3. The CRPH commits to continuing its efforts to put an end to the military dictators’ barbaric violence as soon as possible
The Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH) issued the 1385 Myanmar’s New Year Message on April 17, committing its efforts to put an end to the military dictators’ barbaric violence as soon as possible.
Despite a group of terrorist military dictators and their subordinate groups destroying the lives of ethnic people in various ways, the entire public is still revolutionising with strong unity and strength, stated the CRPH. Individuals, who did not accept the rule of inhuman dictators and called for the truth through peaceful demonstrations, faced violent oppression and killing by the terrorist military group with weapons, and it has been more than two years since the people took up arms and fought against them, launching the armed revolution across the country.
“We, the people’s representatives, who were elected by the common will of the people, are taking part in the revolution in various efforts from the parliamentary sector both domestically and internationally, and we pledge to continue to work together with the National Unity Government and the revolutionary forces to end the inhumane violence of the military dictators as soon as possible and to create a peaceful future for the people of Myanmar,” stated the CRPH.

According to the statement, from about 7:50 p.m. to 8:10 p.m. on April 13, the Magway District 1st Battalion, and the Gangaw District 2nd, 4th, and 10th Battalions of the People’s Defence Force (PDF), and the Saw Township people’s defence group joined forces to attack the No. 23 Defence Industry with rockets.

Dr. Sasa, the Union Minister for International Cooperation of the National Unity Government, stated the following in his video message sent to Myanmar Revolutionary Thingyan held in the state of Minnesota, USA:
“The terrorist military dictators are like plants with damaged roots, while the people of Myanmar are like plants with new roots growing every day. The sunset of the terrorist dictators is not far away, while the victory of the people of Myanmar is also close at hand. There is no any similarity between the people of Myanmar and the genocidal military generals, just as there is no any similarity between the light and the darkness, and there is no any similarity between tyranny and freedom. There is no common ground between the good and the bad.”
At present, the National Unity Government has developed and is implementing a one-year strategic plan and is increasing military momentum.

U Kyaw Ni, Deputy Minister of Labor of the National Unity Government, stated the following on April 16 about the airstrike on Pazigyi village committed by the military council:
“I feel very sorry for the children of the whole country. We don’t have to take revenge for these children; we have to restore justice for them. I often think about those children who will be left as orphans in the post-revolutionary period. It makes my plan to establish an orphanage and nursing home long before the revolution more clear and stronger. I was inspired as if I had been tapped with a whip after witnessing the people’s reliance on and belief in the NUG.”
On April 11, a total of 168 people, the majority of whom were children and women, were killed in the air bombardment by the terrorist military on Pazigyi village in Kanbalu Township.
