1. Union Prime Minister said that the NUG government must “revolutionize while building and build while revolutionizing” to redress the damages suffered by the people due to the military council
Union Prime Minister Mahn Winn Khaing Thann said at the Interim Local Administration Central Committee Meeting (27/2023) that the NUG government must go “revolution while building, building while revolution” to redress the people’s damages caused by the military council.
“No matter how much the country suffers, our government must go “revolution while building, building while revolution” in order to redress the damages suffered by the people due to the military council, which does not care about the country,” said the Union Prime Minister.
From May 2021 to the end of May 2023, the terrorist military burned down 70,324 civilian houses in 14 states and regions, and 53,816 buildings were destroyed in Sagaing Region.
As the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management, in the 2 years since the formation of the National Unity Government, humanitarian assistance has been provided to the people suffering from the terrorist military council, about 6.6 billion kyats, and the ministry has been able to provide food to an average of more than 200,000 people fleeing the war every month.
So far, 2,239 temporary shelters have been built with funds donated from people to people for those who lost their homes due to the arson caused by the military council and its lackeys in various states and regions.
2. The National Unity Government welcomed the report by the High Commissioner for Human Rights
On July 7, the NUG Ministry of Human Rights issued a statement saying that the National Unity Government welcomed the report by the High Commissioner for Human Rights.
“The Republic of the Union of Myanmar, as represented by the National Unity Government, welcomes the interactive dialogue on Myanmar with the High Commissioner for Human Rights as well as OHCHR’s corresponding report on the situation of human rights in Myanmar,” it stated.
In the report submitted by the High Commissioner, the illegal military junta holds an “utter contempt for humanity” sexual violence, mass killings, extrajudicial executions, beheadings, dismemberments and mutilations.
The High Commissioner’s latest report shines much needed light on the junta’s denial of humanitarian access as a continuation of the military’s long-employed “four-cuts” strategy.
The report speaks of an erasure of nearly a decade of progress since the junta’s failed coup in February 2021, with a doubling in poverty levels, rocketing food insecurity and inflation, and direct attacks on healthcare personnel and infrastructure.
