Summary on 13 May
· With the depletion of human resources, the military junta has had to recruit their forces by using a variety of dirty tricks. On the other hand, there have been more and more young people in the revolution forces and they have had to set up more units. The military junta only has power through guns in their hand, but no influence on the people. They and their supporters will be uprooted on the day when those guns fall out of their hands.
