" If there are refugees in the territories that can be controlled by the government, UN will collaborate with the government. In the same way, if there are refugees in the territories that can be controlled by the NUG, UN will collaborate with the NUG. UN came here just to help cyclone victims and all the rest refugees, without having anything to do with political affairs. (the) NUG and (the) SAC may talk politically about whether they are recognized or not. But UN came here just to help, that I conclude like that." he said.
Due to the vote fraud during the 2020 general election, it has taken power in accordance with the 2008 constitution and is carrying out to enable the country to continue going on the road to multi-party democracy, said in a statement released by the SAC Refugee problems have not been able to be solved since the Tatmadaw took power, so it was possible that UN came and met with the SAC, said U Than Soe Naing, a Myanmar political analyst.

" According to the official statistics, there are over three million refugees. UN is demanding to solve the problem of these people. Because the military council did not allow the UN aid plans, UN aid operations are being disrupted. It shows that how much merciless the military leader towards the people. That is why Rakhine, which has been affected by the Mocha storm to this day, has not yet recovered. So, there are reportedly requirements to provide assistance to the people affected by the cyclone Mocha that hit on May 14 in Rakhine.”he Said.
According to the latest figures that was released by the UN, there are over 1.9 million IDPs as of 31st July 2023 throughout the country.
1.6 million people had to displace due to armed conflicts and insecurity that arose after the Tatmadaw took power on 1st February 2021, said in a statement released by the UN.
