In #Sittwe #Akyab in the #IDP camp of #AungMinglar the Regional Military Commander (believed to be Mying Aung Lwin) visited #Rohingya community leaders for about 45 minutes.

He went on to explain the 3 main reasons why the #Tatmadaw has taken control:
1. 1 million voters in #Rakhine left off voter lists
2. #NLD violated #Covid19 rules
3. #NLD didn't respond to #military demands of voter lists

He claimed:
"We took the control over the country not to destroy the country and the lives of public. But to develop and make public satisfied by conducting fair election again.”

He asked #Rohingya leaders of their concerns to which they replied being locked in #AungMinglar with no free movement. He said the military would grant free movement and resolve all Rohingya issues step by step in due course.

He asked for #Rohingya to respect local laws and rules and concluded by donating 500,000 MMK (about $360) and food for the local mosques. This happened between 12 midday and 12.45pm.
The #internet was restored to most of #Rakhine state later too.
