		</div><p>The country has been wracked by unrest ever since, with a low-level insurrection in many urban areas.</p>
<p>There has been more serious combat in rural areas, especially in border regions where ethnic minority militias have been engaging in serious clashes with the government’s troops.</p>
<p>The shadow government’s prime minister, Mahn Winn Khaing Thann, said in a separate statement posted online that the move was taken due to “changing circumstances” that required the complete abolition of the ruling military regime.</p>
<p>He did not elaborate.</p>
<p>Duwa Lashi La called on the ethnic militias, some of whom have declared themselves in alliance with the NUG, to “immediately attack” government forces and “fully control your lands”.</p>
<p>The ethnic armed forces, which have been fighting for decades for greater autonomy from Myanmar’s central government, operate independently of the National Unity Government.</p>
<p>Duwa Lashi La called for a “people’s revolution” and asked for all soldiers and police to join the “people’s defence forces”.</p>
<p>He also warned civil servants against going to their offices.</p>
<p>The resistance movement against the military takeover had established “people’s defence forces” in many areas, but they mostly operate locally and when active, carry out small-scale hit-and-run guerrilla operations.</p>
<p>The National Unity Government was established by elected legislators who were barred from taking their seats when the military seized power.</p>
<p>Members of its shadow Cabinet are in hiding inside Myanmar and in exile.</p>
<p>Some 1,000 civilians have been killed in seven months of clashes following the army takeover.</p>
<p>A spokesman for the ruling military downplayed the call for renewed protests.</p>
<p>Maj Gen Zaw Min Tun blamed exiled media for exaggerating the opposition’s strength, in a statement posted on the Telegram app by state television MRTV.</p>
