According to the current situation, the State Administration Council was trying to protect against the country's enemies without the ability to construct the country, said the SAC Chairman Sr-Gen Min Aung Hlaing.

He said the above in his message sent to the 51st Anniversary Celebration of the Mon State Day that fell on 19 March 2025.

"Today, we can see developed countries have been firmly built with unity. In accordance with 'The country's strength lies within the country.' The country must be built with domestic strength; but according to the current situation of our country, we are trying hard to protect with domestic strength against the country's enemies without the ability to build the country. So, stability is weak and development is still far away." said the SAC Chairman.

Because of the attacks by EAOs and the PDFs in various regions, infrastructure of the state was being damaged and the people were losing their lives and properties, he added. 

" Every citizen should be careful that there are supports and agitations from local and abroad behind the terrorist acts and it's time to take lessons from sufferings and troubles that result from the breakdown of unity." said the SAC Chairman.

He urged ethnic armed organizations and other armed groups that were waging battles and that were conducting unrest and violence to stop their actions that were getting the people into trouble and that endangered the country for the sake of the country and the people.

All citizens should unite and protect the country based on the spirit of the Union, said the SAC Chairman Sr-Gen Min Aung Hlaing. After saying that the NLD party was tr trying to form a government without solving the vote list dispute in the 2020 general election, the Myanmar Tatmadaw overthrew the NLD government on 1 February 2021 and announced the state of emergency. 

And then, the State Administration Council and a caretaker government were formed and the country has been ruling until 2025. The SAC can't still lift the state of emergency.

EAOs, MPs, the NLD leaders and democracy activists are carrying out armed resistance against the Myanmar Tatmadaw and the SAC to overthrow them because the Myanmar Tatmadaw has taken the State power.

These armed conflicts are severely taking place in Myanmar's Sagaing Region, Magway Region, Mandalay Region, Ayeyarwady Region, Bago Region, Tanintharyi Region, Shan State, Karen State, Chin State, Mon State, Kayah State, Rakhine State, and Kachin State.

Because of these battles, there have been over three million IDPs while nearly one hundred thousand houses and buildings were burned down or destroyed, and inter-regional travel is also lacking in security.
