National Unity Government Statement (1/2023) - “Statement on the events relating to the bombing of Chin National Front’s Headquarters at Camp Victoria”

Description: 

"On 10th January 2023 at around 4:30 pm and 11st January 2023 at around 4:00 pm, the terrorist military council used its jet fighters to bombard Camp Victoria which serves as the headquarters of Chin National Front. On the first day, two Chin women and three men revolutionaries were killed and quite a few others were injured and on second day, the medical clinic in the Camp and the civilian household were destroyed. It is also reported that during the event one bomb was dropped inside Indian territory. Even before this event the terrorist military council has been repeatedly bombing regions in Karen State, Kachin State, Sagaing Division and Magway Division where innocent lives have been lost. It is a known fact that from the time the terrorist military council staged an attempted coup d’etat on 1st February 2021 to date, 460 innocent civilians, mostly children, have lost their lives due to their repeated air strikes. The National Unity Government strongly condemns the terrorist military council’s use of air strikes targeting innocent civilians. We convey our condolences to all those who have lost their lives from the ethnic communities by these inhumane atrocities and pledge that we will do our utmost to find justice for all those lives lost by judiciary means, be it national or international. We urge our neighbouring countries to take immediate, robust action on the terrorist military council on the infringements incurred causing loss of property and livelihood in their land. These infringements and actions are in blatant contravention of the United Nations Security Council’s resolution that requires the immediate cessation of violence in Myanmar. As they also disregard the international community’s efforts to find a rapprochement in Myanmar’s affairs, we ask that the international community work hand in hand with the National Unity Government, the Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw, National Unity Consultative Council, People’s Representatives, and the Ethnic Revolutionary Forces to resolve the crisis in Myanmar..."
