KNU says all of their brigades will fight against the military dictorship

The Karen National Union (KNU), the longest-standing revolutionary group in Myanmar, is composed of 8 brigades and will fight against the dictator, said spokesperson Pado Saw Taw Nee.

The coup army leader Min Aung Hlaing said that the Karen National Union (KNU) Brigades 1st, 3rd and 5th were conspiring with the KNU Chairman and the Commander in Chief to fight around the Sittaung River.

In the coup leader's statement, the 1st, 3rd, and 5th brigades will attack the entire around Sittaung River again. When they say that they are going to bring back the fighting, it is understood that it is to destroy the KNU organization, which is a long-standing revolutionary organization.



After the February 2021 coup, the KNU vowed to fight to end completely the military dictatorship. The KNU must also reverse the military leader's statement that it violated the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA). The essence of the NCA is that a political problem must be solved by non-violent, but the coup army leader seized power through violence, it is said that the person who breaks the NCA treaty is the coup leader.


KNU's spokesperson, Pado Saw Taw Nee, said that the coup army leader is talking like this because the North Eastern Military Command, which is the third most powerful of the 14 military regions, has fallen completely in one month.
