Opening
When we review the 2 years of the revolution, we need to see where it started and where it has reached. Even though the murderous terrorist military is an institution that has been built for more than 70 years, now the collective forces of the revolution have reached a situation where they can beat.
It is true that they have paid, hurt, and broken throughout this revolutionary process, but the dream of a new federal democratic state with guarantees of equality, the rule of law, and guarantees of human rights is within reach. In this spring revolution, the people’s support and resilience, and the collective power of trust between the allied forces are very important.
In addition, international support and aid, diplomatic victories, and economic sanctions are also important. It is true that they will be tired of the revolutionary journey, but it is important for the people to keep an eye on the political process and continue to persevere as it is a test that tests their faith, strong perseverance, and consistency.
Military Affairs
It is not wrong if the coming 2023 is the year that the revolution that will bring many changes will be concluded and the people’s victory will begin. The military, which is only armed and willing to use violent violence, has repeatedly committed strategic mistakes and has reached a situation that is isolated and unacceptable to anyone.
We all need to understand that the murderous terrorist army has already been pushed to the end of the road due to the madness of the coup leader, Min Aung Hlaing, and his friends.
It must be recognized that the Spring Revolution, unlike all previous coups, brought victory closer to the world with the advancement of information technology, the world becoming more open, the collectiveness of the generations who have faced the 100 evils and hardships of the dictator, the brave and determined Gen-Z generation’s strong spirit, sacrifice, and determination, along with our ability to lead the National Unity Government, which has received the collective strength and support of the entire ethnic population.
At present, various ethnic areas are dominated by coalition forces, and in strategic military-based areas of the National Unity Government, such as Sagaing and Magway, the People’s Defense Forces are already able to dominate many areas.
In addition, in Mandalay, Bago, Tanintharyi, Yangon, and Ayeyarwaddy regions, we are continuously hearing about urban guerrilla operations and resistance movements every day. In the period of 2021-2022, the armed resistance forces crippled the terrorist military by fighting, and in late 2022 and early 2023, we frequently saw more battles attacking SAC bases, dominated hills, and police stations.
Soon, in 2023, the People’s Defense Forces and allied forces will continue to intensify military pressure to bring down the SAC and the military through territorial battles, camp battles, urban battles, city seizing battles, strategic offensives, and the complete downfall of the SAC. Important achievements in the military sector include the establishment of the Central Coordination Body (C3C) in three operational areas, the Chain of Command (COC) will be strengthened, the establishment of Joint Command and Coordination (J2C) with local defense forces (Local-PDF), and the establishment of the headquarters of the People Defense Force (PDF), indicating that we will be able to develop more strategic military battles.
Cursed by the people’s hatred, the murderous terrorist military and all their accomplices are said to die of stumbling-block and landmines while walking, and every time they come face-to-face with the ground defense forces, the military, which no longer has perseverance, conviction, and belief, is suffering casualties. The SAC’s only advantage was its air support, so it could hold out for so long.
However, the SAC’s excessive use of force attacks not only on military targets, but also on civilian targets, including hospitals, clinics, schools, churches, monasteries, and religious buildings, has made it increasingly difficult for the international community to turn a blind eye to genocide and war crimes.
The National Unity Government is cooperating with ethnic armed allies in the areas of military, security, defense, administration, distribution of basic humanitarian aid, and other areas such as international relations, fundraising, cutting the military’s foreign income, and leading the public as the front of the revolution. The defense forces who are ready to make sacrifices all over Myanmar are ready for the public liberation struggle in history.
Allied Affairs
We all know that the election of the SAC is the only way out of the current political pressure crisis, and the solution to ending the armed conflict to achieve internal peace is the end of the dictatorship and the emergence of a new federal democratic state. The entire people of Myanmar already know that not expecting equality and self-determination from the military leaders who sell dog meat by hanging the heads of goats (which means fake activities of them). The whole people already know that the next step into the game created by military dictators will further alienate the dreams of equality and federal democracy for the next two decades.
The character of the dictatorial system, racial and religious oppression, and discrimination, which are rooted in the dictator, must also be driven away, and it is important not to lose sight of the fact to succeed in the current most important anti-dictatorship project as well as. Therefore, as one of the People, let me urge you to be aware of harmful thoughts and actions, and to give priority to driving out the SAC and the terrorist military that are destroying the country as soon as possible. Impractical thinking, extreme deviance, and too much personal interest will delay the success of the revolution. As a result, leaders who are involved in situations that may lead to the failure of the revolution without any benefit to themselves and the people, and become the culprit of history, should be careful.
It is a situation where the people of the whole country of Myanmar can understand and accept the demands of various ethnic groups from a situation where they were unable to build understanding long ago. From this, as the next step, we need to quickly implement practical political agreements aimed at the current situation. As one of the People, I pray that each group involved in the revolution will be able to build more trust by recognizing and respecting each other, and achieve fair political agreements, and overthrowing the military dictator together.
