The terrorist military council issued a statement today, July 5, calling for People’s Defense Force (PDF) members to join forces with the military, using divisive language aimed at creating rifts between the CRPH, NUG, and PDFs. The statement threatens that if PDFs continue their armed resistance, their family members and relatives will face social and economic hardships. The council’s announcement attempts to manipulate the situation by claiming they are working towards holding elections and suggesting that the armed resistance path is counterproductive to democracy.
In their statement, the military council acknowledges that the PDFs’ goal is to establish a democratic federal union, but claims that the military is already working towards holding elections. They argue that continuing armed resistance would be detrimental to the state and would reverse democratic progress. The council attempts to create division by suggesting that the CRPH and NUG are afraid of losing their standing once parliament and government are formed through elections. The statement uses manipulative language to portray these legitimate opposition groups as obstacles to democracy.
The military council claims that armed resistance has led to the loss of young lives and human resources, stating that over 70 years of armed conflict has produced no results while hindering national development. They urge PDF members to abandon their armed resistance and join the military council’s electoral path, directing them to contact nearby military camps and local authorities. The statement, published in state-controlled media under the title ‘Call for Union Benefit,’ represents another attempt by the military council to undermine the unity of resistance forces while threatening the families and communities of those who continue to oppose their illegal rule.
