Myanmar junta lobbyist/arms dealer Ben Menashe has not been paid.

Myanmar junta lobbyist/arms dealer Ben Menashe has not been paid.

https://www.rfa.org/burmese/news/military-coup-lobby-07142021163448.html

Ben M was hired by MAH admin in March, but accding to Reuters, he has stopped work on their acct even though his relations with junta are said to be good.

He was hired for USD 2 m but has not been paid, due to US-led sanctions.

Other than facilitating CNN visit to Burma, it is not revealed what else he has done for Burmese generals in detail.

This is an informal translation, for original , Google Reuters, Myanmar.

I knew it.

It was same story when then junta hired a US lobbyist (same one used by Sadddam H)  in c -1998.

A Mother's Plea--I will be posting photos of the 4 sons shortly.

Dear Parents, the People of Burma—

Please, enter my heart and try to feel what I feel.

Please save my 4 sons (all sentenced to death by junta kangaroo court)

Without any firm evidence

Just sentencing my 4 sons like that

Is too Unjust and Cruel.

Too evil

Please,

Help our family in any way you can.
