Jobless youth recruited to Rakhine State police force to fight ‘insurgents’

SITTWE—With the aim of protecting Rakhine State, more than 150 jobless ethnic-minority youths will be trained as police officers to serve as security personnel. They will be employed by the Frontier Force and regional police force in Rakhine State.

“The [ethnic-minority police] will implement not only policing but also border security affairs. They must use fighting techniques developed to repel insurgents. Ethnic police strength will be reinforced to protect Rakhine State against the enemy. The police force is the second defensive wall after the army. Therefore, they must protect the people against insurgents. They must serve as the police members at the police battalions and frontier forces,” said Police Col Nay Myo from the Rakhine State Police Force.
