Interviewer: Hamid Hussain (VOA Rohingya Lifeline reporter)
Topic: Reactions of Rohingya activists to Myanmar's military backed caretaker government with army chief as PM.
Guests and Translation Summary:
Guest: Mr. Mohammad Eleyas
A Rohingya Activist
Based in Amsterdam, Netherlands
Translation Summary: Eleyas told VOA Rohingya Lifeline that Sr: Min Aung Hlaing has two goals and objectives in forming a caretaker government: 1st is to get the caretaker government recognized as no one in the international community has recognized the junta government since the February 1 coup. The second is to earn legitimacy at the forthcoming UN General Assembly. He followed the same policy as U Nu (The first Prime Minister of Burma) formed the caretaker government in 1958 and had ruled the country for a long time. Min Aung Hlaing promised in his announcement that an election would be held in 2023 but according to the military election system of Burma’s history, they would elect as they wished, and eventually, they would win.
Guest: Mohammad Noor
A Rohingya Activist
Based in California, USA
Translation Summary: Noor told VOA Rohingya Lifeline that the army chief, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, has formed a caretaker government to turn public opinion from a negative to a positive one with the help of international diplomacy. Another point is that even months after the military coup, no one in the international community has taken action against the military. The NUG government's diplomatic policy has failed internationally. Therefore, the junta took another opportunity due to the weakness of the international community and the NUG government. They could hold an election in 2023 to get international support.
Guest: Salemul Kalam
A Rohingya Activist
Based in Victoria, Australia
Translation Summary: Kalam told VOA Rohingya Lifeline that last Sunday in a statement on television, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing announced that he would serve two years as caretaker Prime Minister and will hold an election in 2023. But there is no history in the past where the military has kept all its promises, so it is unacceptable and unbelievable. In his speech, Min Aung Hlaing alleged that NLD and CRPH were using the COVID-19 virus as a bioterrorism in the country. According to the analysis, there is no possibility of elections in 5 years and the army will not give a chance to elect a democratic government according to the will of the people of Myanmar.
