"Bonjour! Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Dear respected members of the Foreign Affairs Committee of Defenses and Armed Forces of the Senate, the Parliament of France, I cannot thank you enough for giving me this great opportunity again to represent my people and country of Myanmar before the French Parliamentarians. I am so moved by seeing and hearing the strong support from the People, Parliament and Government of France for the liberation and freedom of the people of Myanmar from the hands of the military junta and for the building of an inclusive Federal Democratic Union of Myanmar for All of the people of Myanmar regardless of race, religion, gender, culture, background and ethnicities. The brave people of Myanmar and the National Unity Government of Myanmar greatly appreciate the People, Parliament and Government of the French Republic for your solidarity with us at this darkest of hours in the history of our country. I once again would like to reiterate our sincere gratitude for your leadership in the EU, UN and at G7 on behalf of the people of Myanmar. Thank you for the recognition of CRPH and NUG as representing the voices of the people of Myanmar and thank you for joining countries that have imposed an arms embargo in solidarity against the ruthless military junta in Myanmar. While the future of Myanmar is in the hands of the brave people of Myanmar, we need the strong and continued support, friendship and recognition from the people, Parliamentarians, and Government of France and its international alliance. Your support and recognition are absolutely crucial in stopping the crimes against humanity in Myanmar and ending the military General’s reign of terror against the innocent people of Myanmar who’s only 'crime' is expressing their fundamental rights as human beings. The defense and armed forces are established in the countries around the world to protect their people and to defend freedom and democracy, but the defense and armed forces in Myanmar are doing the opposite. They are using their battlefield weapons to destroy our freedom and democracy by killing the innocent people of Myanmar and bringing destruction to civilian homes, villages, towns and cities across the Nation of Myanmar. Under the hands of terrorist-turned-armed forces leader, Min Aung Hlaing and his military junta gang, the innocent people of Myanmar have been facing the crises of crimes against humanity, Covid-19 and a great humanitarian catastrophe. Under the brutality of the military junta in Myanmar, Covid-19 cases are rising rapidly and out of control - the country is quickly becoming a failed state; the economy is collapsing along with the healthcare system, education system, and all basic services in the country are failing quickly. Food insecurity is rising sharply, violence and killing continues day and night. The 54 million people of Myanmar are facing the darkness of crimes against humanity, death and destruction which are becoming both systematic and widespread. Since the failed coup was instigated on the 1st of February 2021 in Myanmar, the military junta forces have murdered over 915 people, including 72 children, unlawfully arrested and detained more than 6,200 innocent Myanmar people including our elected leaders, our State Counsellor, Daw San Suu Kyi, Mr. President U Win Myint and dozens of brave journalists, hunting down more than 2,000 innocent civilians and forcing them to flee from illegal arrest warrants. All these charges are a farce which has nothing to do with rule of law but has everything to do with the destruction of our freedom, democracy and prolonging of the military junta reign of terror in Myanmar. On the 16th of June 2021, the military junta committed another crime against humanity by burning down the entire village of Kinma (over 250 homes) and burning elderly people to death who were trapped inside their homes. This is not a first, however, as this military junta is guilty of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and ethnic cleansing against the Rohinga our brothers and sisters, the people of Karen, Kachin, Kayah, Shan, Mon, Rakhine, Chin States which account for over 40% of the population of Myanmar. We have made our policy and position strong and clear to bring justice for our Rohingya brothers and sisters and to hold the military generals accountable for the crimes against humanity that they have committed against the people of Myanmar. There shall never again be impunity for these criminals. According to the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), 1.2 million civilians are currently displaced by the violence caused by the military junta’s reign of terror. The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) is predicting that over half of the population of Myanmar (approximately 27 million people) will be living in poverty within a year. The United Nations World Food Program (WFP) is predicting that more than 6.4 million people in Myanmar are going to face starvation by the end of October 2021. We cannot allow the normalization of 1.2 million Myanmar people being violently forced to flee from their homes because of a military dictator’s thirst for power. We cannot allow the normalization of 6.4 million Myanmar people being forced into starvation; we cannot allow the normalization of 27 million people in Myanmar being forced into extreme poverty because of the greed of military Generals in Myanmar. The brutal military junta forces are attacking civilian homes, properties, villages, towns and cities across Myanmar with heavy battlefield weapons. They have occupied churches, schools, community halls and hospitals to use as barracks and supply depots. These junta forces are replacing textbooks and pencils with the terror of fear, violence, guns and bullets; replacing Bibles and hymnals with intimidation, oppression, mortars and bombs; and replacing life-saving hospital equipment with weapons of torture, destruction and death. It is not normal that classrooms are being occupied by junta soldiers, and that the school children are being forced to flee for their lives; nor is it normal that places of worship and community centers are being occupied by the junta forces, and that the communities, pastors, monks, and leaders are being forced to flee for their lives. It is not normal that our hospitals, schools, colleges, universities, banks, and economy is crashing due to this military reign of terror..."
