“The Muslims in Meikhtila have only themselves to blame for their own death and destruction in Meikhtila”
- former military intelligence chief ex-Let. Gen. Ye Myint (now head of the Mandalay Division)
Two former chiefs of Military Intelligence – Military Affairs Security – ex-Lt General Myint Swe (MAS Chief
Oct 2004-June 2006) and Ye Myint (MAS Chief June 2006 – month? 2010) –
are handling violence against the Muslims at the moment. Myint Swe is
admin head of Rangoon and Ye Myint Mandalay (two strategic cities).
Here it is reported that Ye Myint who has
overall jurisdiction over Meikhtila had ordered the security troops in
Meikhtila ‘ to not even think about harming the Muslim killers,
arsonists and so on’.
In one instance, the local police and
the organized mob leaders made a deal: the police in Meikhtila would
allow the mob only 30 minutes in which they were to destroy a major
mosque there. Surely, in the youtube clip, Meikhtila police officers
were seen doing absolutely nothing and simply looking on as the mob
burned and otherwise destroyed an old and large mosque.
In this media report, the 10 Muslim
leaders were told by ex-military intelligence chief Ye Myint that “the
Muslims in Meikhtila have only themselves to blame for their own death
and destruction in Meikhtila”.
