The meeting was aired by the military junta’s propaganda TV known as MRTV.
A senior political analyst, who remains in the country and does not want his name to be mentioned, contacted by Chindwin comments on the meeting, saying, “this is just a pure attempt of the military junta to re-utilize the “divide and conquer” strategy after the multi-faceted unconventional war has pounded military”.
Chindwin has contacted people who have direct knowledge of the matter and confirmed the report.
