The weakening of unity between armed groups and the people could delay the revolutionary journey and also lead to the failure of the revolutionary goals of their Chin people, 18 Chin armed groups jointly issued a statement on June 19, 2025.
The 18 Chin armed groups have jointly issued a statement stating that the frequent clashes between Chin revolutionary armed groups in Chin State, attempts to resolve disputes through armed means, and the weakening of unity between armed groups and the people may delay the journey of the people's revolution and may also lead to the failure of the revolutionary goals of their Chin people.
The statement said that the 18 armed groups of the Chin Spring Revolution have mutual respect among the Chin Spring Revolution armed groups and always hope for the unity of the entire Chin State.
Therefore, they would like to invite all Chin armed groups to avoid all words and actions that cause misunderstandings among themselves, prioritize fighting against the common enemy and seek political solutions to territorial and tribal issues in Chin state only after the revolution, said the 18 Chin armed groups in their statement.
