KARENNI STATE – The Karenni National Progressive Party-KNPP made a public announcement on Thursday (August 31), urging junta officers including military officers, government officers, and gazetted officers serving under the military council to contact them as soon as possible to defect and seek refuge.
If the junta officers want to defect and take refuge in the nearby Karenni People’s Government, one can make contact (either directly or indirectly) with the troops and battalions under the NUG Ministry of Home Affairs across the Karenni State, stated KNPP.
After officially handing over the weapons and ammunition brought along with the defectors to the Karenni State Army and township defense forces, they will proceed according to the plan of the Supervision Committee for the CDMs.
The Defector/CDM Supervisory Committee is connected with the international legalized organizations, the National Unity Government (People’s Embrace Committee), and the ethnic revolutionary armed groups throughout Myanmar, thus the military defectors and CDM staff under the junta regime can contact them directly at the address provided.
