1. The Acting President urged people to be especially careful so that the people’s revolution does not get buried in the gang conflict
Acting President Duwa Lashi La said that people should be especially careful so that the people’s revolution does not get buried in gang conflict.
At the 18th cabinet meeting of the National Unity Government on May 9, Acting President Duwa Lashi La said the following:
“The spring revolution is a real public revolution. Therefore, we need to be especially careful not to get buried in the gang conflict. It is customary to have group prejudices in politics. We need to deal with this calmly. No matter how strong the storm is, we will all row the boat together, and after the storm, we will reach a time of peace and joy together.”
In addition, during the revolution, big problems arose as well as small problems, and it is especially important not to get lost in ordinary small problems, the Acting President added.
2. The Union Prime Minister said that the current state of the terrorist military has deteriorated from all sides
Union Prime Minister Mahn Winn Khaing Thann said that the current state of the terrorist military has deteriorated from all sides.
The Union Prime Minister said in the cabinet meeting of the National Unity Government No. 18/2023.
“Now is a time when we have to weigh a lot of things politically. The current situation of the terrorist military is deteriorating on all sides, so on the one hand, it is suppressing as much as possible in the areas it can oppress, and it is trying to stop the participation of the people in the revolution by installing fear. On the other hand, it is plotting at all costs to make our revolutionary forces divide and lose trust in each other. Because we have all heard that the military council is trying all kinds of ways to spread news to make the international community think that the revolutionary forces are terrorists, and that the revolutionary forces are not in harmony with each other, everything needs to be carefully planned, and quick responses will be needed,” said the Union Prime Minister.
In addition, the Union Prime Minister urged the public to make more efforts to expose the true situation and events in Myanmar to the international community.
