Sai Ngern, a leader with one of the Ethnic Armed Organizations who are a signatory to the National Ceasefire Agreement (NCA-S EAO). The negotiation meeting between the Government and NCA-S EAO was held at the National Reconciliation and Peace Center located in Yangon on the 6th and 7th March. Photo – Negotiation meeting between the government and NCA-S EAO (Hla Maung Shwe) “At this meeting, negotiators from both sides were able to discuss the details of their proposal, and more agreements were reached,” said Col. Sai Ngern. He added that the negotiation meeting agreements included, i) plans to sign the the third segment of the Union Accord (UA), ii) an adaptation of a step-by-step work plan, iii) stages of an implementation strategy for the peace process beyond the year 2020 and iv) an agreement on basic federal principles. Respective organizations will bring these agreements for further discussion and approval at the Union Peace Dialogue Joint Committee (UPDJC) meeting to be held in Naypyitaw from 10th to 12th March. After that, the 21st Century Panglong meeting will be convened following national-level political dialogues, according to the U Hla Maung Shwe, an Advisor to the Myanmar Peace Commission (PC). “We will be in Naypyitaw for the UPDJC Secretariat meeting on March 10th and the UPDJC meeting will take place on March 12th. After that, we will continue with national-level political talks, working committee and conference,” he added. However, the representative of the Arakan Liberation Party, Daw Saw Mya Yazar Lin, offered a different opinion. He told the media that the plan for the fourth meeting of the 21st Century Panglong Peace Conference is unlikely to work. “There are still things that cannot be done on time. Therefore, it is not sure whether the UPC will be held in April. However, there will be a meeting in April, and it depends on the decision of the meeting,” said Dar Saw Mya Yazar Lin. After the Third meeting of the 21st Century Panglong Peace Conference held in July in 2018, the peace process has been stalled for more than a year and a half. The government, Tatmadaw, and ethnic armed organizations had been negotiating with the hopes they could Page 3 of 50 resume the implementation of the peace process followed by the 8th JICM meeting that was held in January. http://monnews.org/2020/03/10/implementation-of-the-national-cease-fire-agreement- makes-progress-says-nca-s-eao-leader/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NCA meeting to be held this month By Mizzima | 09 March 2020 Government representatives and the representatives of (NCA-S EAO) hold the bilateral coordination meeting at National Reconciliation and Peace Centre in Yangon yesterday.

In his concluding address, Vice Chair of National Reconciliation and Peace Centre (NRPC) Union Attorney General U Tun Tun Oo said during the two days the meeting discussed the phase-wise work programs beyond 2020 of the framework agreement on the implementation of NCA and the progress in realizing them. The two-day meeting could produce many agreements as well as issues that need further negotiations. It is believed that gradually, those issues can be settled.

  • Inle Lake Long Term Restoration & Conservation Plan
    Foreword Inle Lake is one of the priority conservation areas in Myanmar due to its unique ecology, historical, religious, cultural, traditional background and natural beauty. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Myanmar and tourism is expected to rise significantly with the opening up of the country. Realization that widespread soil erosion on the mountain ranges flanking Inle Lake could eventually cause problems that would threaten the future existence of the Lake prevailed since late 19th century. Measures were introduced, but were ineffective as they were not developed progressively enough. Several droughts occurred since 1989, but the severe drought that occurred in 2010 was the wakeup call, which brought about serious concerns and recognition that urgent planning and mitigation measures in a comprehensive and integrated manner was imperative, if the Lake was to be saved. Ministry of Environmental Conservation and Forestry (MOECAF) organized a National Workshop in 2011 at Nay Pyi Taw; basic elements required to draw up a Long Term Action Plan were identified and a resolution to formulate a Long Term Restoration and Conservation Plan for Inle Lake was adopted. MOECAF requested UN-Habitat to assist in formulation of the Long Term Restoration and Conservation Plan for Inle Lake and the Royal Norwegian Government kindly provided necessary financial assistance. The Team of experts engaged by UN-Habitat identified the main causes, both natural and human induced, that have impacted adversely on the Lake and its environment. Fall out of climatic variations, irresponsible clearing of soil cover, various forms of change in land use patterns in the Watershed areas caused widespread soil erosion, resulting in heavy loads of sediment entering the main feeder streams and ultimately into the Lake, causing it to become very much smaller in size and shallower in depth.

