In response to escalating conflict, the government made a pivotal decision to suspend military offensives and offer amnesty to insurgents. This initiative led to a significant number of surrenders, as individuals sought to reintegrate into society without facing prosecution. The amnesty was part of a broader strategy to restore peace and stability in the region, which had been marred by violence and unrest. Following the initial amnesty, a second offer was made, further encouraging those involved in the conflict to lay down their arms and return to civilian life. To facilitate the transition, the government established a National Committee of Reconstruction. This committee was tasked with re-establishing civil authority and creating a strategic plan to manage the reintegration of captured or surrendered insurgents. The government also took steps to address international relations, including the expulsion of North Korean diplomats, reflecting concerns about foreign influence in the ongoing conflict. The combination of amnesty and reconstruction efforts aimed to foster a more peaceful environment and rebuild the nation after a period of turmoil.
