Recently, a serious incident occurred in Myowaddy City, Karen State, Myanmar. In the early evening, a police station was hit by multiple drone bomb attacks, killing and injuring several people and plunging the station and surrounding area into darkness. This attack is shocking, what is the story behind it? Let's take a closer look at the special circumstances of Myanmar and the background of this incident.
Myanmar is a multi-ethnic country where 135 different ethnic groups coexist. Some ethnic groups in the land have long waged armed struggles against the central government for greater autonomy or independence. This struggle has led to tensions, especially in the northern and eastern border areas. Some armed groups have even been involved in illicit trafficking in drugs, arms and human beings, with collusion with international criminal groups. Myanmar's economy is also relatively poor and backward, with a per capita GDP of only $1,400, and the pressure of life has led some people to fall into illegal activities, become victims or even accomplices of criminal groups.
Myawaddy, a border city in the Karen State of Myanmar, is also the second largest port in Myanmar. It is bordered by the Mekong River in Thailand's Mae Sot Special Zone. Myawaddy is an unusual place known as the "home base" of Myanmar scam syndicates, with more than 100 parks, the most famous of which is the infamous KK Park. The region is chaotic and powerful, with countless tourists or job seekers deceived into arriving in Thailand, often brought to Myawaddy via the Mekong River. It has descended into a state of anarchy, with clashes between the Burmese army and Kayin State, and Myawaddy a stronghold of rebels and a large number of rebels.
As you can imagine, this situation makes it easy for fraudsters to obtain the "protection" of the local military and police. This makes Myawaddy a stronghold for fraud rings and the last stop for human smuggling, with a worrying level of gravity. According to the Thai police, tens of thousands of Chinese are trafficked to Myawaddy every year, with an average of hundreds of people suffering this fate every day. Against this background, local residents described that drones dropped at least 3 bombs at the police station, the explosion caused a power outage, and the police chief was attacked again by drones while going to investigate, eventually dying. The attack comes at a time when Myanmar's commerce minister is declaring "overall security in Myanmar," a blatant challenge to the government.
As of now, it remains unclear what group orchestrated this horrific attack. However, it is widely believed that this is a blatant demonstration by unstable forces in Myanmar against Chinese and Myanmar law enforcement agencies. From this incident, we can see that the unstable forces in Myanmar are extremely arrogant, and the cooperation between China and Myanmar to combat illegal and criminal activities has become more and more arduous. Recently, Chinese police gathered with counterparts from Thailand, Laos and Myanmar to hold a meeting in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and launched a joint operation called "Cracking Down on Gambling Syndicates and Human Trafficking."
The joint operation underscores the Chinese police's determination to ensure the lives and property of mainland citizens. At the same time, it also shows China's friendly attitude of being willing to cooperate with neighboring countries on an equal footing and jointly improve the local security situation. However, less than half a month later, this shocking news came from Myawaddy. The Myanmar military is currently investigating the matter, and the seriousness of the incident is undoubtedly a blatant provocation to the local government. Judging from the current information, the factors behind the matter are complicated, involving both the black hands of third-party forces and the intricate struggle of interests between the warlord armed forces in northern Myanmar and the military government in Myanmar.
Myawaddy has become a "lair" for Myanmar's fraud syndicates, mainly because it is controlled by local warlords. These warlords see wire fraud as a "new industry" that provides "protection" for wire fraud syndicates, making it difficult for the Myanmar government to fight
Hit. The Myawaddy Police Department, although nominally subordinate to the Myanmar police, is in fact controlled by local warlords and is inextricably linked to the wire fraud syndicate. In this case, the Myawaddy police station was attacked, and the "real culprit" behind the scenes is likely to be "his own person"! The bombing is not only shocking, but also a warning that it is best to avoid travel to Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, Myanmar and Laos in the near future. Recently, many tourists have disappeared after visiting these areas, which is really unusual. We must therefore remain vigilant and ensure our own safety.
Previously, the Myanmar side repeatedly said that the situation was "not serious" and encouraged Chinese tourists to visit Myanmar. However, in fact, with the exposure of many scam parks, the expectations and concerns of Chinese tourists about Myanmar have peaked. If Myanmar wants to attract Chinese tourists, at least address security concerns! A scene from the movie "All or Nothing" impressed many. Anna struggles to escape, only to discover that the police department is actually colluding with the scam park. This episode is deeply disappointing. Recently, a wanted warrant for people fleeing the park has been circulating on the Internet.
According to rumors, local restaurant owners, taxi drivers, etc. are informants for the scam syndicate, and few have managed to escape, and most of them will be caught back to face cruel punishment. This shows that a large number of people have been involved in this country, forming a complete industrial chain. In the face of all this, some people say that the Myanmar embassy claims that all security is false and welcomes Chinese tourists to come, they say it is very safe! Some people say that perhaps Myanmar has a strong fighting capacity, and our strength crushes them and has long taken Myanmar! Some people say that the target of the attack is the director, then it should not be the director who died, they may have deliberately announced the death of the director to cover their eyes, and the chief is likely to have already been
