According to their recent statement, federal democratic forces seemed to drop the peace process from their priorities, Col Khun Okkar, an ethnic leader, told the CNI.
Federal democratic forces issued a statement on 26 July, saying that the executions of Ko Jimmy, Ko Phyo Zeyar Thaw, Ko Hla Myo Aung and Ko Aung Thura Zaw were not in accordance with the law and rules and regulations, and the executions should shed lights on the true nature of the SAC.
Col Khun Okkar told the CNI, “Some members of the democratic forces are signatories of the NCA but they do not give priority to the peace process. It seems that they are not thinking about solving political issues through political means.”
Federal democratic forces called for all political parties, revolutionary forces and ethnic groups at home and abroad to cooperate with them to topple the SAC.
The federal democratic forces comprised the National Unity Government (NUG), the Committee Representing the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH), the Karen National Union (KNU), the Karenni National Progressive Party (KNPP), the Chin National Front (CNF), the All Burma Students Democratic Front (ABSDF) and the National League for Democracy (NLD).

Under the current circumstances, 70 percent of the country could be damaged and it was necessary for anyone to rescue the country, Col Khun Okkar said.
He said, “If it is impossible to stop the situation, most of the country would be damaged. I think it is necessary for everyone to rescue the country and to build the union in the future. When the situation is tense, rival groups will fight each other but when the situation deteriorates, they might have second thoughts.”
Federal democratic forces announced that they would fight to end the military dictatorship by using any available means including political, military, diplomatic and administrative arenas together with the people.
