“I want to say to all members of the government that at this time, the terrorist military is on the verge of complete collapse and has reached an uncontrollable situation due to the efforts of all of us. When this happens, we will see that the enemy is conducting more psychological warfare to weaken our revolutionary forces.

On the other hand, our government needs to pay special attention to obtaining sufficient arms and ammunition. The more the capacity of the people’s defense forces increases, the more protection will be given to civilians and reduce their suffering.”

In fact, it is clear that they cannot hold an election in the current situation, but they are stubborn and hoping to get the support of some countries,” said the Union Prime Minister.

In addition, the military council will use various methods and the steps need to be constantly monitored, and the NUG government should show clear processes and what should be shown to the people and try to continue marching until the revolution succeeds, the union prime minister said.
