them. Therefore, certain questions raised
whether the countries encourage terrorism and acts of terrorism. Moreover, it
is doubtful that the countries supporting NUG/PDF are apparently breeding
terrorist groups like ISIS, Al-Qaida and Hezbollah again in Myanmar and the
region. At present, the fugitive NUG members are committing brutal killings of
unarmed people by upholding the concept “Every people differ from my attitude
is my enemy” and therefore, I urge certain countries and international
organizations, which have been in contact with NUG/PDF to collectively denounce
them by perceiving their attempts to achieve a political goal using the way of
terrorism.
There has been an international
outcry that terrorism and extremism are on the rise due to the neglect of
Facebook’s social media policy and technology on such issues encouraging
extremist violence. On the other hand, international organizations, citizens of
democratic countries and governments remain silent although they know the acts
of terrorism perpetrated by NUG, PDF and NLD extremists. Therefore, the author
is also amazed to know and wonders why the international organizations,
citizens who practise democratic values and governments of consolidated
democracy countries are reluctant to condemn, point out and prevent any forms
of violence in Myanmar. I also feel sad as a common citizen who values
democratic values.
By looking at the pieces of
evidence of terrorist acts and the attempts to carry out the massacre of
innocent civilians perpetrated by the NUG and PDF terrorist groups on daily
basis, the current “hit list” is no doubt undeniable. What is the “Hit List”
many people are interested in? Therefore, the intention of “Hit List” can be
seen by looking at the acts of terrorist bombings and killings by NUG and PDF
groups.
NUG/PDFs are simply the terrorist
groups upholding terrorism, which is unacceptable to any society in the world.
It is additionally supported by the indisputable evidence of their spoken words
and daily violence and the now-popular “Hit List”. It is very important to
ensure that the political extremist terrorism of assassinating innocent people
by NUG / PDF holding the concept of “every people differ from my attitude is my
enemy” is not to be rooted in Myanmar as well as in the region and beyond.
Therefore, the international community and the people of Myanmar are urged to
work together to fight against the actions of the NUG, PDF and extremist NLD
terrorists.
