The All Burma Students’ Democratic Front (ABSDF) traces its origins to the 8.8.88 Uprising and was officially founded on November 1, 1988.

The ABSDF's overarching political aspirations include: • Liberate all ethnicities from military rule. • Promote democracy and human rights. • Achieve peace. • Establish a federal union.

During the 11th ABSDF Conference, key leadership roles were filled: • Comrade Than Khe (Chairman) • Comrade Myo Win (Vice-Chairman) • Comrade Sunny (General Secretary) • Comrade Myint Hein (Joint General Secretary-1) • Comrade Hla Htay (Associate General Secretary-2)

This leadership directs ABSDF's operations from its headquarters situated in areas under KNU and operates within KIA and KNU-controlled territories. Notably, ABSDF endorsed the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA) alongside other armed groups on October 15, 2015. Nevertheless, the group recommenced their resistance following the military coup on February 1, 2021.

While U Min Zaw from ABSDF attended the NCA's six-year anniversary meeting organized by the Military Council, ABSDF's statement dated October 4, 2021, confirmed that this participation was not in alignment with the Central Committee's wishes or consent.

On May 8, 2022, ABSDF publicly declined the military council's invitation, asserting the insufficiency of the setting for inclusive and equitable stakeholder discussions. ABSDF has joined forces with various groups and organizations in joint statements condemning the military regime's criminal actions, including NUG, CRPH, KNU, KNPP, CNF, and NLD.

ABSDF has actively engaged in resistance alongside fellow forces. On March 6, 2023, ABSDF Battalion (12) held a graduation ceremony, reinforcing its commitment. The official ABSDF website reiterates its stance in unison with all ethnicities to address Myanmar's current crises arising from the military coup and council.

Additionally, ABSDF is a member of the National Unity Consultative Council (NUCC).
