S.H.A.N : SLORC PLANS TO DISARM CEASEFIRE GROUPS
April 7, 1996

In early March, SLORC Eastern Military Commander Maj. Gen. Tin Thut ( who came
to meet Khun Sa at Ho Murng during the MTA surrender on January 7, 1996 ) met
with SSA top officers Zao zai Nong and Zao Pang Fah in Taunggyi. He told them to
prepare to give up their policy of armed struggle ( in other words to surrender
unconditionally ). Each of the officers, from captains upwards, would be given a
plot of land to build on ( in newly expanded quarters which were formerly fields
confiscated by the SLORC ) and one million kyats in cash.

The SLORC are using all kinds of strategies and temptations to make all the
ceasefire groups eventually lay down their arms.
