Military junta in Myanmar
Nabida After three and a half years of internal war in Myanmar, the junta’s army has finally surrendered. Now the junta itself has called for a halt to the fighting and has also agreed to hold talks on the matter. The Military Council took this step in light of the heavy losses it suffered in the ongoing war with armed groups for three and a half years. Now Myanmar’s beleaguered junta on Thursday called on armed groups opposed to its rule to stop fighting and begin peace talks.
The unexpected display comes after the country suffered massive battlefield defeats at the hands of armed ethnic minority groups and the pro-democracy People’s Defense Forces, which are expected to resist a military coup in 2021, Agence France-Presse reported. In addition to facing stubborn resistance to its rule, the junta is also facing Typhoon Yagi, which has caused floods that have killed more than 400 people and left hundreds of thousands in need of assistance.
The military junta issued this announcement
The junta said in a statement: “We call on ethnic armed groups, rebel terrorist groups and UPDF terrorist groups fighting against the state to negotiate peace so that they abandon the terrorist fight and solve political problems.” Let us tell you that the junta’s army overthrew the elected civilian government of Aung San Suu Kyi in February 2021, sparking massive protests followed by atrocities. Civilians created the People’s Defense Forces in retaliation, and many ethnic minority armed groups that had fought the army for decades reactivated, plunging the country into civil war. The statement said armed groups must “escape partisan politics and elections to achieve lasting peace and development.”
The military junta admitted that the country had reached a dead end due to the war.
“The country has lost human resources, infrastructure and many lives and the conflict has hampered the country’s stability and development,” the junta said. The junta has been fighting for decades for greater autonomy along the border with Thailand, and National Union spokesman Padoh Saw Taw Nee said talks would only be possible if the military agreed on “common political goals.” He told AFP that there should be no military interference in future politics and the army must agree to a federal, democratic constitution “and they (the army) must bear responsibility for everything they have done… including wars.” Including crimes and crimes against humanity, but there will be no impunity. “If they don’t agree, nothing will happen.”
