Transitional Problems During the Revolution<\/h3>\n

After the military coup in February 2021, a mass uprising emerged under the banner of resisting the coup and establishing a federal democratic state\u2014widely known as the Spring Revolution<\/strong>. This movement, through both armed and nonviolent means, has endured for over four years, during which resistance forces have waged offensives, established militias, seized towns and military outposts, while the military regime responded with airstrikes, blockade tactics, and conscription laws.<\/p>\n

From the onset of the armed resistance to its ultimate goal\u2014defeating the junta militarily<\/strong>\u2014this period has come to be understood as the revolutionary or transitional phase<\/strong>. This terminology is reflected in the usage of terms like Interim Government, Interim Education Committee<\/strong>, and Interim Governance Council<\/strong>, indicating a stage where the military regime has not yet been dismantled and a federal democracy has yet to be established.<\/p>\n

During this transitional period<\/strong>, expectations of strong governance, education, health, and judicial systems cannot yet be fulfilled\u2014people must endure hardships under unresolved, chaotic conditions.<\/p>\n

Undefined Standards and Emerging Problems<\/h3>\n

Importantly, no official declaration or legislation has ever clearly defined what the \u201ctransitional period\u201d entails or what standards it should uphold. As a result, no one anticipated or planned for the wide array of problems that have emerged under this label.<\/p>\n

The term \u201ctransitional\u201d<\/strong> is often used as a justification<\/strong> for falling short of ideal governance. While it may imply \u201ctemporary tolerance for disorder,\u201d it also suggests an excuse for inaction<\/strong> or a lack of accountability.<\/p>\n

Some use it as a shield to deflect criticism over financial misconduct, unregulated taxation, resource over-extraction, environmental degradation, or human rights abuses\u2014claiming it is too early to expect standards.<\/p>\n
