CDM captain says he will help if offered to prove Rohingya violence

Nay Myo Thet, then CDM captain who was serving in Rakhine State, told RFA yesterday that he would cooperate with the truth if the Burmese army offered to testify against the Rohingya in 2017 in Rakhine State.

The military has committed genocide against the Rohingya in Rakhine State. He says the military is cracking down on the current Spring Revolution.

"I can say that we can go down together," he said. In the Rohingya era, they were more courageous because they were of different religions and races. At that time, now the language is the same and the race is the same. It is the same with worship. "But we can say it is not different."

He says the junta does not feel guilty about the crimes against the Rohingya and is surprisingly satisfied.

The military junta's violent crackdown on Rohingya, which has killed scores of people and forced some 700,000 to flee to Bangladesh, is a clear sign of genocide, and the military council has denied the allegations.

CDM Captain Nay Myo Thet served as the Battalion Commander of the 233rd Infantry Battalion based in Buthidaung Township, Rakhine State. He served in Rakhine State for seven years. He said he was involved as a supply officer in supplying military equipment and aircraft fuel.

He said he had 13 years of military service, including 16 years of cadet training. He left the army on November 24, 2021. He said he arrived in the liberated area on December 14.
