The National Unity Government (NUG) expects to overthrow the military regime by the end of 2023, pointing out that the armed resistance already has half of the country under control.
On the occasion of the one-year anniversary of the People’s Revolution, NUG spokesperson Nay Phone Latt said they’re shifting from defensive to offensive tactics and are already drafting a strategy that will guarantee their success in restoring democracy in Burma.
Currently, the People’s Defence Forces (PDF) have seized control of the main roads and many villages in the Magwe and Sagaing regions, dealing a crushing blow to the regime. NUG has formed an alliance with eight prominent ethnic armed groups across the country fighting against the government.
“Last year, we laid the necessary groundwork…2023 is a decisive year for our revolution,” he said, explaining how they’ll attack the regime through political and economic channels in the country and abroad. Due to the strength of the people during the “Spring Revolution”, the dictatorship has been weakened and NUG will fight to the end.
“The people play a crucial role in our strategy to win…We must be united and work hard together against the military regime. We must overcome the darkness before the dawn comes.”
Thanks to the relentless attacks by ethnic armed groups and the PDF on the regime’s forces, its strength has been sapped, said Kyaw Zaw, spokesman for the NUG’s presidential office.
At the same time, cooperation between the resistance groups, which has grown over time, has increased their overall strength. The population has continued to support the NUG financially to buy weapons and ammunition for the war, among other things.
“We’ll win this revolution,” he said.
