Regarding the assassination of the top officials of the Rakhine State Liberation Party ALP, the ALP said that the Rakhine Army AA did the assassination on purpose. “ Number 1 is that we have already received evidence, we will present it to the relevant authorities and we will continue to do what we need to do.” Major Khaing Thurein, a member of the ALP’s secretariat, said that since the information cannot be disclosed, he said that he has to report it to the relevant parties. In early January of this year, three high-ranking officers, including the ALP’s Chief of Staff, were murdered.
And on the 1st of this month, a battalion commander and a soldier, including the vice president of ALP, were assassinated. “ In the future, we will have to be more careful. Mainly, we have a view of our own race as an ethnic group, but we will have to be more careful of the view that the other side sees us as an enemy. We must take care to see the enemy as an enemy.” All of the assassinations happened in Sittwe, and this time, there were also mutual shootings. He also pointed out that both incidents were an attack by Rakhine Army AA. “ Mainly, there is nothing major to happen between us. They also followed the path of armed revolution. We also followed the path of armed revolution long ago. After we signed the NCA, we went back on the path of peace. They remained in the armed revolution. There is no problem to be disputed, there are no issues to make a problem.
It is not very comfortable to have the same kind of thinking that I am my enemy and that I am one-sided.” In the past, ALP troops were arrested and detained by the Rakhine Army AA. However, the AA side has expressed that they are not affiliated with the organization due to the events of this attack. On this statement They (AA) is speaking within their boundary for their rights but we (ALP) have our own evidence that we collected and we will continue to do with the evidence.
