Because according to the current Myanmar political situation, meeting and discussion could not produce a correct answer, it had to think about military means, Col. Nawbu, information officer of the Kachin Independence Organization(KIO)/the Kachin Independence Army (KIA), told CNI News.

Politically, the domestic problem must be discussed and according to the current situation, attack must be conducted, he said.

" Politically, domestic problem must be discussed to find a correct answer. Sr-Gen Min Aung Hlaing and the Tatmadaw are always creating problems. I don't think the discussion can produce a correct answer for the time being. We have to fight a bit, I think. This is just my opinion, but not the attitude of the KIO. They also didn't thoroughly discuss political rights what we, ethnic people, want. So, we have to think about military means, I think." he said to CNI News.

After Myanmar gained her independence in 1948, because ethnic people launched armed resistances to demand equal rights and self-determination, domestic armed conflicts took place. Because of political landscapes that changed after 1st February, 2021, armed conflicts tool place not only in border areas but also in the mainland.

Currently, the KIO/KIA is putting pressure on the Myanmar Tatmadaw by giving military training to the People's Defense Forces (PDFs) arising from the Spring Revolution, providing arms and ammunition, and waging joint operations.

The only way that could resolve in order to make armed conflicts end, rights must be imposed in the constitution, and it was necessary to have an assembly that could negotiate constitutional principles, Dr.Aye Maung, chairman of the Arakan Front Party (AFP) told CNI News.

" The only way that can end armed conflicts is to impose rights and responsibilities in the constitution. We have to rely on the constitution to organize the Myanmar Tatmadaw in a less conflict manner. We need a place where all dissident armed groups can negotiate. It is an assembly where constitutional principles can be negotiated. I wonder the State Administration Council will open the assembly and neighboring countries will encourage it. We'll review it at present." he said.

Although domestic armed conflicts have been taking place for over 70 years, it cannot resolved up to now. Armed organizations involving in the current conflict are making efforts to decisively beat each other while some EAOs and political parties are trying to resole the problem by political means.
