📌📌 2. Union Minister Dr. Tu Hkawng said that the scenes of the former dictator and the current dictator are different, and now is a good time for everyone to take action
Union Minister of Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation, Dr. Tu Hkawng, said on October 29 through his social media page that the scenes of the former dictator and the current dictator are different, and now is a good time for everyone to take action.
“It is no longer possible to cease fire in one place and launch an all-out offensive, as in the revolutionary scenes that occurred after 1988. The military council’s enemy front is spread throughout the country, and the wide enemy front is an opportunity for the revolutionaries.
Moreover, since independence, fighting has spread to areas unheard of, and now any well-prepared revolutionary group has a chance to fight.
The enemy can no longer focus in one place. The victory of the KIA and the Northern Shan allies is due to the strength of the Spring Revolution, which has spread across the entire country,” the minister concluded.
“Currently, the enemy’s forces and reinforcements will not be able to easily reach the place where the KIA and the northern Shan region are fighting. It will be because of the revolutionary forces in Sagaing. There is no need to spread the force of a single group like before. The enemy is already having difficulty gathering forces due to groups such as the Karenni region, the KNU region, and the Tanintharyi region.
Therefore, the existence of a revolutionary force that is being watched by the enemy is important, and it is true that wasting the enemy’s forces is a big help to the group that is actually on the offensive,” the Union Minister said.

On October 29, the 3 ethnic armed groups; All Burma Students’ Democratic Front, Chin National Front and Karen National Union, released joint statement, “OPEN LETTER to UNCT, UNSE, UN and ASEAN Member States and JPF”, stating that the military coup of February 2021 violated the basic principles and objectives of the NCA and made its implementation impossible, and they were deeply disappointed in some diplomatic missions and UN agencies in Myanmar that were promoting the collapsed NCA’s Joint Monitoring Committee (JMC) under SAC control as a “neutral agency for humanitarian support”.
The open letter was sent to UNCT, UNSE, UN and ASEAN Member States and JPF. The letter said to rectify the misunderstanding to the UN and its member states, including JPF members that JMC being proposed as “neutral agency for humanitarian support” proposal by some diplomats that claim the KNU’s endorsement of this proposal citing KNU participation at NCA celebration.
“The attendance at the NCA Anniversary events by individual former office bearers and retired members of the KNU should under no circumstances be interpreted as the KNU’s support of the defunct NCA and its “joint” implementations structures,” it stated.
It also stated, “It is unacceptable that SAC-managed entities be mobilized to provide humanitarian support to territories and hundreds of thousands of displaced persons that they are attacking and trying to eliminate or destroy.”
“When international actors promote the SAC’s inaccurate and harmful propaganda narratives, it risks driving greater mistrust in our work towards future inclusive peace, harming public attitudes towards international involvement in our country, fomenting divisions rather than unity, and rewarding the SAC’s commission of human rights atrocities,” it stated.
