Politics and military experts are reviewing and discussing about how the revolutionary forces can put pressure on the State Administration Council during this year. 

Some EAOs and revolutionary joint forces were able to capture some military camps and towns from the end of 2023 and until now.

Revolutionary forces probably could capture medium and small towns and a slogan saying that all the columns would march to Naypyidaw had been issued, U Than Soe Naing, a Myanmar politics commentator, told CNI News.

" At this level, revolutionary forces have captured medium and small towns. Within this year, they will launch operations to capture medium and large towns, I think. If medium towns could be captured easily and the disintegration of the military council army is faster than this, they can capture cities. They have issued a slogan saying all the columns will march to Naypyidaw. They will do as they have said." he said.

Although 2023 was proclaimed as the decisive year of the Spring Revolution, It turned out that neither side was able to outright win. However, after the Three Brotherhood Alliance had launched the Operation-1027 on 27th October 2023, revolutionary forces were able to seize control of 39 towns, revolutionary forces have stated.

The general public was facing high commodity prices due to monetary inflation. Moreover, due to roadblocks and financial charges by the revolutionary forces, the people were facing various kinds of crises, U Li Paw Reh, chairman of the Lisu National Development Party (Dulei Party), told CNI News.

"They (revolutionary forces) can't be so much successful because, to tell you frankly, financial support is important. Even now, the people have complained a lot. The people who support them have complained as well. Frankly speaking, commodity prices have risen due to monetary inflation and the people have to pay the tax kind of. So, the people have complained. If this keeps up, the people will complain more. The kind of work without the public participation won't be successful, I think." he said.

Having said that the NLD was trying to form a government without solving the vote list dispute in the 2020 general election, the Tatmadaw overthrew the NLD government on 1st February 2021 and has taken power after announcing the state of emergency.

After that, the battles have been breaking out between the Tatmadaw and revolutionary joint forces including some EAOs across the country and there have been crises in all sectors including politics, economy, health and education in Myanmar.
