Summary on 16 December
With a great loss, the military junta has been trying to stop the battles via the assistance of China. Nevertheless, they failed and blamed the media for it. Again, they claimed that it would work only through the political meeting without external interference and local disturbance. As a matter of fact, it all began from the power hunger and the junta leader said various things when faced with a great loss after his inhumane violence all over the country.
With the abuse of power, the junta armed forces have been committing various evil deeds including drug dealing whenever chance permits them. Consequently, the military junta has been just a gang of criminals.
