Exile source said that Than Shwe and Maung Aye stepped down from military commander in chief and deputy commander in chief. However, it wasn’t cleared that they also stepped down from military council and SPDC. Replacement for their positions is General Thura Shwe Mann and Gen Myint Swe, sources said.
BurmaDD has contacted one of the close associates with SPDC and said that this news shouldn’t be regarded and there is very unlikely because there have no news of this historical changes until yesterday from generals. If so, mid level generals could have very much work loads because of new bosses. But regime source noted that both Gen Shwe Mann and Myint Swe have been unofficially promoted to handle major operation responsibility behalf of both Than Shwe and Maung Aye in post Saffron Revolution in 2007.
One of the very well known journalists stressed if this news is true, both are ready to enter 2010 election and ready to be president and vice president. He does think these news could be wondering.
