SHAN STATE – Residents said that the Pyu Saw Htee in the Danu Autonomous Region, Southern Shan State, were frightened by the news that they would be sent to the front line of Karenni, so they surrendered their weapons and there are many people fleeing from the front line.
He said that the Junta Council Army often recruits adults and reliable villagers from the Dhanu Autonomous Region in Pindaya and Ywangan townships to attend Pyu Saw Htee training.
“They don’t dare going to KAYAH (Karenni) area. Those who go along were also ran from the frontline. In the battle of Nung Cho about four months ago, the villagers from Pindaya and Ywangan coming with Pyu Saw Htee ran from the frontline. Because the declaration of DPLF (Dhanu People’s Liberation Front) formation, more people are surrendering their weapons,” said a local resident.
If anyone who joins the Pyu Saw Htee training will be paid 500,000 kyats per month during the training period and 700,000 Kyats per month after completing the training. Pyu Saw Htee training was short and only 1,00,000 Kyats was given per month in reality.
Pyu Saw Htee training was short reportedly. There are also people surrendering their weapons for various reasons and run away from the front lines and few are recaptured.
People close to them said that junta did not take any action against those who were recaptured because they were worried that their losing strength and they forced them to return to duty by threatening not to run away again.
Currently, as the junta’s army tightens security in the Dhanu region right after the announcement of the establishment of the Dhanu People’s Liberation Front, there are more than 20 Pyu Saw Htee members surrendering their weapons in fear within 3 days.
“I was already scared. They have to attend the training with fear. Although there are some who started to give weapons and then proud with the weapon given by the junta army. Now that Dhanu Army has appeared, they are even more terrified. Maybe, the Danu ethnic group was not armed before. Not dare mentioning Pyu Saw Htee as their own, even their families don’t dare going to the public places anymore. They don’t even dare going out to events anymore,” said one of the revolutionary forces in Dhanu region.
In 2022, Pyu Saw Htee training in the Mogot Vipassana Dhamma Center in Pindaya was initially planned, but later moved to Ba Htoo Army City, Lawksawk township due to leaked news.
In addition, the training for the Ywangan township is said to have opened the training near the village of Myeng Kyado, which is famous as the village of Pyu Saw Htee.
