KNO wants Pakistan to stop selling fighter jets to Myanmar

The Kachin National Organisation (KNO) has asked Pakistan to stop selling fighter jets to Myanmar, stating that these could be used against ethnic armed groups by the government.

“The government of Pakistan should take a proactive role in pressuring the Myanmar government to cease further military action that he alleged would inevitably result in widespread human rights abuses in the country” told KNO president U Duwa Bawmwang Laraw, to The Myanmar Times, yesterday.

He accused that the military is using fighter jets for the elimination of ethnic groups and civilians living in conflict areas. (Courtesy of siasat.com)
