Interviews

“The higher the number of the IDPs, the busier the revolutionary forces. In my view, the military council carries out targeted attacks on the public as the military is unable to fight against resistance fighters” Khu Ruby, Spokesperson of the KCSN

“The military’s invitations to the meetings and talks aim to save face in the international arena in terms of politics. It is just to show that the military is working on the negotiation path. In fact, the military is in no mood to build up a federal democratic union aspired by our ethnics.” U Aung San Myint – General Secretary of the KNPP

“The military council’s administrative bodies are active only in downtown Chin State. The military is unable to control the rural areas. It is found that even the operations of the administrative bodies and departments face suspension.” Salai Htet Ni, Spokesperson of CNF.

“I would like to urge the public to help the fleeing IDPs from Putao as much as they can,” A local from Swanpiyan

“My first frontline experience was terrible. It is very exciting and terrible. It is just like the movie. It is very difficult. Some people will not believe it if I recount it.” Female Comrade War War Aung (KNDF)

“The IDPs may face difficulty in the long-run as we don’t know how long the civil war will last. The recognition and assistance by the central government of India is crucial.” Ko Richard (NGO United for Democratic Myanmar)

“The military has stopped offensive operations in Arakan State. As a matter of fact, the military’s focus is on the NUG and the NLD. The military will shift its focus to the Arakan State after it. We need to be cautious about political, military, national unity and social affairs and make a lot of preparations.” Colonel Min Tun, the Commander-in-Chief of the ANC/AA.
