On December 3, the National Unity Government announced the initiation of administrative processes, the restoration of the rule of law and security, as well as the resumption of public and judiciary services in Kawlin, which has been liberated from the control of the military junta.
Kawlin serves as the city hosting district-level governmental administrations, and the National Unity Government has established the District Coordinating Committee for Emergency Administration within Kawlin. The committee, overseen by the Union Prime Minister, is now prioritizing restoring the offices of various ministries. Additionally, efforts are underway to enhance coordination with the people’s administration teams (Pa-Ah-Fa/PAT), reinforcing the management and administration chains at each level.
The security and law enforcement sector in Kawlin is currently managed through a collaborative effort involving the People’s Defense Force (PDF), local People’s Defence Teams (Pa-Ka-Fa/PDT), and People’s Security Teams (Pa-La-Fa/PST). Together, they are jointly responsible for safeguarding the lives and property of the residents in Kawlin by implementing a system referred to as the “three tiers of safety nets,” as mentioned in the statement.
In the public health care service sector, a township health team has been established, comprising 65 healthcare volunteers, including doctors and basic healthcare workers, to deliver emergency healthcare services in secure locations.
Currently, there are about 12,610 displaced people in Kawlin, and the NUG’s Ministry of Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Management has been providing them with essential food supplies.
In the education sector, preparations are being made to conduct the BECA examinations for the completion of basic education, and NUG’s Ministry of Education is planning to open online and on-ground schools, aiming to minimize disruptions for students.

For non-CDM civil servants, they will be managed in accordance with the “Interim Non-CDM Staff Management Guidelines” issued by the Central Committee of Interim Implementation of Local Administration, based on the CDM Civil Servants Policy.

4. More than 600 civil society organizations reject ASEAN-imposed ‘Inclusive Dialogue’ plan
On December 1, a joint statement from 601 Myanmar civil society organizations, both within the country and abroad, called on ASEAN to halt its “inclusive dialogue” plan, asserting that it undermines the efforts and will of the Myanmar people to eliminate the military dictatorship. The statement further demands that ASEAN take immediate actions to “fulfill the demands of the people of Myanmar, including the establishment of a federal democratic union and holding the illegal military junta and its leader Min Aung Hlaing accountable for committing mass atrocity crimes.”
“ASEAN has failed to hold the military junta accountable for committing crimes against humanity and war crimes, amounting to mass atrocities,” the statement called out.
The statement underscored that following the coup, the military junta has arrested over 25,000 people, killed more than 4,200 people, and burned down at least 76,000 properties. The statement criticized ASEAN for consistently advocating for negotiations while disregarding these dire situations and the immense suffering of the people of Myanmar.

They locked 11 hostages inside a house, subsequently incinerating them.
