The military leader was included in TIME magazine's list of 100 famous people

In the list of 100 most influential people in the world for 2023, world leaders such as the President of the United States, Prime Minister of Germany Prime Minister of Australia Along with leaders such as Japan's prime minister, the coup leader was also reported by TIME magazine on April 13.

However, Time Magazine did not describe the Chairman of the Military Council with a good name, but rather with a bad reputation.

The military leader seized power in February 2021 in Myanmar, a country of 54 million people. NUG On the day of the revolution, they said that they would resolutely attack the ethnic armed groups EAO that are supporting the PDF groups. He is accused by the United Nations of committing genocide against the Rohingya. The coup military council led by him is considered as the worst group in the world after the Taliban in Afghanistan. From the time he seized power, the villages were bombarded with artillery, Air strikes have killed thousands of people, and millions of people have been forced to flee and hide in their homelands, according to Time magazine.

Dr. Tun Myint, a professor of international relations at Carleton College, Minnesota, USA, pointed out that Time magazine's description of the military leader is a bad person.

Those who are killing their own people again. U Ne Zin Lat, NLD MP from Kantbalu Township, Sagaing Province, said that mentioning someone who is committing war crimes in this way is like incarceration.

"The inclusion of Min Aung Hlaing in the list of the most influential people in the world means that we have to say that this is an import. In fact, we do not want to recognize a person who commits such inhumane actions, such as killing his own people and committing various war crimes. In addition, we do not want to assume the recognition of a person who commits inhumane actions by carrying out aerial attacks on innocent people and killing them en masse." This is our opinion. He is not a person who is doing good things.

Human rights activist Rone San Lwin said that Time magazine should review the fact that the Chairman of the Military Council is famous in the world as a perpetrator of war crimes.

"If it is said that he is famous in the world as a war criminal and put in such a category (Category), then this is correct. Now, because it has been placed like this together with the world leaders, this property is quite controversial both in the current situation and in the public's view. We cannot agree with the addition of this property.

Dr. Nanda Min Swe, a Myanmar activist from Los Angeles, California, United States of America, also expressed his opinion that it is wrong to add a military leader to a list of people who have not done anything good for humanity.

"This time, Min Aung Hlaing was included in Time magazine's annual list of the 100 most famous people, so I, as a Burmese, object. He is the leader of murdering (murdering in chief) and has done nothing but blood on his hands. I for one see that it is wrong to include someone who has not done anything good for humanity in the list of the world's 100 most famous people. In order for people to know more about Myanmar, they will know that Burmese people are being brutally killed and persecuted, but you will know that after reading the article. "

U Than Soe Naing, a political analyst, said that since Time magazine is a world-renowned magazine, it is inappropriate to describe the military leader in such an international way.

"The issue of whether or not it should happen is that according to the current situation in the country, it should not happen. I like it or don't like it. If you understand the tradition of Time magazine and its attitude, you don't have much to say. But if you say it based on the feeling of what is happening in your country, putting this guy like Min Aung Hlaing on the international front is not worth it. If you say it is not worth it because Time magazine is a world-renowned prestigious magazine."

U Tun Kyi, a member of the steering committee of the former political prisoners' group, criticized the military leader as someone who is waging a war of terror against his own people and is worse than the Taliban.

Time Magazine publishes the annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world, and it has also featured State Counselor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, who was arrested by the Military Council.
