The People’s Administration for Mindat Township has urged all government staff, police, and soldiers to join the Civil Disobedience Movement in Mindat Township within 30 days, as stated in a release on January 1.
The administration has issued a warning of unspecified actions against those who do not comply with the request within the specified time.
Ko Yaw Mang, a responsible person, explained that a plan is being devised to seize all of the regime’s camps in the township.
On January 1, 2024, a Mindat Chinland Defence Force (CDF) sniper killed a major in the Burma army in Ashay Pyin Ward in Mindat town.
Following this incident, the regime burned two homes in the ward and shelled Tike Nel 4 with artillery, resulting in the injury of three villagers.
The next day, the area was shelled again, leading to the destruction of at least three homes.
The CDF has initiated an online fundraising campaign called “Project Mindat 2024” to purchase at least 50 assault rifles and ammunition, seeking support from Chins and others in the state, as well as those who have relocated to a third country.
