The Arakan Liberation Party (ALP) issued a statement on February 14th, opposing military dictatorship and pledging the continued efforts for building up the federal union.
Saw Mya Yazar Lin, Spokesperson of the ALP declared “No one will view the military coup as a good thing. We don’t want the situation of a coup. Now the unrest has erupted nationwide. It may hamper the country’s development, resulting in great losses to the citizens.”
She added “The ALP has been constantly working for the emergence of a genuine democratic federal union, national equality and autonomy, for more than three decades.”
In its statement, the ALP called on the officials to urgently implement a way to provide a better solution to the problem, as the current political crisis may bring about many negative impacts on the country’s future.
The spokesperson of the ALP concluded “We encountered such problems in 1988. In my view, the conflict in Myanmar must be thoroughly discussed around the table. Seeking the solution through peaceful means to solve the country’s problem will bring about the fruitful results.”
The ALP/ALA (Arakan Liberation Army) is an EAO which has signed the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA) with the government since 2015.
