๐๐ 1. Chin State Prioritized for Junta-Free Operations, Says Salai Htet Ni
February 15
The primary objective this year is to make Chin State junta-free, even if the entire country cannot achieve this, according to Salai Htet Ni, Secretary-1 of the Chinland Council.
He made this statement during a press conference held by the Chinland Council on February 6.
"Even if we cannot accomplish it nationwide, 2025 is the year we strategically and systematically work to make Chin State free of the junta," Salai Htet Ni stated.
The Chinland Council also announced that resistance forces have taken control of seven out of approximately 20 townships in Chin State.
Meanwhile, the ‘Chin National Brotherhood’ has also launched operations and taken control of key district-level towns, including Mindat and Matupi, as well as Kyindwe, Kanpetlet, and Makui Ain Nu.
This means that only Hakha, Thantlang, Tedim, and Falam remain under junta control in Chin State.
At present, ‘Chin National Brotherhood’ forces are conducting operations to fully capture Falam.
In Hakha, the junta still holds strategic positions alongside Infantry Battalion 266. Meanwhile, Infantry Battalion 268 is stationed in Falam, Infantry Battalion 269 in Tedim, and both Infantry Battalions 268 and 269 oversee junta forces in Thantlang.
