“Our National Unity Government started from zero, but today we are able to face the terrorist military group from all aspects, and we are all aware that we can already perform better in some areas. We have accomplished so much in such a short period of time because of the strong determination of all ethnic peoples to reject the dictatorship system.”

“We are encouraged to receive the funds needed to achieve the National Unity Government’s one-year plan. On the other hand, we are very pleased to know that our people’s perception and beliefs about the revolution have not diminished even slightly in light of the success of these [fundraising] projects.

📌📌 3. NUG’s Union Minister Dr. Tu Hkawng says that the seed of a political system that will guarantee for the future generations will be sown
February 8th
On February 8, while talking about the Panglong Agreement, Union Minister Dr. Tu Hkawng added that the seed of a political system that will ensure future generations will be sown, as follows:
“The most important thing in the federal democratic system, which is the essence of the Panglong Agreement, is the distribution of legislative, judicial, and administrative powers to the federal units. In the era of parliamentary democracy after independence, the leaders of the Anti-Fascist People’s Freedom League (AFPFL), led by elected MPs, failed to implement these concepts. They wanted to concentrate power in the central government, making it easier for those who wanted to seize power to do so. We must not repeat old mistakes in this revolution; instead, we will sow the seed of a political system that will guarantee for future generations.”
The Union Prime Minister added that even though it might take a while to create a guaranteed political system for building a peaceful country, it won’t be allowed to fail.

Ambassador U Kyaw Moe Tun, Permanent Representative of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar to the United Nations, stated about Myanmar children who are being killed in Myanmar at the First Regular Session of the UNICEF Executive Board, held on February 7, 2023, as follows:
“Since February 2021, children have been among arbitrarily detained, displaced, held as hostages, in some cases tortured and murdered by the inhumane military across Myanmar. In fact, the children of Myanmar were often the targets of the violence. For example, the military launched airstrikes, artillery attacks and mortar shells into a self-supporting school in Sagain, a kindergarten in Karenni (Kayah) and a child’s naming ceremony in Rakhine from September to November last year, killing 11 children in total. 165 children were killed by the junta in 2022 alone, a 78 percent increase from 2021.”
“In addition to indiscriminate attacks on children and educational facilities, the junta has been deliberately denying humanitarian access for children,” the ambassador said.
According to OCHA, 5.6 million children are in need of humanitarian assistance, experiencing food insecurity, limited access to clean water, routine immunizations and education.
