A coalition of 46 civil society organizations (CSOs) issued a joint statement on March 10, urging revolutionary forces fighting to overthrow the military dictatorship to resolve internal disputes through dialogue and alliance-based negotiation rather than armed force.

The CSOs noted that while unity among revolutionary groups is crucial, clashes between partner forces have been increasing.

They raised concerns over unjustified detentions, political inequality among allies, and the use of military power to suppress communities.

“As the revolution continues, the suffering people face greater hardships. If revolutionary groups fail to unite or negotiate at this time, the conflict will likely persist. We also urge them not to exploit the public by relying on weapons,” said an official from a civil society organization who requested anonymity.

The statement emphasized opposition to any use of armed force against fellow revolutionaries or civilians. It called on the National Unity Government (NUG) and ethnic armed revolutionary organizations to establish and strictly follow clear policies governing alliance relations.

Observers warned that divisions among anti-junta forces strengthen the military regime. “At this stage, revolutionary groups should consolidate enough collective strength to rival the junta. Prioritizing organizational ego risks making them appear no better than the military regime,” said a young International Relations student in Thailand.

The CSOs stressed that the military dictatorship can only be fully challenged if revolutionary forces reject “might is right” dynamics and build a genuine united front.

They urged all anti-dictatorship groups to collaborate under a shared political vision, equality, and clear policies.
