Although the General does not specifically identify who these traitors are, the subtext is unmistakable. The warning appears to target communities and ethnic groups, particularly the Rohingya, who are not aligned with or supportive of the AA armed struggle against the Myanmar military. By framing non-support as betrayal, the General effectively dehumanizes those who refuse to align with the AA, equating it with treason. This rhetoric is deeply dangerous. It constructs a binary worldview, either you are with the AA or you are a traitor and leaves no room for the complex realities of identity, survival, and political autonomy in conflict zones like Rakhine State. Such messaging not only justifies punitive action but also incites violence, particularly against the Rohingya, who are already marginalized. In one of his tweets, the General criticizes what he calls the ‘biases’ of human rights activism, claiming that it is driven by “sensationalism and politics” rather than ‘genuine concern for justice’. While this framing already attempts to undermine the legitimacy of national and international human rights organizations, the tweet takes a more troubling turn by accusing these very groups of “cultivating and nurturing criminal gangs” in Rakhine. Although he avoids naming specific organizations or communities, the underlying message is clear: he is pointing toward the Rohingya community and the rights groups that have documented and exposed their persecution. 93
