Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is a figure who should rightfully be involved in discussions and negotiations aimed at resolving Myanmar’s ongoing national crises and armed conflicts, said Colonel Saw Kyaw Nyunt, spokesperson for the 7 EAO Alliance, speaking to CNI News.
He said that when addressing political issues and working to overcome the country’s challenges, the future of Myanmar can only be shaped through coordinated negotiations among all groups that ought to participate in such efforts.
He stated:“With Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s release, it’s difficult for me to say exactly how the situation in our country might change.But when we are trying to overcome the political and national crises we face, all individuals and organizations that must be part of the solution should necessarily be involved.Only through cooperation, negotiation, and consensus among all these essential stakeholders can we shape the future of our country.
Anyone—individuals or organizations—who has committed to addressing the nationwide crisis from a broader perspective should also include DASSK as a key stakeholder.”

Meanwhile, whether or not the government releases Daw Aung San Suu Kyi should only be considered based on the situation after the election, said Colonel Khun Oakkar, Chairman of the Pa-O National Liberation Organization (PNLO–NCA/S).
He stated:“From what I see, I don’t think they will release DASSK before the election.
They will consider it only depending on the situation that arises after the election.
If they release her before the vote, everything will become chaotic.If the post-election environment is more relaxed and brings positive change, then a new approach could emerge — one that more people might be able to accept.But if nothing changes after the election and the same people remain in control, then stability will be difficult.In any case, no one can say for sure whether she will be released or not.Even after the election, if they don’t want to release her, they won’t.If they do release her, it will most likely be after the election.”
On February 1, 2021, the Myanmar military (Tatmadaw) removed the National League for Democracy (NLD) government led by Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, claiming unresolved issues regarding alleged irregularities in the 2020 general election.
Following the coup, the military detained Aung San Suu Kyi, U Win Myint, and other senior officials.
Armed conflict subsequently escalated between the military and resistance groups, and the country has since faced severe political, economic, social, health, and education crises.
