1. Union Prime Minister Mann Win Khaing Than says that he is convinced that the terrorist military council is going to collapse permanently soon
Union Prime Minister Mann Win Khaing Than said at the Cabinet Meeting (22/2023) held on July 4 that he was convinced that the terrorist military council is going to collapse permanently soon.
“In this revolution, the courage and zeal of our revolutionary forces must be recorded, and on the other hand, the acts of inhumanity by the brutal terrorist military council must also be recorded. Therefore, our National Unity Government is collaborating with all the revolutionary forces to exert pressure on the terrorist military council from various perspectives, such as diplomatic, political, military, economic, and administrative affairs, and I strongly believe that in the near future this terrorist military council will collapse forever,” Union Prime Minister Mann Win Khaing Than stated.
The Union Prime Minister also stated that trust between each other matters the most since there may be a lot of fake news and incitements to divide the revolutionary forces.
2. The National Unity Government honours 400 million MMK to the Chin revolutionary organisation for destroying two armoured vehicles of the terrorist military regime
At the Cabinet Meeting (22/2023) held on July 4, the National Unity Government granted 400 million MMK to the Chin revolutionary alliance of the Chin National Army of the Chin National Front (CNF/CNA) and the Chinland Defence Forces (CDF) for destroying two armoured vehicles of the terrorist military regime.
“Following the Review and Reward Committee’s confirmation of the Chin revolutionary forces’ claim that they had destroyed two armoured vehicles of the terrorist military regime with evidence, the National Unity Government granted 400 million MMK to the officials of the CNF/CAN and CDFs, or 200 million MMK for each armoured vehicle, in accordance with the announcement it had made,” it stated.
The Chin-allied defence forces attacked a military convoy of more than 30 vehicles led by two armoured vehicles that departed from Kalay Town, Sagaing Division, on March 7, when they arrived near Chuncung village, 10 miles away from Hakha, Chin State, on April 13 and destroyed two armoured vehicles.

“The ultimate goal of this revolution is to revolutionise the system; it will not end until the system is revolutionised. If we are asked which system we have to revolutionise, it is to eradicate the fascist military dictatorship that has been anchored in our country for more than 60 years and to establish a true federal democratic system in our country. Our goal is very clear.”
The National Unity Government is currently moving forward in accordance with the Federal Charter and is cooperating with Ethnic Resistance Organisations.
