“The CRPH would like to express its gratitude to all the Chin revolutionary leaders, the Chin patriotic students and youth, and the Chin ethnic people residing in different locations, who have actively participated not only in the armed revolutionary fights against the evil dictatorship for many years but also in the Spring Revolution Front for their strong revolutionary spirit, the strength of the democratic mass movement, and the strength of their selfless contribution.”
The CRPH also stated that it firmly believes that the strong unification of all democratic revolutionary forces, including the Chin ethnic people, will be able to overcome the difficulties and obstacles of the victory of this spring revolution, which will lead everyone towards a new federal democratic union.

“The Ministry of Home Affairs and Immigration, in cooperation with the USIP Burma Program, provided digital security training for the members of the township people’s administration bodies beginning on March 18.

The training was delivered by USIP Burma Program instructors with the aim of making participants aware of the importance of digital security, discussing and identifying their needs with regard to digital security, and empowering them to put the necessary security measures in place when using regular mobile applications and safely sharing and storing digital files, said the announcement.
3. The terrorist military group still continues to commit human rights violations against civilians in various ways
Human Rights Minister U Aung Myo Min said that the terrorist military group still continues to commit human rights violations against civilians in various ways.
“The terrorist military group, which is accustomed to committing violence, human rights violations, and atrocities, has continued to commit human rights violations and crimes against civilians in various ways throughout the period of suppression. That is why the United Nations, as well as the United Nations High Commissioner, the United Nations Special Investigation Officer, and the United Nations Secretary General, have repeatedly stated many times that the terrorist military council is committing international crimes,” said the Union Minister.
The terrorist military and its associates killed at least 3,000 people and arrested at least 10,000 others.
4. Salai Isaac Khen says that the revolution can no longer be carried out solely through an indomitable spirit but rather through a strategic approach and a strong and clear alliance
Salai Isaac Khen, executive member of the Interim Chin National Consultative Council (ICNCC), said on March 20 that the revolution can no longer be carried out solely through indomitable spirit but rather through a strategic approach and a strong and clear alliance.
“At this time, the revolution cannot be done solely through an indomitable spirit. We will have to do it through the right perception, a strategic approach, and a strong and clear alliance. A long march will inevitably be necessary. It may become more difficult, and rough. It will only be more tiring. At this juncture, we must try to move forwards in a way that people can believe in, with more endurance,” he said.
Furthermore, Salai Isaac Khen also stated that there is often more or less turbulence during the revolutionary journey and that the leaders’ maturity and experience are crucial in dealing with this issue.
