19965438+In February, the Associated Press published photos of two "baby bandits" of the anti-government armed forces "Lord's Army" in Myanmar. Their twin brothers Luther Thor and Johnny Htoo were only 12 years old. In the photo, Lu Se assumed a sophisticated posture with a cigarette in his mouth, while Johnny beside him still seemed timid. It is hard to imagine that these two naive children are the leaders of the "Lord's Army" who hijacked more than 500 hostages in a Thai hospital two months ago. Naive temperament and cruel behavior are combined in them-it is this incredible contrast that makes this pair of "doll bandits" leave an indelible impression in many people's hearts.

Time flies. Now Lu Se and Johnny have grown up and just turned 18 this year. On the 25th of this month, news came from Myanmar that his younger brother Johnny had led nine followers of the Lord's Resistance Army to the Burmese government.

Surrender. The boy who grew up in the war said that he hoped to live safely with his parents and family from now on, but Myanmar did not disclose the news of his brother Lu Se.

The tongues and nails of the two brothers are purple-black, which is regarded as a symbol of God by members of the "Lord's Resistance Army". However, western medical experts believe that this is because they lack oxygen in their blood.

After all, the two brothers are young and often act very emotional, sometimes serious and sometimes naive. They claimed that they had never cried. In addition, the two are still "senior" smokers, smoking all day long.

According to a comprehensive report in this newspaper, Johnny, one of the twin brothers who led the Lord's Resistance Army in Myanmar, and nine followers of the Lord's Resistance Army have surrendered to the Myanmar government. Johnny also handed over some guns and ammunition to the Burmese army.

However, Myanmar media reports didn't mention anything about my brother Lu Se.
