The Tatmadaw was able to keep the country from falling apart through ages, said Sr-Gen Min Aung Hlaing, chairman of the State Administration Council (SAC).
He said the above while he was meeting with officials, privates and their families in the Meiktila and Mandalay Cantonments of the Myanmar Tatmadaw 10th January 2025.
" According to the geographical location of the state's existence, the Myanmar Tatmadaw consistently carried out its duties for the preservation of the country's union, national solidarity, and sovereignty." said Sr-Gen Min Aung Hlaing.
The Myanmar Tatmadaw took the State power after overthrowing the NLD government because the NLD did not solve the vote list dispute in the 2020 general election.
And then, protests and objections emerged and they changed into revolution and armed elements are trying to overthrow the Myanmar Tatmadaw and the SAC.
Although there were only protests in the early days when the Myanmar Tatmadaw started taking the State power, later due to incitement from some ethnic armed groups and foreign countries, terrorist groups disturbed the peace and stability of the State in various ways.
But the Myanmar Tatmadaw carried out the operation with restraint. Organizations and individuals from home and abroad who did not want the stability, peace, and development of the country are using various methods to create divisions between the military and the people, explained the SAC chairman.
The ultimate goal of the SAC was to hold a free and fair multi-party democratic general election and the SAC was doing its best to hold a free, fair and credible election, he said.
The election would be held in 2025 and the State power would be handed over to the winning party, said chairman of the SAC.
Battles are severely breaking out between the Myanmar Tatmadaw and armed groups in Sagaing, Magway, Mandalay, Bago Regions, Kachin, Chin, Kayah, Karen, Rakhine and Mon States.
Due to the battles, the Myanmar Tatmadaw has lost control of several hundred military camps including the Northeast Command and the West Command and over 90 townships.
It is estimated that battles will spread to Ayeyarwady Region in 2025. Moreover, the rule of law is also weak in Yangon and Naypyidaw and thefts, robberies and murders are occurring.
