That Acting President of the National Unity Government, Duwa Lashi La has recalled its member to come back to Myanmar was likely because of change of Trump's policy, U Than Soe Naing, a political commentator, told CNI News. 

Asking the members of the NUG to come back to Myanmar might mean asking them to come back to places near to the border areas and because changes of policies including visa could take place, it was likely that the NUG thought so, he said.

" Saying to come back to Myanmar doesn't mean saying to come back under the rule of the millitary council but near the border areas of Myanmar because there might be policy changes regarding visa and migration under the US government led by Donald Trump. Under the Biden government, the office of the NUG was allowed to be opened officially. But under the Trump government, it might be hurt. If the Trump government doesn't permit the NUG office to be officially opened, it might affect the dignity of the NUG. If the US did so, it might be hard for European counytries that support the NUG to recognize the NUG." said U Than Soe Naing to CNI News.

However, it would not easy for the members of the NUG if they came back to the border areas, he added.

The NUG should not exist as an expatriate government and strength must be built on the ground, said Acting President Duwa Lashi La at the meeting of the NUG that was held online on 26th November.

Because the NUG took the time properly for the international community, he urged the members of the NUG to gather within the country (Myanmar). 

Because Trump has not been appointed as President, asking the members of the NUG could not relate with the US policy; it would be better for the NUG if it could implement its ideology, U Kyi Myint, a political commentator, told CNI News.

" There is an eight point agreement released by the NUG, the KNU, Kayah, Chin and Karen armed groups. As the two main points, one is that they don't accept the 2008 constitution and the other, the army must go back to their barrack. The military council won't accept these points at all. So, I don't think there are any reasons to make political dialogues arise. China has cooperated with the military council for its interests. Revolutionary groups have to lay down strategies, depending on the situation of their cooperation." he said.

China had big influence on both revolutionary groups and the SAC, which could not be ignored; it would be necessary to think so as not to make side effects arise from that situation, said Acting President of the NUG, Duwa Lashi La.

Moreover, it would be necessary to think outside the box and carried out in practice rather than doing conventionally, he added.
