The Interim President, Duwa Lashi La, announced that the Spring Revolution has progressed into a new phase.
He made this statement during the first-anniversary celebration of the formation of the Chin Brotherhood Organization.
“Our current Spring Revolution is now in the process of transitioning into a new phase. To ensure the success of our Spring Revolution and to free Chin State from the control of the military dictatorship, it is crucial to build unity among the Chin people themselves, between the Chin people and their neighboring ethnic groups, as well as among all ethnic nationalities of the Union. Together, we must strive to establish a Federal Democratic Union,” stated the Interim President.
He further emphasized that the oppressive military has lost control of most towns in Chin State and has also been unable to maintain territorial dominance in Rakhine State, Sagaing Region, Magway Region, and Karenni State.

December 31
The Mandalay Region Emergency Management Committee (EMC) provided over 300 million kyats in humanitarian aid throughout 2024, according to activist Ma Aye Myint Aung.
“Although we managed to provide over 300 million kyats in aid this year, it was still insufficient to fully meet the needs of tens of thousands of internally displaced people affected by the ongoing conflict. We hope for increased domestic and international support for the Mandalay Region in 2025,” she said.
Currently, airstrikes by the oppressive military have led to civilian casualties in areas such as Myinmu and Pyin Oo Lwin townships.
