How much the SAC demand to solve the problem through political means and as long as the SAC asks armed groups to abandon weapons, political discussions would not be successful, pointed out military and political analysts.
The SAC would not indulge and solve the armed terrorist claims and would meet and discuss with armed groups only when they abandon their armed policy, which Sr-Gen Min Aung Hlaing has said.
The chairman of the SAC asked EAOs to abandon weapons and build political parties to run the election; as long as the chairman asked EAOs to abandon weapons, political discussions would not be successful, U Than Soe Naing, a political commentator, told CNI News.

" What the SAC chairman wanted to say is that he would discuss politics, but the Tatmadaw won't accept armed pressure. What he means is that EAOs or revolutionary forces should run the election after abandoning weapons. So, political discussions won't be successful." he said.
The SAC chairman has urged armed groups to solve armed conflicts and disagreements in accordance with the law. However, because the Myanmar Tatmadaw did not solve the political problem through political means, urging EAOs to solve politically was not practical, Dr. Hla Kyaw Zaw, a Myanmar-China affairs commentator, told CNI News.

" It's very sure that the SAC has not decided to meet and discuss. Next, they have no plan to withdraw. They will go on. So, they are trying to win legitimacy. For the time being, the SAC seems to deem that its exit is to hold the election. We have to ask the SAC if it solved the political problem through the political means. If the election was held, if they found something they didn't like, they would stage a coup d'état again." she said.
Three northern allies (TNLA,AA,MNDAA) and China met and discussed the peace process in December 2024 and the SAC delegates and northern allies met and discussed.
However, they have not reached any firm agreements up to now and armed conflicts are still breaking out.
