Formed to unify resistance against military rule, the NUG aims to restore democracy, advocate for human rights, and coordinate efforts for national reconciliation. It operates as an alternative government, seeking international recognition and support to restore civilian governance amid ongoing conflict and instability. The NUG embodies a collective effort to oppose authoritarianism and work towards a democratic future for Myanmar.
