On January 7, 2024, at around 10:00 A.M, Myanmar time, at least 17 people were killed and at least 30 were injured when the Military Junta fighter Jets bombed Kanan\u00a0 Village on Kalay-Tamu road near Khampat Town, Tamu District, Sagaing region.<\/span><\/p>\n

Attacks on schools and Christian Churches that are not military targets<\/b><\/h5>\n

At around 10 A.M on January 7<\/span>th<\/span>, the Military Junta dropped 2 bombs on the vicinity of the Kanan village Baptist Church and school without a ground battle, killing 17 civilians, including children, and injuring at least 30, according to a Kanan resident.<\/span><\/p>\n

Regarding the incident, \u201cThey (Military Junta jets) dropped bombs on the school. The building was destroyed, and 2 children who were playing football on the football field near the school died instantly. The second bomb was also very destructive. It hit a Church with worshippers inside (during a worship service). 17 had died, most were children, and the others were also seriously injured\u201d said a resident of Kanan. (Khonumthung, 7 January 2024)<\/span><\/p>\n

Are Civilians sacrificing their lives to boost the morale of the Military Junta who are defeated and demoralized from all fronts?\u00a0<\/b><\/h5>\n

On\u00a0 January 4, 2024, on the 71<\/span>st<\/span> day of the 1027 operation, the surrender of more than 4,000 soldiers, including 6 Senior Brigadier Generals, which has never been experienced in the history of Myanmar\u2019s military, caused a huge stir in the military junta community, and reports from military sources that they are losing morale have spread throughout the news media.<\/span><\/p>\n

On January 7<\/span>th<\/span>, 3 days after the surrender,\u00a0 without any battle in Tamu District, Sagaing Division,\u00a0 17 Civilians were killed and 30 were injured due to the bombing of the Kanan sanpya village near Khampat town, which was obviously just to boost the morale of the military junta, whose morale is declining for no reason.<\/span><\/p>\n

Military Junta still conflicting between words and actions<\/b><\/h5>\n

On the occasion of Christmas on December 25, 2023, the Chairman of the Military Junta (Min Aung Hlaing) and his wife attended the service of the Saint Michael Catholic Church in Pyinmana, Nay Pyi Taw, and gave a speech on the path of peace, according to the propaganda media of the Military Junta.<\/span><\/p>\n

Again, in his New Year\u2019s speech on January 1, 2024, he also called for a concerted effort by all stakeholders to ensure that youths can be educated at the age when they should be educated.\u00a0 And he urged everyone to walk towards the new state that everyone hopes for, with compassion and love for each other, regardless of our differences in ethnicity, religion or regional issues.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, just days after these speeches, their brutality against civilians, including future youth, in an area inhabited by ethnic Chin people who were not related to the military target, is just another proof that the military junta\u2019s words and actions are still inconsistent.<\/span><\/p>\n