Foreign Affairs
No matter how much the SAC tries to gain international recognition and legitimacy, a handful of countries are engaged with them only as arms dealers, and customers, and even within the regional ASEAN countries, they are excluded as criminals committing crimes against humanity. In addition, there is an agreement that the current Five Point Consensus needs to be reviewed at ASEAN’s highest-level meetings. The NUG is gaining recognition from the European Parliament, obtaining separate agreements with European countries. The inclusion of the Burma Act in the United States NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) is a recognition of the CRPH (the Committee of Representatives of the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw), the National Unity Government (NUG), the People’s Defense Forces (PDF) and the democratic forces. Also, if we receive the necessary technical assistance from the US government under the NDAA, the military’s air support and heavy weapons support will be able to respond effectively as defense forces and allied forces.
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) also remained neutral, along with Russia and China, who are protesting about the Myanmar issue, and India remained neutral, and the remaining 12 countries supported it. The rigidity of the international legal framework to take action against the SAC, which was supported by the remaining 12 countries, is a diplomatic victory of the Spring Revolution, meaning that the SAC and military leaders could be hanged. In addition, when U Kyaw Moe Tun continues to receive the second credential to represent at the UN, the world will not believe and listen to the lies of the SAC, and the NUG has the right to show the world the inhumane, brutal, oppressive and brutal killings of the military in Myanmar on behalf of the people of Myanmar.
As a message to the international community, this revolution is born from the struggles of various basic classes of the people, and the meeting between the military, ethnic armed forces, and political parties without the public will or public support, or their sham elections, cannot bring any stability or results. The entire people have already understood that the military will only do its utmost to maintain its power and that it only has sugar-coated fake actions and promises to cover up the international community, and plans to terrorize and kill pro-democracy revolutionaries. The international community, which is not interested in the true peace of Myanmar and is looking at the solution to the momentary conflict, will only be pretending not to see the true situation of Myanmar and the true wishes of the people of Myanmar.
In addition, giving the military a chance to reconcile with the ethnic armed groups, or engaging with the military, is creating more violence and killings against the people who are fighting the revolution, especially the people of Anyar (upcountry -especially the region adjoining the upper reaches of the Ayeyarwaddy River). I want the negotiators to be aware that the lives of the people of Anyar have been put at risk. It has spread widely and loudly enough that what the entire ethnic people are asking for is only the total fall of the dictatorship.
Domestic affairs
The rural people are being murdered and burnt, the law and order are insecure, the commodity prices are extremely high, and the economy is bankrupt. Even though the resilience of the People of Rural and Urban, who are supporting the revolution, has shocked the world. What we need is the end of the military dictatorship and the voice of a new federal democratic state has echoed. Along with the insurmountably bankrupt domestic economy, the terrorist military’s means of income have been affected, and it has become increasingly difficult to purchase weapons to kill its own people in order to stay in power.
Along with the submission of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) money laundering blacklist, sanctions targeting the military’s main source of income, MOGE, are likely to tighten. Here, the revolutionary government needs to continue to take the best lead in order to bring about faster changes and end the revolution as soon as possible. In the sense that there is a black sheep anywhere, we need to be able to fix the situation of a rat’s excrement in the rice offered to monks as soon as possible. In the same way, the public needs to remember that the strength of the country lies only with the people, to give them faith in the revolution, and to participate with all their hearts and souls.
We must not forget that strong mutual trust between the leaders and the People who support them is an important weapon for the success of this revolution. As patriotic Myanmar citizens abroad, they need to participate in continuing to provide support. Especially as expatriate citizens, maintaining the importance of Myanmar’s affairs on the world front, as well as continuously obtaining the necessary financial resources for the revolution, are aspects that have the ability to change the revolution.
The People’s persistence, trust, and unwavering commitment to the goal of the revolution all show how hungry the People are for overthrowing the military dictatorship and for democracy. Unarmed non-violent resistance is becoming a death sentence, but ground strikes and public strikes have not stopped. By looking at this, it shows the perseverance of this generation and how strong and how paid they are to the fall of the military.
Let me just ask a question: how will the people look at the political leaders, ethnic leaders, businessmen, and literary scholars who have not yet participated in the revolution and who have not yet stood by the revolution with the situation so close to the fall of the military dictator?
The Spring Revolution is more than just an election result for a government to come to power, they are fighting together on the foundation of establishing a country for all people of different religions and ethnicities living in Myanmar. Therefore, in the coming year 2023, we will definitely be able to defeat the terrorist military with a unified alliance. We have come to 2023 when we will gather as one. This year, I would like to urge people to come together with one voice and one time, and let’s knock down the military dictator.
