On November 8, U Kyaw Zaw, spokesperson for the Office of the President of the National Unity Government (NUG), participated in a discussion organized and facilitated by the Stimson Center, a research organization based in Washington, D.C., United States.
The discussion was held under the topic "Operation 1027: Implications for the Military Junta in Myanmar." Participants discussed the unique aspects and developments of Operation 1027, which is currently being conducted by allied forces, including the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA), the Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA), and the Arakan Army (AA), among other allied groups.
The discussion featured U Kyaw Zaw, spokesperson for the Office of the President, alongside Priscilla Clapp, Senior Advisor at the United States Institute of Peace (USIP), and political analyst Ko Kyaw San Hlaing.
Key points from the discussion by the spokesperson for the Office of the President are summarized below.
- Operation 1027 is not a conventional military operation. The statement issued by the Three Brotherhood Alliance clearly outlines that it carries a political objective aimed at eradicating the military dictatorship system.
- Operations like Operation 1027 and other major campaigns are being carried out to liberate oppressed ethnic groups and to uproot and eliminate the military dictatorship.
- Operation 1027 not only demonstrates the strength of unity among ethnic groups but also exposes the vulnerabilities of the terrorist military council.
- Myanmar needs support to secure humanitarian aid, establish robust inclusive institutions, and prepare for the transitional period beyond military dictatorship.
- As the terrorist military council continues to escalate violence, create instability, and carry out ongoing arrests and killings, the National Unity Government (NUG) and resistance forces are intensifying their efforts to bring an end to these dire conditions.
- The National Unity Government (NUG) is committed to establishing a peaceful new Myanmar that guarantees justice, equality, self-determination, and stability. To achieve this, the NUG is steadfast in strengthening relationships with ethnic minority alliances, neighboring Myanmar groups, and fostering more advanced and improved diplomatic ties.
