The junta will leave no stones unturned to win the elections. For starters the Burmese Army has promised to ferry 100,000 Burman voters to Kachin State from Burma Proper during the country’s yet undated countrywide elections late this year, military sources said. Then the new comers will be settled.

In a twin strategy, the move envisages immediate domination of the Kachin population in the polls with the help of the newly transported Burman population so that the junta-back political party wins the forthcoming elections, and later to control the entire valley, added the sources.
This promise was made early this year to Burmese military leaders in Naypyitaw, the capital of the country and to Maj-Gen Soe Win, commander of Northern Regional Command by the commander of ROC-Danai.
Secret missions on this score, have been undertaken by the ROC-Danai and Chinese-Burman U Htay Myint, chairing the Yuzana Company since late 2006, said natives of the valley.
