Acting President Duwa Lashi La of the National Unity Government (NUG) stated that the building of Chin State will only be successful if the Chin people are united. He made these remarks during the 78th Chin National Day ceremony held via Zoom platform at 10:00 am on 20 February.
He added that as Chin State is moving toward becoming a fully controlled territory, it is necessary to continue establishing guaranteed liberated areas and to carry out the Chin national liberation to its completion.
“It is necessary to simultaneously implement the liberation of Chin State with full guarantees through both military and political means. For this, national unity is crucial. Only when there is coordination and consultation among the Chin people themselves will the building of Chin State succeed,” President Duwa Lashi La said during the ceremony.
To achieve these objectives, the President stated that it is necessary to understand the characteristics of Chin State, which include geographical limitations and differences in tribes and group traditions.
“Although we share the same desire to end the dictatorship, success has been delayed due to fragmented forces. We must aim for collective success rather than individual organizational success. We must take to heart that without unity, success is impossible, but with unity, dictators cannot survive,” said Pu Zin Kyung, Chairman of the Chinland Council.
Pu Zin Kyung stated that during the five years of the Spring Revolution, organizations have shared common goals: the total eradication of the dictatorship, the final abolition of the 2008 Constitution, the establishment of a federal democratic system in the future nation, and the return of power to the people.
The Chin National Day event, organized by the Chinland Council (CC), was attended by NUG Acting President Duwa Lashi La, CRPH Chairman U Aung Kyi Nyunt, KNU Chairman Padoh Kwe Htoo Win, KNPP Chairman Khu Oo Reh, Chinland Council Chairman Pu Zin Kyung, and Chin State Government Prime Minister Salai Myo Htike, all of whom delivered speeches.
The date of 20 February is designated as Chin National Day based on a conference held in Falam from 19 to 22 February 1948, attended by over 5,000 people, where it was unanimously decided to abolish the traditional chieftainship system and replace it with a democratic system.
Out of the nine townships in Chin State, the Military Commission only controls Hakha and Tedim, while revolutionary forces have captured the remaining seven townships and are implementing public administration.
However, there are differing stances between two major forces in Chin State: the Chinland Council (CC), which includes the Chin National Army (CNA) and local defense forces, and the Chin Brotherhood (CB), which has captured some towns and is allied with the Arakan Army (AA).
