As the leaders who will rule the country in future, they need to work for the benefit of the people, chairman of the Tailai (Shanni) Nationalities Development Party (TNDP) Sai Htay Aung told CNI News.


As citizens, they need to love their country more than individuals; a political leader's mistake can ruin the country, he said.


" Now if we review the current conflict that is taking place in the country, it's because citizens love individuals more than the country. If every citizen loves the country more than individuals, there is no reason for this problem to occur. So, both politicians and military leaders need to work for the sake of the people. A political leader's mistake can ruin the country. A military leader's mistake can make his comrades die. When the political leader and the military leader are wrong, the country has been worn out already. So, I'd like to tell the leaders to work for the sake of the people. And I want to urge the citizens to love the country more than individuals." said Sai Htay Aung.


Political change caused by the disagreement of the leaders of the country which started on 1st February 2021 caused a crisis to the people, pointed out political circles.

It was not easy to solve armed conflict by arms; political problems must be solved by political dialogue to create stability for the people, chairman of the Karen National Democratic Party Mahn Aung Pyi Soe told CNI News.


" It's not easy to solve armed conflict by arms. This method has been used for over 70 years. It will be able to be solved at the political roundtable, I think. Influential politicians, parties and scholars will gather and discuss at the roundtable. If they meet and solve problems with love for the country and with desire for peace, an answer will be produced, I hope." he said.


Political disagreements that started on 1st February 2021 cannot be solved up to now. Houses of the people were damaged or burned down. Moreover, they are facing injuries and deaths, higher commodity prices and scarcity of jobs.
