Peace Meetings

Major progress has been made by the Union-level Peace Team in reaching out to armed ethnic militia groups since the restart of peace talks in August. Despite the number of meetings and ceasefire agreements signed, many militia groups accuse the Myanmar army of continuing attacks and military buildup against their forces, undermining the validity of these talks and agreements. This alleged contradiction undermines all trust and peacebuilding efforts. Moreover, the government’s decision to deal individually with each group as opposed to collectively as proposed, has led many to suspect the government of a divide and rule strategy.
