Myanmar Rebels, Military Agree to China-Mediated Ceasefire
A major ethnic rebel group in Myanmar announced a ceasefire with the military after China-mediated talks, bringing a pause to months of intense clashes in the northeast near the Chinese border.
The Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA) said the truce was signed during talks held Monday and Tuesday in Kunming, a Chinese provincial capital about 400 kilometers from the Myanmar border.
The announcement was made via a statement on the Telegram messaging platform, reports UNB citing AP.
The ceasefire is seen as a strategic gain for Myanmar’s military government, which has regained control over key territories ahead of elections scheduled to begin Dec 28.
Critics argue the polls, which exclude main opposition parties, aim to legitimize and consolidate military rule.
