1. The Acting President urges the expansion of the civil disobedience movement (CDM), as it is a powerful public movement for overthrowing the military dictatorship
At the 30th 2023 Cabinet Meeting of the National Unity Government held on September 5, Acting President Duwa Lashi La remarked about the civil disobedience movement (CDM):
“The CDM movement is an effective public movement to defeat the military dictatorship in the Spring Revolution, and we must think about how to expand it in a practical way. I also want to urge everyone to work together not to waste the nation’s human resources, including the public employees who are participating in the CDM.”
The Acting President continued by saying that the civil disobedience movement has the ability to revolutionise against the junta broadly across several fields and non-violent public activities.

An Al Jazeera’s article dated September 4 quoted NUG Union Minister for International Cooperation Dr. Sasa: “We wholeheartedly welcome Prime Minister Thavisin’s expressed intention to restore Thailand’s international standing, and we hope this signifies a commitment to taking a more robust stance on addressing the ongoing crisis in Myanmar,” highlighting Dr. Sasa’s notation of the Myanmar crisis having “far-reaching implications for regional peace and stability”.
Union Minister Dr. Sasa emphasised the paramount importance of implementing the ASEAN Five-Point Consensus, and the Burma Act included in the United States’ National Defence Authorization Act (NDAA) called on Thailand to work with like-minded countries to exert maximum pressure on the Myanmar military junta.

5. Union Minister U Aung Myo Min criticises the military council’s decision to cut diplomatic ties with Timor-Leste as a foolish act
“The terrorist military responded in a frenzy to Timor’s diplomatic contact with the NUG. The terrorist military, which has failed diplomatically and damaged its prestige, committed such a risky and foolish diplomatic misstep in an effort to soothe its sore wounds while also underestimating a small nation like Timor,” NUG Human Rights Minister U Aung Myo Min responded to a media interview in September.
Timor-Leste officially recognised and invited the National Unity Government to the swearing-in ceremony of the new government and Foreign Minister Daw Zin Mar Aung and NUG Representative the Czech Republic U Linn Thant attended the ceremony.
