2. Union Hluttaw Patron U Aung Kyi Nyunt says that it is crucial for all participants in the revolution not to be divided

At the Myanmar Global Town Hall Meeting: Diplomacy, International Relations, and Collaboration held on February 26, U Aung Kyi Nyunt, Patron of the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (Union Parliament), said the following:

“In the last step [of the revolution], we only need to not be divided. We need to not fall back into the trick of those who have ruled by dividing all along. The international community knows how strong the people are for reform today.”

Similarly, NUG’s Union Minister of Foreign Affairs Daw Zin Mar Aung said, “In terms of position or geography, it is important for our country not to be between any big countries. We practice a free and active foreign policy. The revolution we are going through will not be manipulated by any country, and we won’t accept being a puppet of anyone, both as a country and as a government.

The National Unity Government has established the Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Washington, D.C., as well as representative offices in the Czech Republic, Australia, France, the Republic of Korea, and Japan.

3. NUG’s Deputy Minister of Defence says that drone warfare is being carried out throughout the country as people’s defensive war cannot proceed conventionally

At the fourth fundraising event, “Hands in Hands Together for Tanintharyi’s Victory,” held on February 26, Deputy Defence Minister Naing Kaung Ywut said that drone warfare is currently being carried out throughout the country as people’s defensive war cannot proceed in a conventional manner, as follows:

“Today’s war cannot be fought conventionally. Although it started with Tu-Mee, battles started in Tanintharyi with drones, using the modern technology of the youth. We collaborated with them to provide military training, and we became able to attack using drones. The terrorist military itself also admitted that. The PDFs are capable of utilising drones today; they are waging drone warfare throughout the country.”

Due to the drone assaults by the People’s Defence Forces, the military council troops are suffering great losses in Karen State, Karenni State, Sagaing Division, and Magway Division.

4. Three members of the terrorist military council were killed in an attack on a junta security checkpoint in Waw Township

According to the statement of the Bago Military Region People’s Defence Force, the Waw Township People’s Defence Force (Waw Township PaKaHpa) launched an attack on the junta security checkpoint at the exit of Hpayarpyo village in Bago’s Waw Township, where junta’s military troops, police, and junta-backed Pyu Saw Htee militia were guarded, as part of the operation Nan Htike Aung on February 26 at about 8:30 p.m.

During the attack, the terrorist military council troops could only return fire for about 2 minutes, and a 100-house group elder and two fire personnel, who were in the group, were killed as a result of the assault by defence forces, said the statement. In addition, a sergeant, a deputy superintendent, and two members of Pyu Saw Htee were seriously wounded and were said to have been sent to Yangon General Hospital as emergency inpatients.

It is reported that in the operation, the defence forces took the initiative and were able to successfully retreat without any harm.

5. About 50 people were tortured following the junta’s imposition of martial law in Kyainseikgyi Township, Karen State

The Kyainseikgyi Township People’s Administration Group announced on February 27 that there have been about 50 people who were tortured after martial law was imposed in Kyainseikgyi Township, Karen State.

“The citizens of Kyainseikgyi have complained to the Kyainseikgyi Township People’s Administration Group that the terrorist soldiers of the military council’s divisions and battalions have been engaging in an increasing amount of violence, looting, and extortion in Kyainseikgyi Town since the discriminatory declaration of martial law by the terrorist military council,” said the announcement.”

According to Kyainseikgyi residents, the ministry council’s security forces have been arresting and beating up suspects at security checkpoints set up in the town, in the wards, and at intersections. There have already been roughly 50 victims, as further mentioned in the announcement.

“When I went to Kyainseikgyi market to shop, I was harassed in various ways and asked for money, so I had to pay five thousand [kyats]. They searched both my motorcycle and me. Besides, when I came back from the market, they snatched a fish weighing over a pound that I had bought from the market,” a resident complained to the township people’s administration group.

6. At the Na Bar intersection of Indaw Township, the junta troops check the vehicles coming from the side of Katha Township and extort them
