Two Young Soldiers Desert Burmese Army
Two young soldiers from the Burmese army arrived on Bangladesh soil recently seeking refuge after deserting from the Burmese army unarmed, according to a report from the border.
The deserters have been identified as Zayar Aung, an Arakanese national aged 19 years, and Hla Min, a Burman national aged 18 years. Both were from Light Infantry Battalion 564 based in Taung Chay Wra Village in Buthidaung, 80 miles north of the state capital Sittwe.
A witness said they reached Bangladesh by swimming across the Naff River, and were rescued at the river bank by local Bangladeshis.
The two are currently hiding at an undisclosed location out of fear that Bangladesh authorities may force them to return to Burma. The Burmese army typically executes army deserters after they arrested.
An Arakanese from the border area confirmed that some other deserters were killed by the Burmese army at the border last year.
It was learned that the desertion rate in the Burmese army has been increasing by the day due to the poor conditions faced by soldiers.

Junta ITSELF sanctioned export & import trade to all ordinary people .ONLY Generals & THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS CAN DO INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS
THAT'S WHY SANCTION AGAIN ST BURMESE GOV WILL AFFECT ONLY THOSE GENERALS & THEIR OWN COMPANIES .
We need more &more countries to sanction against Burma.
But the least time consuming way to remove Junta is UN Troops/US TROOPS

We should immediately form a committe " Rescue and Welcome Committe" in Thailand and Bangladesh. To pursue soliders and USDA members those are trying to desert or run away from Myanmar regime have a safe place.By forming that committe may completely shake and weak to Junta's army members and will be effective strategy.
So how can we be able to get around?
-We have to make it officially with fit and proper person leadership.
-Raising fund by ways of donation collecting from international.
-Delegate sub-committe members in all country to collect fund.
-Declare offcially to Myanmar
people in oversea countries by stating official committee member name and contact (preferably lunching New WWW)
-Providing temporary accomodation and food for those amry desert.
-Set up clear next procedures and plan for them and let know them also objective of committe.
-May be we can oversea unarmed army. If we have certain fund and received from internationl support in terms of financial, technology and know-how. We can build a army.
Train and educate them. Co-oporate and co-ordinate with may be ethnic army groups and any others military operation sub-contractors. Such as Blackwater from USA.
*** Rest are feasible to implement so far apart from last fact.***
I am here for that.
New Myanmar Army
