The National Unity Government (NUG) officially formed the People’s Defense Force (PDF) on 5 May 2021.
At present, 257 battalions and 250 local people’s defense forces have been formed.
Union Minister Dr. Tu Hkawng says that the Spring Revolution is a long-term race to change the entire political system
Union Minister Dr. Tu Hkawng said, “The spring revolution is not a 100-meter race, but a long-distance race. In order to change the entire political system in the long run, we must aim for a federal democracy that guarantees peace and human security that no one has to continue to fight, not aiming at a single target called the overthrow of the military dictatorship.”
The National Unity Government declared a nationwide resistance war on 7 September 2021.
At present, the National Unity Government is preparing to intensify the resistance revolution.

The junta had killed over 2,000 civilians and had detained over 10,000 civilians since the military coup.
Union Minister U Htin Linn Aung says that The Spring Lottery may resume when NUGPay launches
Union Minister for Communications, Information and Technology said, “There are many difficulties in the Spring Lottery. There are problems with domestic telephones, because, now, telephone numbers must also be registered. We focus on public safety. So, at the moment, it is not in a position to continue the Spring Lottery. By the time NUGPay is launched, the Spring Lottery may be able to operate.”
The Spring Lottery was a popular lottery system that used to be opened on a monthly basis.
Most of the proceeds of the Spring Lottery were used to support the civil servants who participated in CDM.

Only 20% of Min Aung Hlaing’s residents, 14/Inya shares left to sell
End of Dictatorship (EOD), a project for selling the shares of properties which were illegally seized by the terrorist leader and its associates, released a statement on 23 June.
The statement said, “The revolution is still moving forward step by step, with blood, sweat, and tears of people. How can we respond to what people lost and paid for? Take back it by buying the EOD shares of 14/Inya residence which was illegally seized by the terrorist leader. EOD guarantees that the proceeds will reach the areas most needed for the revolution as soon as possible. The sooner and the more the support for the revolution is available, the faster the revolution will succeed, and the less people will have to shed blood, sweat, and tears. 14/Inya has only 20% left. Let’s buy EOD shares and take over the land to become a public-owned land as soon as possible.”
