16 January 2025

The political path might be given priority after 31st January when the SAC's six month tenure of the state of emergency will expire, chairman of the PNLO-NCA/S, Col. Khun Okkar told CNI News.

Because what would happen to political situation when the SAC renews the tenure has not been known yet, it was necessary to watch the political situation what would arise after 3st January, he said.

" It's necessary to watch the political situation that will arise when the tenure of the SAC expires. Because it's anybody's guess what will happen to the political situation after another six months extension, we have to consider whether to increase military or political activities. In any case, political path will be given priority, I think. Because the military activities reached at peak, it's necessary to promote the political path, which everyone has considered. When the political path is given priority, if armed elements win their political goals through political means, battles might be suspended." said Col. Khun Okkar.

CNI News

15 January 2025

Military and political analysts are considering differently regarding whether military conflicts will become more widespread in 2025.

Some people have considered that military conflict could be more widespread in 2025 than in 2024, when military intensity peaked while others considered that if political demands can be met through political means, a change could occur in 2025, U Than Soe Naing, a political commentator, told CNI News.

" On the one hand, there are encouragements to hold political dialogues, but battles will be taking place fiercely, I think. They will get worse because they have presumed that it is the final battle." said U Than Soe Naing.

Impossible to wage battles without hitting pagodas in Bagan region

CNI News
12 January 2025

If the Bagan region became a war zone, waging battles without damaging ancient temples and pagodas was impossible, chairman of the PNLO-NCA/S, Col. Khun Okkar told CNI News.

Nyaung U Township PDF (Ogre Army) announced on 8th January 2025 that it would wage operations in the Bagan region, Nyaung U Township in 2025, a World Culture Heritage Site.

It was impossible to wage battles in the Bagan region without damaging ancient pagodas and temples; because they are fighting at the edges of power instead of fighting at the source of power, it would bring loss to the country, Col. Khun Okkar told CNI News.

" If the Bagan region becomes a battle zone, it is impossible to damage ancient pagodas and temples. Although one side protects ancient pagodas and temples, the other might not protect them. These ancient things are not owned by the current armed groups. We will continue to maintain them. In fact, they have to fight at the power source. If they fight at the edges of power, it could bring loss to the country." he said.

Election could okay more than gripping power by only one person

CNI News

11 January 2025

If the election was able to be held in 2025, it would be more convenient than gripping power by only one person and changes could be made, military and political analysts told CNI News.

If the election could not be held in 2025, Naypyidaw would have such a bad problem that it would be in a badly hit situation, U Khun Sai, a person who is taking part in the peace process, told CNI News.

" If the election could be held, three powers currently held by only one person would be held by three groups and more changes could be made. If the election could not be held, Naypyidaw could have a bad problem because our neighboring countries want Myanmar to hold the election. If the election could be held, arms and ammunition would run out sooner or later. But if the election was postponed, the flow of arms and ammunition into Myanmar would continue. And then, even if the SAC was not overthrown, it could be badly attacked." he said.

RON-68 fuel sales are only good for the short term

CNI News

10 January 2025

The Ministry of Energy is selling RON-68 gasoline at 2,200 kyats per liter in Naypyidaw, which is only good for the short term, pointed out businessmen and financial analysts. RON-68 is the gasoline produced by refining petroleum produced by domestic factories.

Most vehicles in Myanmar use only RON-92 or RON-92 and if RON-68 was used, engine reportedly could be affected in the long run. However, it would support for normal vehicles and be good in the short term, U Htay Aung Kyi, a banking expert, told CNI News.

" It supports more or less. It's fine for engines that are compatible with RON-68. I don't understand it very well because I'm not an engineer. I'm not sure if RON-68 can replace RON-92. Even if it can be used, might it affect the engine in the long run. But according to the current situation, it is supportive for normal vehicles in the short term." he said.
