- On the occasion of the 4th anniversary of the founding of the Karenni National Defense Force (KNDF), the Interim Executive Council of Karenni State extends its prayers for the safety and well-being of all KNDF members who serve in various roles alongside the entire Karenni We honor and memorialize all KNDF members who have fallen as martyrs in the many battles fought over these four years. We also pay deep respect and tribute to all members who have sacrificed limbs and suffered injuries in combat.
- Overcoming numerous challenges along the way, it has now been four years since the KNDF has selflessly fought for the liberation of the Karenni people from the military dictatorship, for self-determination, and for federal democracy. We encourage the force to continue standing firm as a systematic, disciplined army that remains loyal to the people, respects military law, and is sustained by the people’s strength.
- We pray that the KNDF continues to march forward successfully towards its defined military and political objectives. May it continue efforts, alongside other allied forces, in the processes for establishing a state-level force during the future transition period and the time of building a Federal Union.
“We wish you continued resistance and fight against the oppression of the terrorist military junta and continued achievements.”
