Politicians still could not solve the national problem at present, Dr.Nyo Nyo Thin, chairperson of the Yangon Watch Group, told CNI News. 

The current situation was one in which politicians could not mediate the organizations involved in the conflict and attempts to mediate were being criticized, she said.  

"Political leaders who are standing in the middle can't persuade any side. As soon as they tell one side, they are accused of being supporting another side. They are attacked. Their lives are threatened. They are worried about the security of their families. For the time being, politicians haven't been able to solve the problem for the future of the country. Most of the people who are Buddhists, in accordance with the teachings of the Buddha, need to believe something only after investigating for themselves without believing what others say. The public should not believe what organizations say without verification." she said to CNI News.

Saying that the NLD party was trying to form a government without solving the vote list dispute that took place in the 2020 general election, the Tatmadaw toppled down the NLD government on 1st February 2021 and it has taken the State power after declaring the state of emergency.

After that, democratic elements waged an armed resistance and armed conflicts are taking place across the country. Due to the conflicts, the country is facing crises in politics, economy, health, education and so on.

 All the stakeholders involved in the conflict should meet and discuss and the people are getting into trouble a lot, U Li Paw Reh, chairman of the Lisu National Development Party (Dulei Party) told CNI News.

"The public is also facing many problems. If a battle broke out, the people from the place where the battle broke out would be killed. We want both sides including EAOs, PDFs and the Tatmadaw to end or reduce all the battles. Attacking the military camps is not much of a problem. But attacking towns and villages is making the public suffer. In any case, we want the battles to be reduced. We want both sides to meet and discuss to reduce the battles." he said.

Although the international community including some EAOs, some political parties and the ASEAN is trying to solve the problems, it has not been able to be resolved.
