Chairman of State Administration Council Snr Gen Min Aung Hland said it is necessary to end the ongoing violence and armed conflicts.

Without stability of the state, there will be a long way for building a union based on democracy and federal system and national development, the SAC chairman said in his message to Kachin State Day, which falls on 10th January.

Snr Gen Min Aung Hlaing said, "To achieve success in peace processes, stakeholders and relevant organizations need to uphold the correct attitudes and the common desire for the sake of the State. The government on its part manages control of all measures without harming the peace processes. Everybody knows if the country cannot restore peace and stability, it will be far from the future tasks to build the Union based on the democratic system and federalism and development undertakings of the State. As such, I would like to notify all of you about reducing and stopping current terror acts and armed struggling lines."

Currently, armed conflicts have erupted in Myanmar, causing deaths, displacement and arson attacks on houses.

He said, "The main cause of the Myanmar crisis is the prolong military dictatorship and the immediate cause is the coup by the military. It also neglects the will of the people in the 2020 elections. And then, it has treated the people as enemies and attacked them brutally. So, we will have to eliminate the military dictatorship from the country. To resolve the immediate cause, the junta must stop fighting, treating the people like enemies and torturing and killing them."

The military ousted the government of the National League for Democracy after accusing it of forming a new government without settling the voters' list disputes igniting protests and armed resistance.
The conflicts have displaced more than 2 million people in the entire country, according to the ISP Myanmar.
