4. The Secretary of the Ministry of Defence said that one wave after another will come
On October 27, when the three Northern Brotherhood Alliances attacked and occupied military council camps in northern Shan State, Secretary of the Ministry of Defence of the National Unity Government, U Naing Htoo Aung, posted a video on his social media page showing the coming of one wave after another of PDF soldiers.
The video file was posted along with former US Secretary of State Colin Powell’s statement, “There is no secret to success. This is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.” This is a message that means that the spring revolution’s counter-offensives will come wave after wave.
Just hours after the official announcement by the 3 Northern Brotherhood Alliances, Kokang MNDAA, Arakan Army AA, and Ta’ang Tatmadaw TNLA, that the 1027 operation to eradicate the military dictatorship, which the whole of Myanmar longs for, has begun, a video file of PDF comrades coming one wave after another has spread on social media pages.
The Operation 1027 social media page stated that the operations were conducted on October 27 and that MNTJP/MNDAA Brigade 211, 511, and 611 units engaged in a battle with the terrorist military council forces in Chinhwehaw, Kuan Long, Mone Koe, Lashio, and Nan Jung areas.
In northern Shan State, while the Northern Alliance attacked and captured military council camps and claimed victory, the joint forces led by the Karen National Union (KNU) were able to attack and capture the military council troops and some departmental offices in Kawkareik on the morning of October 27.
According to the latest news, the terrorist military council is almost certain to surrender the northeastern region of Myanmar, and it is no longer certain that they will be able to hold the city of Kawkareik in Karen State. Thaton in Mon State has also been issued a Section-144 curfew on October 27.
Therefore, in honor of the challenges that will come one wave after another and Operation 1027 that started on October 27, SDB urged people to open an account at Spring Development Bank (SDB) and account holders to exchange the amount of “1027” Angel Number in all 10 currencies from the Currency Exchange and collect them as a memorial.
