Myanmar’s armed resistance groups have firmly rejected a surprise appeal from the military junta to cooperate ahead of elections planned for late this year, branding the overture a cynical ploy to divide opposition forces and legitimise military rule.

 

The junta’s proposal, published Saturday in state media, invited all armed groups to join the political process “within the framework of the law” and work “hand in hand with the government.” It comes as the regime reels from sustained military defeats at the hands of ethnic armed organisations and People’s Defence Forces (PDFs) allied with the pro-democracy movement.

 

The exiled National Unity Government (NUG), made up largely of lawmakers ousted during the 2021 coup, swiftly dismissed the invitation. In a statement, the NUG condemned the junta’s message as “a strategy filled with deception aimed at legitimising their power-consolidating sham election.”

 

Myanmar has been mired in civil conflict since the military overthrew Aung San Suu Kyi’s elected civilian government in February 2021. The coup triggered widespread protests, which were met with deadly force. In response, citizens across the country formed PDFs, while longstanding ethnic armed groups ramped up decades-old struggles for autonomy—together creating a formidable, if fragmented, resistance.

 

Despite the regime’s repeated insistence that elections will take place in December and January, international observers and domestic opponents widely view the process as a façade to cement military control.

 

The junta previously extended a similar olive branch in September 2024, following a major offensive by three ethnic minority groups. That call, too, was largely ignored, as trust in the military’s intentions remains virtually nonexistent among resistance factions.

 

With little sign of meaningful dialogue, and the country’s civil war grinding on, the junta’s latest outreach is unlikely to change the calculus on the ground. For many, the only path forward lies not through negotiation—but through resistance.

Total pigs. The Burmese army is a den of thieves, drug dealers, gem smugglers, human traffickers, serial killers, vote stealers and despot thugs. Billionaires raping the public. 

 

General Min Aung Hlaing is the top pig. He says the military will hold an election and hand over power to the winning party. Right. Can't handle the loss? 

 

That same nimwit then suggested that the economic environment for investment would be good under the military. Well, if you call billionaire generals good for the economy, well it is at least good for a few hundred idiotic, and ridiculously corrupt and morally bankrupt generals, anyway.

 

When the Burmese army says they are uninterested in politics, that is total BS. They are power hungry thugs. Utter pigs and despots. The billionaire generals are thieves, robbing the people of their gems, their timber, their minerals and selling heroin and engaging in human trafficking for the sake of amassing wealth. And supported by extremist Buddhist monks against the minorities. Broken men. With their recent overthrow, they have self revoked the right to consume oxygen. Let us hope the  Myanmar youth prevail! May the dinosaurs be pushed out. A pox on their families. A terrorist army.

 

Hooray to the Burmese people, may they bring utter misery to the junta, and the thieves that are controlling Burma, stealing their treasure, and inflicting misery on their people.

 

These corrupt, thieving, Burmese Army generals, are mafia goons who are finally getting what they deserve.

They are terrorists, slaughtering their own people.
