On August 19, marking the 77th anniversary of the Mon Revolution, three Mon revolutionary groups—the Mon National Liberation Army (MNLA-AD), the Mon State Revolutionary Force (MSRF), and the Mon State Defence Force (MSDF)—issued a call to action against the military, labelling it a common enemy.
The groups urged both internal and external revolutionary forces to unite and fight together across the country. They emphasized that Min Aung Hlaing's military regime is a shared adversary of the Mon people and stressed the need to form a National Alliance to carry out the revolution effectively.
The revolutionary groups highlighted the necessity for all armed forces in Mon State resisting tyranny to coordinate their efforts. They also called for strategic alliances with ethnic resistance organizations, the People’s Defence Forces, and other forces involved in the Spring Revolution. According to their statement, the current political and military conditions in the country present the most opportune moment for national liberation and the pursuit of federal democracy.
Reports indicate that revolutionary forces are gaining ground, capturing camps and cities in northern, western, and other states of Myanmar, including the Northeast Command. The regime's top leadership appears disorganized, and the military's position is increasingly unstable.
MSRF spokesperson Naing Naga commented, "The longevity of the revolution is not something to be proud of. It is time for all Mon armed forces to unite, with the support of the Mon people, to initiate a peaceful year of liberation. We must draw up a national strategy backed by the public and cooperate with other revolutionary forces."
Naing Naga urged Mon revolutionary forces, Mon youths at home and abroad, and the Mon public to seize this opportunity, fight decisively and boldly, and take advantage of the favorable situation to dismantle the military council, which has caused significant physical and mental hardship for ethnic communities. The ultimate goal is to achieve equality, self-determination, peace, security, and prosperity.
The Mon armed revolution, now in its 77th year, continues to fight for national equality, democratic rights, and the right to self-determination—rights that the Mon people have long been denied. The three Mon resistance organizations reiterated that these rights can only be achieved through resistance against oppressive systems, including bigotry and military dictatorship.
