Chin resistance forces and former Chin parliamentarians, who established the Chinland Council late last year and earlier this year, the Chinland Government, convened to discuss the complete removal of the military regime from Chin State.
Council and government members gathered in the town of Chin Lon at the end of May to discuss the maintenance of their defences and upcoming offensives in the state.
“Representatives deliberated on methods to force the Military Council to withdraw from Chinland. Our strategy is to capture all of the Burma army camps,” explained Salai Paul, the general secretary of the Chinland Council.
Representatives from the 14 armed forces within the council attended the meeting on May 31.
“We aim for cooperation among Chin resistance groups to liberate Chinland,” he said, noting Tedim’s inclusion in this effort. Consequently, they seek a joint operation with the Chin Brotherhood Alliance, whose armed forces have so far chosen to remain independent of the council.
The Chinland Government successfully captured Tonzang and Cikha near the Indian border on May 23.
The Chin Brotherhood Alliance began attacking regime installations in Tedim town, adjacent to Tonzang, on May 27.
In addition to Cikha and Tonzang, Chin resistance groups have already seized Rihkhawdar, Lailenpi, Rezua, Kyatwee, Weibula, Ner Rein, Makui Imnu, and Sukhua from the regime in the state.
