Kachin and Rakhine States including northern Shan State must be effectively stabilized in accordance with the law, said Sr-Gen Min Aung Hlaing, chairman of the State Administration Council and the Commander in Chief of the Defense Services.
He said the above at the 79th anniversary celebration of the Tatmadaw on 27th March, 2024.
The acts of some EAOs and certain foreign-backed organizations were carrying out for the interests of their organizations only but not for the interests of Myanmar and Myanmar citizens, in fact they were trying to destroy to build a union based on democracy and federalism and the events taking place in northern Shan State, Kachin, Rakhine States and some regions were testifying that it was right, said Sr-Gen Min Aung Hlaing.

" They had rights to carry out democratically. But they did it by force. So, the interests of local people were destroyed and school-age children lost their right to education. Their acts are very stupid. That's why security forces including the Tatmadaw, Myanmar Police Force and militias must effectively stabilize the regions whose stabilities were lost in accordance with the law in collaboration with the public." he said.
Saying that the regions where there were armed resistance and waging battles to capture territories would be stabilize in accordance with the law was questionable, pointed out some military analysts.
"I wonder how he will take action against the elements waging armed attacks. Because they aren't afraid of the law, they are trying to overthrow even the Tatmadaw. How will these elements be taken action against in accordance with the law? In fact, the Tatmadaw must carry out, considering how it will regain control of the military camps and towns that it lost control of. Otherwise, it's not easy to do as he said." he said.
While the AA force
The Tatmadaw overthrew the NLD government on 1st February, 2021 and took the State power after saying that the NLD was trying to form a government without solving the vote list dispute that took place in the 2020 general election.
After that, Sr-Gen Min Aung Hlaing led and formed the State Administration Council after which the council is managing administration, legislation and judiciary. So, democratic elements, NLD members of Hluttaw and some EAOs are fighting against the Tatmadaw to overthrow it.
The Ta'ang National Liberation Army (TNLA), the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) and the Arakan Army (AA) launched Operation-1027 in northern Shan State on 27th October 2023 and waged battles to capture towns and cities.
In the same way, the AA has been waging offensives to capture towns and military camps of the Tatmadaw in Rakhine State since November, 2023. Moreover, the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) is attacking in Kachin State and Sagaing Region to capture towns and military camps of the Tatmadaw.
Because of these battles, the Tatmadaw has lost control of over 60 townships and over 200 military camps.
