AA, MNDAA and PSLF/TNLA Top Leaders Alliance Meeting Statement

September 10, 2015

 

An alliance meeting between the top leaders of the Arakan Army (AA), Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army(KoKang) (MNDAA), and Palaung State Liberation Front (PSLF/TNLA) was successfully held in a liberated area from September 9 to 10, 2015. Political and military issues were discussed, and some important decisions were made. 

We urge the Government of Burma to ensure that the upcoming 2015 general elections will be free and fair. It is our desire that any government formed after the elections will seek to solve political and military issues with ethnic minorities in accordance with the Panglong promises. 

We, the three allies, recognized the rights to equality and self-determination between us and agreed on more political and military cooperation. 

We believe that the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA) is an important agreement to establish genuine peace. We will stand firm with the decisions made at Laiza and Lawkheelar summits that all Ethnic Armed Organizations should participate in the signing of the NCA at the same time.

The MNDAA has declared a unilateral ceasefire, while the PSLF/TNLA has announced to reduce its military activities. The MNDAA, PSLF/TNLA, and AA have also reached out to the government to negotiate ceasefires. However, the government continues to launch heavy military offensives in ethnic minority areas that hinder and undermine the peace process in Burma. Therefore, the Top Leaders Alliance Meeting strongly denounces such actions by the government.

Yangon’s Hero, Wielding Power of Stop and Go

By THOMAS FULLER NOV. 21, 2014 Sgt. Khin Myint Maung directing cars in Myanmar’s largest city, where his accolades are also an indictment of others’ corruption. Credit Tomas Munita for The New York Times YANGON, Myanmar — For 12 hours nearly every day, Sgt. Khin Myint Maung stands in one of the most chaotic intersections in this chronically gridlocked city, untangling traffic snarls with patience and unflagging good humor. It is not the most likely résumé for a recipient of a hero of the year award from a leading daily newspaper, or designation as a “role model” officer by the Yangon police force or a “real-life hero” by a German foundation. But the 26-year-old from the provinces, only recently promoted to sergeant, has earned all those awards, rising to fame purely by word of mouth. It is nearly impossible to find a taxi driver in Yangon who does n...
