1. Union Prime Minister says strategies are being developed and implemented to complete the Spring Revolution as quickly as possible
The Union Prime Minister Mahn Win Khaing Than said that strategies are being developed and implemented to complete the Spring Revolution as quickly as possible. The Prime Minister stated this at the Interim Local Public Administration Central Committee’s (4/2023) meeting on January 26.
“The military dictator revolution will soon be reached in two years. During this period, the government’s actions were remarkably successful. These two years period is not too long for us, but it is so long for the people who suffer from the terrorist military council’s cruel oppression. Therefore, strategies are being developed and implemented to ensure the spring revolution is completed as quickly as possible,” the Prime Minister stated.
“As the terrorist group is trying to divide in various ways, the revolutionary forces must pay special attention to security. I also want security measures in place at the ministries. They must be more cautious, especially in military matters. The stricter the military group becomes, the more it endangers the revolutionary forces’ security and lives. As a result, I would like to strongly urge both government officials and allied revolutionary forces to prioritize security. To achieve a successful revolution, we must lay the foundation in advance to facilitate the issues that will be addressed after the revolution, and for the people to live safely and comfortably,” the Prime Minister added.
