Union Prime Minister Mahn Winn Khaing Thann included the following in his speech at the live broadcast on Populist Leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s 78th birthday held on June 19:
“We have waged successive revolutions for ages and tried to end the one-party dictatorship and military dictatorship in Myanmar. However, in previous revolutions, they were not entirely eliminated, so in this revolution, as everyone knows, collaborative efforts are being undertaken to end them once and for all. In this revolution, we are able to gather strengths that have never been gathered before in the previous ones, and the people are still marching with full strength without diminishing their participation even after more than two years, so I fully believe that this historic revolution will soon achieve a decisive victory.”
The National Unity Government has announced that the year 2023 will be a decisive year to end the Spring Revolution and is escalating its military pace.

During these times, we have all worked together to fight against the brutal oppression of the terrorist regime, and now our enemy terrorist regime has been defeated from all sides, and we have all seen the rays of hope for the victory of the spring revolution.”
