Residents said that there are physical assaults on passenger bus lines and local residents at the PDF checkpoints in Sagaing’s Yinmarbin District. “ it has a check point there. They said that check point is for our people. How can I say it? It’s a PDF gate. San Lin Kyaw- Saya San gate checked intensely the people’s passenger cars and motorists at the gate so tight and aggressive. Yesterday, a car driver went to pick up betel nuts to feed the gate authority. Even if he went to pick up betel nuts to feed him yesterday, there were people who punched and beat the motorists to ask for permission if he could go and pick it up without telling them he will be punished.
A local resident said this. His original voice has been changed for security reasons. This happened mainly in the southern part of Yinmarbin. He said that the local people are having a hard time with the fact that they are doing evasion from military council troops and abused from local PDF physically. In Sagaing region, there is almost daily contact between military council-based troops and local PDF troops, and in some areas, PDFs can be controlled in some areas. “ After that, the people are afraid of the military council and the PDF” . Sagaing is one of the regions where the military council and the PDF have the most clashes.
On the other hand, there are revolutionary forces that are independent from the National Unity Government (NUG). According to the NUG’s military target specifications, it is stated that no targeted attacks on civilians should be carried out, as well as no attacks on schools, hospitals, religious buildings, and cultural monuments. Last May, there was an order from the NUG that the PDF forces should not open gate stations, prevent inspections, collect money, or collect money in the Yinmarbin Township. #Era’sEye
