Military Nets 16-Billion-Kyat Drug Haul in Northern Shan State

Post by phuketrichard »

Thats 10.6 MILLION $$$ $10,600,000
By Lawi Weng 1 August 2019

The Myanmar military (or Tatmadaw) recently seized a large amount of illegal drugs—and the ingredients and equipment used to produce them—from among 96 camps in Kutkai Township, in northern Shan State, according to the military.

On July 29, the Tatmadaw reported the seizure of 16-billion-kyats ($10.6 million) worth of goods in 96 small jungle camps on the east side of Kutkai Township, the largest such seizure this year.

and going on the assumption they catch less than 10%, theres no wonder why there is so much Yaba /Ice around

Much of the profits go to continue the Shan fight against the Tatmadaw
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST
