Interviews

“I desperately want our country to recover soon. For older people like me, we don’t know when we’ll die. I don’t want to die as a refugee in someone else’s country. That’s why I hope Myanmar gets better quickly.” Pi Thiampar, a 62-year-old ethnic Chin woman who has been seeking refuge there for over three years, at Tuirial refugee camp in Mizoram

“If there are fewer outlets and platforms producing accurate news, fake news could dominate, leading people to become more misled. Therefore, it’s crucial for us—independent media outlets and journalists—to combat these dangers by delivering the most reliable and truthful information possible.” U Toe Zaw Latt, Secretary of the Independent Media Council (IPCM)

“But for me, the moment I decided to join this resistance, I came in to take up a gun. In this revolution, among those of us who’ve joined, there’s no discrimination based on gender. I see it as men and women being equal. So I can’t tolerate being looked down on. I came here to fight the military dictatorship.” – GiGi (Sniper/PDF-Zoland)

“As part of our strategic military objectives, Ramanya Column will carry out operations. However, at this stage, we cannot disclose when, where, or how these operations will be conducted, nor the specific military tactics we will employ.” – Dr. Thiri Mon Chan, Spokesperson for the Ramanya Column

“If we are determined to win this resistance war in our generation, the junta will eventually fall. Therefore, unity is crucial. We must not blame each other or become complacent. It is essential that we fight with the understanding that our common enemy must be eradicated.” Comrade Ni Ni Kyaw, PLA General Secretary

“The key focus is preparedness. We’ve advised them to build strong bomb shelters and maintain them regularly. The most importance thing is that we’ve set rules such as avoiding turning on lights, not riding motorcycles at night, and refraining from using the internet. These measures are all part of our preparedness efforts. This is all we can do.” Khun Robert, Secretary-1 of IDP Camp Management Committee

“When we penetrate central Myanmar, our primary military targets include Magway Region —particularly the Ka-Pa-Sa (defense industry factories). These are critical lifelines for the military, and we need to neutralize them.” – Ko Min Han Htet, Student Armed Force (SAF)
