On February 3, the National Unity Government (NUG), National Unity Consultative Council (NUCC), CRPH, NLD, and Chin National Front jointly issued a statement calling for peaceful resolutions to any disputes among revolutionary forces, framing them as "partner conflicts" that should be addressed through peaceful approaches.
The statement reiterated that the shared objective of all parties is to dismantle the military dictatorship and build a Federal Democratic Union that embodies meaningful transformation in structure and essence. This approach emphasizes equal rights, adherence to the people's will, and the strengthening of state/federal units, using a "bottom-up federalism" strategy from the revolutionary and interim periods until the eventual establishment of a Federal Democratic Union.
The statement further underscored the importance of expanding and solidifying partnerships beyond current alliances to achieve the aspirations of all ethnic nationalities and secure the victory sought by 2025.
It also mentioned six key political directives, including the removal of the military junta, the complete subjugation of all armed forces under the democratic civilian government, the abolition of the 2008 Constitution, and the eradication of any efforts to restore it.
Additionally, the statement highlighted the grave socioeconomic harm inflicted upon Myanmar's people by the junta’s crimes and forced conscriptions. It called on the international community to collaborate with revolutionary forces and provide practical, effective support to alleviate the people's suffering as soon as possible.
