Min Aung Hlaing touched on familiar themes, urging the international community not to support the resistance forces, whom he blamed for disturbing the process for planned but not yet scheduled elections. Min Aung Hlaing said it is “disheartening to witness youths becoming scapegoats of insurgents, misled by false narrative propaganda through media sabotage." He also accused unnamed ethnic armed groups of “destro ying the path towards forming a union based on democratic values and federalism.”The military’s suppression of protests against its takeover triggered nationwide armed resistance.
