Political problems of Shan State and Myanmar would be resolved through discussion, released the Restoration Council of Shan State (RCSS). The RCSS urged stakeholders to hold face-to-face dialogues to build a federal democratic union on 25th February 2025.
The annual meeting of the RCSS was held in Loi Tai Leng, headquarters of the RCSS on 24th and 25th February in 2025 and the RCSS urged it.
"For the long-term sustainability of peace and the establishment of a federal democratic union, we strongly urge relevant organizations to meet face-to-face to discuss and resolve the problem." said in the statement of the RCSS.
They would continue to work with local communities in rural areas and townships to implement local governance, said the RCSS. When the RCSS was active in northern Shan State, joint forces from the TNLA, the SSPP and the UWSA fought against the RCSS after which the RCSS had to retreat from northern Shan State to southern Shan State.
In collaboration with the AA, the PDFs, the BPLA, the PLA, the KNDF, the DPLA, the MDY-PDF and the BNRA, the TNLA and the MNDAA launched Operation-1027 on 27th October 2023, and attacked and captured Lashio, Chin Shwe Haw, Phaungsai, Monkoe, Laukkai, Kon Kyan, Kyukote, Theinni, Kutkai, Thibaw, Namkham, Nansang, Mangtong, Mong Ngor, Monglong, Namtu, Kyaukme, and Nawnghkio Townships including the Northeast Command of the Myanmar Tatmadaw.
In the same way, battles are breaking out between the PNO/PNA and PNLO/PNLA-PDF joint forces in southern Shan State while the RCSS has made military preparations, getting footholds in militarily important places, said locals.
Territorial disputes are emerging among armed groups - the TNLA, the KIA, the MNDAA, the UWSA, the RCSS, the SSPP, the PNLO and the PNO.
