MYANMAR-, Minister Yee Mon, the Minister of Defense, said there is the liberated area of the National Unity Government (NUG) after the organization of the People Defense Force (PDF) during three years of revolution.
Mr.Yee Mon said that PDF has been organized since May 5, 2021, as he mentioned in the speech on the third anniversary of the organization of the People Defense Force (PDF). If you ask whether
NUG has the liberated area; we will answer yes. In those areas, we cleared the administration of the junta and started public administration. And also, there were some areas where the junta couldn’t penetrate.
Those areas were wider and stronger day by day. This was mainly achieved by the comrades. The glorious sacrifices of our comrades must go down in history, said Mr.Yee Mon.
He added that NUG supported PDF as political and military support and organized People Defense Team to provide military strategy simultaneously. During three years, both revolutionary forces matured quickly and were able to achieve a lot of victories.
The comrades who want to achieve victory must be loyal to revolution, serve the civilians, help each other (comrades), and work righteously to achieve victory in revolution, urged Mr.Yee Mon.
Mr.Yee Mon said that during the revolution, both the military force and administration needed to be strong, just like the left hand and right hand, which work in balance. People Defence Force(PDF) which was responsible for military and People administration organization, and the People Liberation Organization were allied revolutionary teams for revolution. Each team and comrades have to support each other. Everyone has to fulfill their responsibilities according to ethics. Our common goal is to defeat the military dictator.
According to the NUG‘s Ministry of Defense’s third-anniversary report, about two-thirds of the core combat forces of the junta, are composed of ten junta teams and twenty junta headquarters.
It was stated in the report that military service laws and forced conscription of civilians revealed the weakness of the junta council. The frequent changes of top junta officers evidenced the lack of military failure and chaotic command.
NUG said they were expanding the PDF Drone Force and training, group installation, and building command to thousands of forces. The aim is to launch grand strategic offensives.
They were expanding the Medical Support Team, Communication Team, Engineers Team, and Vehicles Team , as stated in the report.
