The killing of Zhou Tone Ong, who was a former ambassador in Cambodia, is the latest attack against the ruling army -related figures who led to the country’s acquisition in 2021 after it brought out the government of Aung San São.

Since the coup and the NGOs in Myanmar were widespread, the targeted assassinations were made against active military officers and high -level retired, as well as senior civil staff, local officials, and business partners from the ruling generals and the suspected informants.

Shortly after the assassination, Golden Valley Woriors said in a statement posted on Facebook that Chu Ton Ong was studying internal security and combating terrorism at the National Defense College of Myanmar, and, through his actions, was complicit in the atrocities committed by the army in the ongoing civil war.
