MYANMAR is in the early stages of implementing a dem­ocratic system based on core principles such as justice, freedom, and equality, aligning with the aspirations of its people. To establish a thriving democracy, it is crucial for citizens to uphold unity, and discipline, respect the rule of law, and possess high levels of knowledge and education.

 

Unity and cohesion are fundamental to strengthening a na­tion’s power, driving development, and ensuring national benefits. Looking at other rapidly developing countries, it is evident that they have flourished by harnessing internal unity and strength. As the saying goes, “The strength of the nation lies within,” highlights the importance of building a nation from within. However, Myanmar currently faces significant challenges in protecting itself and is struggling to focus on devel­opment, instead concentrating on surviving amidst internal and external threats. Con­sequently, stability remains fragile, and progress is slow.

 

In various regions, clash­es between the government, ethnic armed organizations and PDF terrorists have re­sulted in the destruction of infrastructure and signifi­cant hardship for local pop­ulations, pushing many into poverty. These violent actions are often fuelled by domestic and foreign support, further complicating the situation. Citizens must recognize the consequences of the break­down of unity and the chaos that follows, learning from the suffering caused by these conflicts.

 

Those involved in the on­going armed conflicts, includ­ing ethnic armed organiza­tions and other organizations, have to end their violent activ­ities in the best interest of the nation and its people. Their actions are inflicting harm on the population and jeopardiz­ing the country’s future.

 

The essential needs of all ethnic groups are simple: to live, work, and eat in peace, under the law, while enjoying a healthy, prosperous life that promotes personal growth. The government is actively working to meet these needs, ensuring that all citizens experience equality and benefit from stable, long-term development. This effort prioritizes national unity and the peaceful advancement of the country.

 

Looking ahead, creating a stable, peaceful, developed, and prosperous nation requires fostering a strong sense of unity among all ethnic groups. Everyone must share the mindset of being part of Myanmar, cultivating the spirit and knowledge necessary for a harmonious society. The people of Myanmar, living together in the Union, should adopt a positive mindset and work collaboratively, guided by knowledge, skills, and a sense of justice. If this vision is realized, the nation’s future will undoubtedly be bright and harmonious.
