Statement of the CNF on the 51st Anniversary of the Chin National Day 

For the past 51 years, February 20 has uniquely marked the anniversay of 
the Chin National Day, continuously strengthening the unity of the Chin 
people. We send our best wishes and prayers to all the Chins in and out 
of Chinland for the pleasant day of celebration. We feel honored and 
encouraged by the initiative taken by Chins living in the Washington D.C 
area to honor the Chin National Day in the spirit that represents the 
political integrity of the Chin people.

The time has now come for the Chin people to build stronger unity to 
fight against the forces that aim to tear apart our unity. In building 
unity, willingness to sacrifice for the sake of the betterment of our 
peopole and the spirit of brother/sisterhood are of the most essential 
and fundamental element. Keeping in mind on the other hand our national 
unity, we must strive to achieve the goal we have set before us.

We as the Chin people must also take great caution to what we have 
become today, being a people deprived of political, economical and 
social privileges. Especially we must be aware of how Christianity in 
Chin State is systematically being annihilated and degraded by the 
present military junta. Then we will come to the realization of who and 
what are the real enemies of the Chin people. In striving towards our 
goal, it is indispensable that every Chin must participate.

In conclusion, I would like to send my greetings and heartfelt thanks to 
the Chin families in the Washington D.C area who have set a good example 
in taking the trouble to honor the Chin National Day with the spirit of 
unity and integrity of the Chin people. We sincerely hope that you will 
keep this spirit always alive in you.
