MANDALAY DIVISION – A responsible person from NMD (No More Dictatorship People’s Defence Force), the main force conducting urban guerrilla missions in Mandalay, said that the force is thinking of reducing missions because of decreasing financial support and rise of weapon prices and commodity prices.
The group has to bear not only weapons’ expenses but also living and food expenses as they have to remain in the city to carry out the missions.
Bo. Zeus, the leader of NMD said, “We have to bear high cost of expenses to live in the city. We are considering reducing missions because there are now only half of the usual donors supporting us. We also used up our saved funds of 50 lakhs. It won’t be easy to save up again.”
He also said there were cost of fuel for motorcycles, food, phone bill, the cost to patronise restaurants as required by the mission, the cost to prepare safe houses, and other general costs when carrying out urban guerrilla missions.
It is said that the price of a pistol that was about 15 lakhs at the start of revolution, nowadays costs about 80 lakhs and one bullet was 4500 MMK before, but is now 10000 MMK.
NMD Urban Guerrilla Force carried out nine attacks between May 30 and June 10. They attacked the traffic police housings in Aungmyaytharzan Township on June 10 and the Immigration office in Amarapura Township on June 6.
They also attacked the Veteran’s office in Aungmyaytharzan Township on May 10, the Daguntine main electric power station in Ngwetawkyikone ward in Pyigyidagun Township on May 12, the administration office of Oupaouktaw Ward located between 73rd Street and 74th Street and between 8th Street and 9th Street on May 18, the investment and registration office in Maharaungmyaytharzan Township on May 20, Drunkest bar in Aungmyaytharzan Township and Tax office of Pyigyidagun Township on May 27, and Tiketaw electric power station in front of Mandalay Palace in Aungmyaytharzan Township on May 30.
