There’s been reports of discontent within the military due to successive and overwhelming defeat they’ve been suffering at the hands of resistance factions. Expectations had been that there would be some sort of a coup. Indicating some validity to these rumors, Min Aung Hlaing had placed his former mentors and bosses former generals Than Swe and Thein Sein under security surveillance monitoring them and their families’ movements. Even if this is just a rumor, it certainly is indicative of MAH’s precarious position (or commonly referred to by Burmese as MAL or Ma Aye Loe or motherfucker).
