1. Union Prime Minister Mahn Winn Khine Thann says at the ILACC meeting that it is important for the ministers to meet with the relevant township officials to listen to and address the problems
At the meeting (9/2023) of the Interim Local Administration Central Committee (ILACC), held virtually on March 2, Union Prime Minister Mahn Winn Khine Thann remarked the following:
- It is necessary for the ministers to meet with the relevant township officials to listen and address the problem,
- The recommendations and reviews should be added in the work reports of the ministries,
- On the matters that need coordination across ministries, bilateral/multilateral discussions between the pertinent ministries or discussions brought to the central committee are required,
- As the success of implementing local administration is dependent on how seriously the challenges and issues faced by the ground administration groups can be addressed, relevant policies must be evaluated on the one hand, and solutions must be found through productive discussions and negotiations on the other.
Union Ministers, Deputy Ministers, Permanent Secretaries, and officials from relevant departments attended the meeting.

Union Minister Naw Susanna Hla Hla Soe included this in her video message sent to congratulate the 2nd anniversary of the OCTOPUS youth organisation:
“These young people are the frontlines of our Spring Revolution. The people of Myanmar have never been able to enjoy a genuine democracy. They have always been brutally oppressed and denied human rights by generations of different dictators, including the military regime. With this Spring Revolution, we will build a just and fair federal democratic nation together with OCTOPUS, many youth forces, diverse ethnic groups, and the whole public.”

-
No (33) Light Infantry Division of the terrorist junta, stationed in Hti Saung Village in Myinmu Township of Sagaing raided villages in Myinmu and Sagaing Townships on 1 March 2023. They captured leader of Tar Taing Village People’s Defence Force Yebaw Michael (aka) Ko Kyaw Zaw and murdered by dismembering his head, hands and legs and opening his stomach.
They captured 15 civilian villagers including women as human shield as they left Tar Taing Village on 2 March. - Bodies of five men from the captured civilians were found brutally murdered by the junta forces near Nyaung Yin Village in Myinmu Township on 2 March. They kept 10 remaining civilian detainees as they continued their raid into Nyaung Nyin Village in Myinmu Towship. All of them were found brutally killed by the junta forces near Kyun Paw Bridge at the border of Sagaing and Myinmu on 2 March afternoon.
- The terrorist junta forces burnt 60 out of 78 houses in Tar Taing Village on 2 February 2023.
- Since these inhumane yet intentional terrorist acts violate international crimes including massacres, war crimes and crimes against humanity, the Ministry of Human Rights already communicated the case with international judiciary mechanisms. The ministry will further attempt to advance the case to prosecute perpetrators at all levels and deliver justice.
