The message also expressed the hope that, in building a Federal Democratic Union that fully guarantees freedom, justice, and self-determination, collaboration will continue with allied ethnic revolutionary organizations as well as various domestic and international forces.
It paid tribute to the Kachin national leaders, the Kachin Independence Organization (KIO), and the Kachin Independence Army (KIA), which have been established to fight for the liberation of the entire Kachin nation, and which have steadfastly continued the Kachin revolutionary journey up to the present. It honored the historic sacrifices of KIO/KIA leaders who gave their lives in both past people’s struggles and the ongoing Spring Revolution—particularly KIO/KIA Chair and Commander-in-Chief Gen. GOC Lahtaw Zau Seng, Vice Commander-in-Chief VCS Lahtaw Zaw Tu, and General Secretary Salang Kaba Pungshwi Zau Seng—as well as the bravery, patriotism, resilience, and capability of Kachin people and KIO/KIA soldiers, which remain a source of pride and respect.
The message noted that the Kachin people have endured many years of suffering under the brutality of military dictatorship and continue to face violent acts, including ongoing airstrikes. It expressed admiration for the resolve and dignity of Kachin leaders and soldiers who, despite such hardship, continue to stand firmly alongside their people and fight on.
Finally, the CRPH reaffirmed its belief that in the political, military, and judicial spheres, as well as in other sectors of public life, it will be able to continue working in harmony with all revolutionary forces.
