1. The Acting President says that the National Unity Government’s goal is to make Myanmar a peaceful country with no gunshots heard
In an interview on April 17, Acting President Duwa Lashi La of the National Unity Government stated: “Our goal is to establish this country as a peaceful country with no gunshots heard, a country with a strong economy, and a country full of hope for the youth in the future, so we must take care to achieve these things.”

In response to a reporter’s question over TIME Magazine’s inclusion of terrorist leader Min Aung Hlaing in their Top 100 Most Influential People of 2023, Dr. Sasa provided the following remarks in an interview on April 17:
“The world-renowned TIME Magazine is announcing in a subtle way, in order to let the world know, that terrorist leader Min Aung Hlaing is a world villain worse than the Taliban. The only person in the world worse than the Taliban is Osama bin Laden, a friend of the Taliban. Min Aung Hlaing and Osama bin Laden are the same. TIME Magazine is indirectly announcing to the world that the terrorist organisation ‘State Administration Council (SAC)’ led by terrorist leader Min Aung Hlaing, is the same as the world’s terrorist organisation Al-Qaeda, led by Osama Bin Laden, and their partner, ISIS.”
To date, the terrorist military group has killed more than 3,400 people and arrested and detained more than 20,000 others since its attempted coup on February 1, 2021.

On April 18, the Leader and Commander of Ye Bhilu Group told RadioNUG regarding the attack on Ye Police Station:
“There may be damage on the military council side, but we cannot say how much the damage is. We opened fire with 40-mm grenades, and one of them fell straight into the middle of the Police Station and exploded. So there must be harm on their side. Even if there are no casualties, there may be injuries. The time was around 8 o’clock yesterday.”
