Revolutionary forces must not only continue their efforts to fight and dismantle the terrorist military council but also do everything possible to assist the civilians who are facing immense hardship due to the junta’s oppression.
Therefore, the revolutionary forces must unite and bring an end to this struggle as soon as possible, as that is the only way to alleviate the suffering of the people from all aspects.
At a time when unity is more crucial than ever, all revolutionary forces must firmly adhere to people-centered actions and policies, keeping their focus on the revolution while making every effort to overcome ideological differences."*
