မင်းသော် As our Spring Revolution dragged on, two distinct classes gradually emerged.
The first type is the one who is immersed in their daily lives, going to bars and clubs, posting selfies, and treating the revolution as if it were fun for them, as if it had nothing to do with them, as if it were a superficial class.
Another type is the class that has been divided into those who have been fighting against the Spring Revolution since it began and who have not yet cooled down and who have been resisting it by any means necessary.
Here, revolution is not just about armed struggle, but also boycotting military equipment, excluding the communities that are related to them, and engaging in CDM, etc., are all revolutions.
Today, I want to talk a little about the UG groups, who are still fighting for their rights.
The role of UG groups was very important in the success of our revolution in such a short time.
If I have to continue, while I was running away from the military after completing my CDM, I lived with an uncle from the urban UG group,last year. That uncle was a former soldier. He was aslo our senior.
That guy is the kind of guy who talks softly and says a lot. He’s a real person who doesn’t hold back to talk. He’s honest.
Throughout the time I stayed with him, he made me feel comfortable and cared for me without any problems.
It was only through being close to him that I came to understand the lives of UG groups in detail.
Even though UG groups live in the city, they live in conditions that are as close to life as possible.
That job has to be comfortable with the environment and .It also needs to be unaware of the military junta.It’s such a very stealthy job.
Since people who work for UG groups live in the city, if they need money, they can’t go online and receive donations.
The uncle ,I lived with ,also worked for UG group but he didn’t receive any support and I’ve never seen him accept donations from anyone.
He sold his own things, mortgaged them, and got by with donations and gifts from close friends and acquaintances.
I only found out about it last week when his picture was on the news. When we were together, there was something my uncle always said when we got together.
“I will never be captured alive.
If I get one, if I get two, I will be killed and I will be executed. I can’t go to the interrogation. I can’t stand being tortured by these guys,”he said.
As I watched the news of his arrest, I imagined hearing the words he said.
I don’t know if it was because he was caught off guard or because he didn’t have time to fight back. Now, my uncle is facing the interrogation he fears most.
When asked what he would do after the revolution, he always replied that he would just drive a car again.
Even though I’m almost back,
“Take care, my nephew, if you don’t die, we’ll see you again,”
He said with a big smile. He helped me get to the northern territory, as much as he could.
The uncle who chose the UG knowing that his life was at risk because he wanted to create a free and just nation without expecting any benefits.
Now,he is facing a situation where he can’t even tell if he will live or die.
That’s just one UG I know. We don’t know how many more people like you are out there.
They are not doing this work for any reward, nor are they doing it because no one is giving them responsibility.
They are working for UG groups with their own conscience and responsibility.
They are the kind of people who work quietly and, even if they are arrested, they will disappear quietly.
The only sin worth wearing on your head is the sin of resisting injustice.
If there are such heroes around us, please take care of them with your words and your body. It is because of people like them that we are able to endure some things.
Only if UG groups can operate in the city, they can reduce the pressure on local groups and achieve victories. Only if the city can move and the local groups can move,
then the revolution will succeed quickly.
Therefore, those superficial people in the city who think if it suits us, it’s done ,those who are falling to the mold of the city’s water, saying, “We are the only ones who can do it,” should not say with their mouths that they want the revolution to succeed quickly and that they want it to be over.
Even if you can’t participate yourself, please stay quietly so that the UG groups in the city can move forward.
Reduce your travelling around and having fun. I know you need to rest, people need to have time to rest, but don’t let those who are working hard be discouraged or be disruptive.
I would like to urge you to help UG as you can.
