๐๐ 2. “Preventing the junta’s election is the responsibility of all Karen people,” says KNU Chairperson
August 12
“The prevention of the junta’s election must be regarded as the responsibility of all Karen people,” said Padoh Saw Kwe Htoo Win, Chairperson of the Karen National Union (KNU), on the occasion of the 75th Karen National Martyrs’ Day.
“The military dictatorship is preparing intensively to hold a nationwide election before the end of this year in accordance with the 2008 Constitution. They are using various means to secure victory in that election. The purpose of holding this election is solely to deceive and gain recognition from the international community. Conducting this election would reaffirm the 2008 Constitution, which grants the military a central role in politics, and would allow the military dictatorship to hold political leadership indefinitely. It will also escalate and intensify the ongoing conflicts in the country. Most importantly, holding the election will determine and seal the fate of the younger generations. Therefore, preventing this election from being held must be regarded as the responsibility of all Karen people,” he said.
He further stated that efforts to uproot the military dictatorship will continue in every possible way, working in unity from all fronts.

Since the coup by the terrorist military, environmental protection and impact considerations have been entirely neglected, with decisions made unilaterally and without regard for conservation.
