Mizzima

The General Strike Collaboration Committee (GSCC) issued a formal apology to the public on its fifth anniversary, acknowledging organizational mistakes and shortcomings throughout the Spring Revolution.

In a statement released on 8 February, the committee reaffirmed its refusal to engage in any form of “fake peace” or negotiations with the junta, pledging instead to honour the sacrifices of those who have fallen.

Over the past five years, the GSCC reported that six of its committee members were killed by the military, while numerous others remain imprisoned. Taking collective responsibility for the challenges faced by the movement, the committee cited the necessity of correcting past errors to ensure that the blood, sweat, and sacrifices of the people are not in vain.

The GSCC also outlined its firm political stance amid the current situation, stressing that it will not accept any form of “fake peace” or engage in negotiations with what it termed a terrorist group. Instead, it pledged to continue along the path for which the martyrs sacrificed their lives.

According to the statement, the GSCC will conduct an objective review of the entire revolutionary process and its own organizational role, correct past mistakes, and continue the struggle with full determination.

The committee further reaffirmed that it is its historic duty to fight until the oppressed people achieve victory, in line with the commitments laid out in the Federal Democratic Charter.

In a solemn warning, the GSCC said the people and revolutionary forces will continue fighting until victory is secured so that the lives lost, along with the blood, sweat, and sacrifices made, will not be in vain.
