THE government is extending an invitation to those involved in various armed groups, including the PDF, to return to the legal fold. Those who do so are being provided with necessary assistance and support.
When understanding the peace processes of the government and Tatmadaw, leader of BNRA, Naing Lin (aka) Naga, along with his family members, contacted and reported to a Tatmadaw security camp conducting regional security operations in Pale Township, Sagaing Region, at 4:50 pm yesterday. They entered the legal fold together with six assorted weapons and related equipment.
PDFs and other terrorist groups have been carrying out attacks against the government and Tatmadaw, as well as oppressing local civilians through armed force. Over time, internal disputes based on personal interests, territorial conflicts, disagreements over shares, and incidents of intimidation, torture, and killings among themselves have arisen. Due to dissatisfaction with such terrorist acts and having come to trust and accept the peace processes of the government and Tatmadaw, BNRA leader Naing Lin (aka) Naga decided to enter the legal fold.
Officials from the local security command warmly welcomed Naing Lin (aka) Naga and his family members upon their return. Necessary assistance, medical support, and administrative arrangements were provided to ensure their convenience. Required verification processes continue in accordance with the procedures.
There are still individuals who wish to return to the legal fold. Those who intend to do so are encouraged to promptly contact and report to the nearest Tatmadaw bases or police stations. They will be welcomed and accepted, provided with the necessary assistance and support, and cash rewards for any arms and ammunition. — MNA/KTZH
