A public statement by General Saw Mutu Sae Poe, chairman of the Karen National Union, issued on Monday in which he urged stakeholders to follow the negotiation channel to solve Myanmar’s political problems prompted huge criticism in Myanmar, including from the Karen community.
The statement came after the military launched air strikes on civilians from late March to early May in retaliation for attacks on military outposts by Brigade Five of the KNU’s armed wing, the Karen National Liberation Army.
