The State Administration Council needs to politically lead the State. To do so, the council is formed with most responsible officers from Tatmadaw and leaders from ethnic regions capable of working and leading the relevant regions and states, SAC Chairman said.
The Senior General made this comment during the SAC Meeting 1/2024 at the SAC Chairman’s Office in Nay Pyi Taw on 1 February.
The Senior General said that those who dissatisfied with taking action against the election results staged protests and then unrests and violent attacks and blowing up. So, the ordinary situation saw deterioration. If all issues were solved by political means without terror attacks, the State of Emergency period would not be long like this.
With regard to EAOs, at a time when the government took office, some hardliners from KNU among NCA signatory ethnic armed organizations, CNF and ABSDF committed terror process. KIA from non- NCA signatories gave terrorism and mine explosive courses to those with different political doctrines and provided arms and ammunition. KNPP gave terror training to PDF terrorists with assistance of arms and ammunition in addition to com- mitting tactics of attacks. These are acts of harming the ordinary situations, he added.
MNDAA attacked Laukkai region with excessive strengths and drop bombs from drones on 27 October 2023, spending money obtained from illegal businesses, assistance from alliances and drug production. Their acts harmed the ordinary situations, he continued.
The Senior General said that the ultimatum visions of the government are to hold a free and fair dignified election. Object- ives mentioned that upon com- pletion of the process in line with the State of Emergency, a free and fair multiparty democratic general election will held and then State duties will be handed over to the elected government. Upon completion of the duties, the government will hand over the duties to the NDSC and to hold the election and convene the Hluttaw.
