1. Acting President Duwa Lashi La calls on unity under one chain of command to achieve revolutionary victory
Acting President Duwa Lashi La made this appeal in his State of the Union Address on the second anniversary of the declaration of the People’s Defensive War by the National Unity Government on September 7:
“I would like to make a special appeal to the local defence forces (LDFs) to join our PDF and allies in building a mass force and conducting an offensive against the military junta forces. In defeating the military junta, it is vitally important that we be organised and unified, as well as have a well-organised chain of command in the military. Therefore, I would like to appeal to everyone to unite under a single chain of command and achieve the goal of revolutionary victory.”
Furthermore, the Acting President warned the revolutionaries to consistently adhere to the military code of conduct while engaged in combat and to avoid thinking and behaving like military dictators, given that they themselves are actually opposing the military dictatorship.
The National Unity Government has now established more than 300 battalions and columns under the People’s Defence Force (PDF) in addition to People’s Defence Organisations (PDO/Pa-Ka-Fa), which function as People’s Militia, in over 250 townships in the three military regions.
2. Over the last two years, the NUG’s Ministry of Defence has installed small weapons, big weapons, drones, and anti-aircraft guns on a regional scale in accordance with military strategy
The NUG’s Ministry of Defence announced in its Second Year Anniversary Report on People’s Defensive War on September 7, 2023, that, over the last two years, it has installed small weapons, big weapons, drones, and anti-aircraft guns on a regional scale in accordance with military strategy.
According to the statement, although only 28 enemy bases could be attacked and captured during the first year, 107 enemy bases could be taken in the second year, resulting in a threefold success.
With the aim of protecting the lives and properties of the people, Acting President Duwa Lashi La of the National Unity Government declared the launch of the People’s Defensive War on September 7, 2021, calling on the entire population to revolt against the rule of the terrorist military led by Min Aung Hlaing in every corner of the country. Today, September 7, 2023, marks the second anniversary of the declaration of the People’s Defensive War against the military junta.
3. The Human Rights Minister asserts that collective strength is more crucial during the revolution than individual strength
U Aung Myo Min, Union Minister for Human Rights of the National Unity Government, stressed the importance of unity and collective strength through Facebook, saying:
“During the revolution, we cannot be content with our own comfort. We can’t just do our part alone. We must also have a desire to improve the lives of those who are not comforted. Instead of merely completing our tasks, we must do our best. Collective strength is more crucial than individual strength.”
Right now, the National Unity Government is collaborating with the Ethnic Resistance Organisations, both militarily and politically.
