Some foreign countries were delaying multi-party democracy and encouraging authoritarianism in the name of democracy, said Sr-Gen Min Aung Hlaing, chairman of the State Administration Council (SAC). 

He said the above in his written speech sent to the 73rd anniversary celebration of Kayah State Day which fell on 15th January 2025.

"The current unrest and violence in the country are because those who claim to be struggling for democracy attempted to seize state power unjustly through vote fraud and chose the path of armed violence without solving the dispute democratically in accordance with the law. Some foreign countries that claim to be practicing and protecting democracy are directly or indirectly encouraging armed terrorist attacks which are against the democratic system. These countries are delaying the multi-party democratic system which is the will of the people and encouraging dictatorship in the name of democracy so that they can manipulate our country. I want the people to notice that." said Sr-Gen Min Aung Hlaing.

The British colonialists invaded the united country (Myanmar) three times starting in 1824 and ruled Myanmar as a slave state. And then, the British divided and ruled the mainland and mountainous region for over 100 years, he said.

Due to the colonialist's divide and rule, some national races chose the armed policy, and there had been lack of peace and stability so far in the country, said chairman of the SAC.

" For the time being, because of the incitements of some foreign countries, some dissidents and organizations that are ignoring the interests of the pub, false and fabricated news that violates ethics and drags the nation into a dangerous precipice, persuasion and terrorist acts of the NUG, the CRPH and the PDFs, there have been no peace with misunderstandings and disunity among the people in some regions." said chairman of the SAC.

Having said that the NLD tried to form a government without solving the vote list dispute in the 2020 general election, the Myanmar Tatmadaw overthrew the NLD government and took the State power on 1st February 2021.

And then, the National Unity Government (NUG), the National Unity Consultant Council (NUCC), the Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH) and the People's Defense Force (PDF) that contain some NLD leaders and members of the Hluttaw, the KIA, the KNPP, the KNU, and the CNF and some EAOs are trying to overthrow the Myanmar Tatmadaw and the SAC.

So, battes are severely taking place between the Myanmar Tatmadaw and armed groups throughout the country and over three million people have already been displaced.

The SAC is carrying out in order to hand over the State power to the winning party in the 2025 general election so that armed conflicts could be stopped and the political crises could be come over.

However, the NUG, the PDFs and armed elements have announced that they will completely destroy the election that will be held by the SAC.
