๐ฉ๐ฉ 1. Nai Kong Ywet warns that if sufficient military and political influence cannot be established, Mon State could fall into the hands of others
June 14
If sufficient military and political mobilization, as well as territorial control, is not achieved amid the momentum of the revolution, Mon State’s 10 townships risk falling into the hands of others, warned Nai Kong Ywet, according to Lagone Ein journal, dated June 14.
Nai Kong Ywet, who is the Chairperson of the Mon State Federal Council (MSFC) and also serves as the Deputy Minister of Defense for the National Unity Government (NUG), issued this warning in a speech delivered during the third MSFC Council Conference.
He stated that although the Mon people have long engaged in generations of struggle for national liberation and the right to self-determination, the ultimate goal remains unfulfilled, even during the current Spring Revolution.
He emphasized that Mon revolutionary forces must now realistically assess the current situation on the ground and unite their strengths without delay. He urged collaboration with other allied revolutionary forces sharing the same goals.
Furthermore, he stressed the need to form a revolutionary representative government for Mon State comprising all revolutionary forces. He also called for the establishment—starting now—of governance, judiciary, and legislative institutions for a future Mon federal unit.
“We need to organize public services, security, and defense systems. As we overthrow the failed system, we must be ready to replace it with a better one. That means preparing in advance and ensuring we are capable of assuming governance responsibilities ourselves,” said the MSFC Chair.
In his opening remarks, Nai Kong Ywet referenced historical stages of the Mon revolution:
The first generation, during the revolutionary journey from 1970 when U Nu formed an armed alliance, to 1987, which saw the reunification of the splintered New Mon State Party (NMSP).
The second generation, from 1988 to 1995, marked by a period of low revolutionary momentum, ending in a ceasefire agreement with the SLORC military regime.
He stated that the third generation of the Mon revolution emerged alongside the people’s resistance to the 2021 military coup, walking a revolutionary path towards federal democracy in partnership with allied revolutionary forces for the past four years.
Before the MSFC was officially formed, the Mon State Interim Coordination Committee (MSICC) had sent three representatives to the NUG:
Nai Thuwunna (Minister for Labour),
Nai Kong Ywet (Deputy Minister for Defense), and
U Min Zeya Oo (Deputy Minister for Planning, Finance, and Investment).
Nai Kong Ywet described the MSICC as the revolutionary body of this third generation of the Mon revolution.

๐ฉ๐ฉ 2. KNU Chair urges total eradication of those fostering conflict through supremacist and authoritarian ideologies
June 14
Padoh Saw Kwe Htoo Win, the Chairperson of the Karen National Union (KNU), called for the complete eradication of those who incite internal conflict using racial supremacism and authoritarianism. His remarks were delivered during his speech commemorating the 76th Kawthoolei Day on June 14.
Kawthoolei Day marks the establishment of the Kawthoolei government and symbolizes the Karen people's exercise of self-determination and self-governance in addressing the needs and aspirations of the local population, he stated.
The KNU Chair explained that exercising self-determination is a political directive for the revolutionary period—an assertion that people must create their own political destiny. He emphasized that this principle should not only guide the Karen people but all ethnic nationalities seeking prosperity and development through self-governance and public administration.
He went on to stress that the evolving political, administrative, and social realities require deep understanding, study, and adaptability. It is essential to nurture a new generation capable of shaping and managing its own future, he said.
The Chair also encouraged educated youth to participate in the building of Kawthoolei by contributing across various sectors. Furthermore, he called on all people to collectively strive toward the establishment of a Federal Democratic Union, which guarantees peaceful and dignified living conditions for all.
At present, the KNU is working alongside other ethnic revolutionary organizations and anti-junta forces in Myanmar to oppose military dictatorship and to build a Federal Democratic Union.

๐ฉ๐ฉ 4. Junta Troops Execute Three Civilians in Hpakant and Mutilate Their Bodies
June 14
Military council troops operating in Hpakant Township executed three civilians by gunfire, mutilated their bodies, and dumped them by the roadside, according to local sources.
The bodies were found in the early morning of June 13 near a hill on the southern side of Hmaw Si Sar Village. All three victims were male.
Witnesses said the bodies showed signs of brutal mutilation, including severed limbs, gouged-out eyes, and at least one victim’s skull having been crushed. Such acts have sparked renewed warnings among local residents to avoid any contact with junta columns.
The same military column had also reportedly executed three other young men on the night of June 11, dumping their bodies at the Hmaw Si Sar junction.
These repeated acts of atrocity by junta troops have spread widespread fear among residents, many of whom are now terrified at the mere presence of military patrols in the area.
Since late May, this military column has been operating in Hpakant Township, not only targeting civilians with killings but also reportedly burning down company-owned jade mining sites, sources said.
This report was filed by Radio NUG correspondent Ko Khant.
