1. Acting President Duwa Lashi La says that the Spring Revolution is the people’s revolution that struggles to build a new federal democratic country
At the 20th Cabinet Meeting of the National Unity Government held on May 30, Acting President Duwa Lashi La remarked that the Spring Revolution is the people’s revolution that struggles to build a new federal country.
“Looking at the entire scenario of the Spring Revolution, everyone already knows that it is a people’s revolution that is fighting for freedom, justice, equality, and self-determination. The Spring Revolution is a people’s revolution that struggles to build a new federal democratic country. Federalism covers equality and self-determination. Democracy covers basic standards like freedom and justice. I believe that we have to build a harmonious combination of the basic principles of democracy and those of federalism,” Acting President Duwa Lashi La stated.
The Acting President went on to say that when considering the issue of federalism, the issue of power sharing, resource sharing, and tax sharing between the Union government and State governments will have to be taken into consideration, and that the provision based on equality and self-determination should be considered a priority.
Meanwhile, Union Prime Minister Mahn Winn Khing Thann remarked: “The National Unity Government must put in more effort during this time because the revolution has advanced to a certain point, and hence we have to both work hard for the revolution and make political preparations at the same time.”

3. The NUG Ministry of Defence sends a felicitation letter to mark the second anniversary of the establishment of the Karenni Nationalities Defense Force (KNDF)
On May 31, the Ministry of Defence of the National Unity Government sent a felicitation letter to the second anniversary celebration of the Karenni Nationalities Defense Force (KNDF).
In the felicitation letter, the Ministry of Defence wished all the Karenni people success in overcoming the difficulties they are facing today.
The letter stated that the revolutionary forces in Karenni State are so strong that they are fighting and causing the terrorist military, which is vastly superior to them in terms of air strikes and heavy weaponry, to suffer big losses, despite the fact that the coup terrorist military is assaulting Karenni State with heavy use of air raids, heavy weapons, artillery, armour, and cluster missiles.
The Ministry of Defence encouraged the Karenni Nationalities Defense Force (KNDF) to continue to cooperate in waging the People’s Defensive War in this Spring Revolution together for the overthrow of the military dictatorship and the building of a federal democratic union that fully guarantees the right to self-determination, equality, and justice.
