1. The Union Prime Minister says that the long-standing problem of Myanmar is not solely because of the oppressions of dictators
Union Prime Minister Mahn Winn Khine Thann remarked the following in his speech given at the ceremony commemorating the second anniversary of the Federal Democracy Charter:
“The long-standing problem of Myanmar is not solely because of the loss of democracy and civil rights brought about by the oppression of dictators; it is also because of the country’s neglect of the equality of ethnic minorities, of their long history of suffering from religious and ethnic delusions, and of the country’s inability to find a solution for unity. All the people’s leaders already understand that, today, the Federal Democratic Agreement, which has been in effect for 2 years, is the way to simultaneously solve these resource problems and establish a federal democratic union that guarantees equality.”
Furthermore, the Union Prime Minister also urged the leaders of various ethnic groups and representatives of various revolutionary forces who attended the event to keep cooperating in order to prevent the re-emergence of groups and dictators as well as the terrorist military council that would terrorise the populace.

“When I arrived in Karenni, I saw prisoners of war from the military. They didn’t respond when spoken to, and when they fixed their gaze on one spot, they stopped hearing cries. They did not begin eating on their own; they only ate when told to do so. The people from the KNDF told me, “Ma’am, they didn’t even avoid firing from our side; they came up like zombies.” They were fed drugs and forced to go to the front lines. They are still in their youth. Military leaders sacrificed them. There is no such thing as being late; defect to the side of the people as soon as possible.”
