1. Union Prime Minister Mahn Winn Khine Thann claims that only unity will be able to drive out the dictator permanently
At the fourth fundraising event of “Hands in Hands Together for Tanintharyi’s Victory,” held on February 26, Union Prime Minister Mahn Winn Khine Thann said:
“We will be able to drive out the dictator, which is the goal we want, only if we are united and obedient, standing back-to-back and embracing each other. Therefore, from here, I would like to urge everyone again to be patient, to be more united, and to respect the rules and regulations.”
The National Unity Government has developed a one-year strategic plan and is implementing it for the success of the revolution and is cooperating with ethnic resistance organisations on military and political matters.
The Union Prime Minister added, “Our revolution, which started with Tu-Mee [homemade black powder firearms], is now more powerful with a certain level of armament and the more skilled experience of the PDF members.”
2. NUG establishes the Fire Safety Service in Ye-U Township
The Ministry of Home Affairs and Immigration, the National Unity Government, issued Announcement No. 4/2023 dated February 26 on the establishment of the Ye-U Township Fire Safety Service, as follows:
“The Fire Department of the Ministry of Home Affairs and Immigration of the National Unity Government established the Ye-U Fire Safety Service in order to prevent arson attacks by the terrorist military council and to carry out firefighting and search and rescue operations in Ye-U Township, Shwebo District, Sagaing Region.”
As of January 31, 2023, Myanmar’s military and its affiliated groups had burned down approximately 55,484 civilian houses across the country, among them, 43,292 were in Sagaing Region, 8,863 in Magway Region, 1,484 in Chin State, and 1,845 in other states and regions, according to the Data for Myanmar.
3. Instead of being developed, Tanintharyi Division has become unstable due to the inhumane actions of the terrorist military leaders
At the fourth fundraising event, “Hands in Hands Together for Tanintharyi’s Victory,” held on February 26, Union Minister of International Cooperation Dr. Sasa said the following regarding the Tanintharyi:
“Tanintharyi is like California in the United States; everything has already been created. Instead of being developed like that, due to the inhumanity of Myanmar’s terrorist military leaders, Tanintharyi was not given the opportunity it was able to receive and has reached this situation today.”
Subsequently, Union Minister of Communications, Information and Technology U Htin Linn Aung also said:
“This region needs to be liberated now. For this liberation, we NUG support as much as we can, and the public has also supported it by organising fund-raising events like this. Now that there is another fundraising event, we must promote this region more. We must be able to provide support, and if we can do this, the revolutionary forces will have the chance to gather more weapons quickly.”
Tanintheryi Region is a significant area since it borders Thailand to the east and south, the Andaman Sea to the west, and it can carry commodities by sea trade, which can generate a lot of tax revenue.

“It is saddened to learn that Lamkhochon Guite, 32, one of the 80 people detained in Sajiwa Jail in Imphal, Manipur, died last night of a cardiac arrest. I see that the unnecessary detentions result in loss of life that shouldn’t be.”
A total of 94 Myanmar refugees have been arrested and detained for illegal immigration in India’s Manipur state, according to Isaac Khen.