  • Recent Discovery of the Proterozoic Metasediments in the Shwepahto
    Dagon University Research Journal 2020, Vol. 11 247 Recent Discovery of the Proterozoic Metasediments in the Shwepahto Area, Pindaya Township, Southern Shan State, Myanmar Mi Paik1, Kyi Kyi Maw2, Aye Ko Aung3, Yu War Chaw4, Aung Zaw Set5 1 [email protected] Abstract The Shwepahto area is located at the southeastern part of the Pindaya range, Pindaya Township, Southern Shan State. The present study mainly deals with the lithology and petrography of the Chaung Magyi Group and also discusses on their paleotectonic environment. This is first to report the occurrence of the Chaung Magyi metasediments in eastern part of the Pindaya range. It is well exposed along the road between Panzit and Kyangyinbyaung villages. On the lithology basis, it can be correlated with the Chaung Magyi Group of the other areas such as northeastern part of Mandalay- north of Sedawgyi, Yeywa, the area between Myogyi-Sakangyi, on the Hanmyinmo-Ywangan road, Yechanpyin, and western part of Hsinmango hill in Ywangan Township. In the present area, the Chaung Magyi Group consists of slate (pyritiferous), sandy phyllite, talc-chlorite phyllite, metadolomite and slightly metamorphosed greywacke. Under the microscope, the two units, slate and sandy phyllite show fairly deformed characters. The Chaung Magyi rocks, being very old, must have undergone more than one major episode of deformation. These rocks have been subjected to mainly low grade metamorphism (greenschist facies) as indicated by the development of mostly slates and phyllites. The rocks in the area are running nearly N-S in direction and giving southwest dipping. The quartzofeldspathic veins occur frequently. The unit co-occurs with the volcanic ash, which is presumably the same age of the Chaung Magyi Group.

  • Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2005 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 8, 2006
    Burma Page 1 of 24 2005 Human Rights Report Released | Daily Press Briefing | Other News... Burma Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2005 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 8, 2006 Since 1962, Burma, with an estimated population of more than 52 million, has been ruled by a succession of highly authoritarian military regimes dominated by the majority Burman ethnic group. The current controlling military regime, the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC), led by Senior General Than Shwe, is the country's de facto government, with subordinate Peace and Development Councils ruling by decree at the division, state, city, township, ward, and village levels. In 1990 prodemocracy parties won more than 80 percent of the seats in a generally free and fair parliamentary election, but the junta refused to recognize the results. Twice during the year, the SPDC convened the National Convention (NC) as part of its purported "Seven-Step Road Map to Democracy." The NC, designed to produce a new constitution, excluded the largest opposition parties and did not allow free debate. The military government totally controlled the country's armed forces, excluding a few active insurgent groups. The government's human rights record worsened during the year, and the government continued to commit numerous serious abuses. The following human rights abuses were reported: abridgement of the right to change the government extrajudicial killings, including custodial deaths disappearances rape, torture, and beatings of

  • Update by the Shan Human Rights Foundation March 27, 2020 Burma
    Update by the Shan Human Rights Foundation March 27, 2020 Burma Army troops shell indiscriminately, loot property, use forced labor during large-scale operation against NCA signatory RCSS/SSA in Mong Kung Since February 27, 2020, about 1,500 Burma Army troops from nine battalions have carried out an operation in Mong Kung, central Shan State, to seize and occupy a mountaintop camp of the Restoration Council of Shan State/Shan State Army (RCSS/SSA). Indiscriminate shelling and shooting forced about 800 villagers to flee their homes, after which troops looted their property. 17 villages have been forced to provide bamboo to the Burma Army to fortify the camp seized from RCSS/SSA. The operation was authorized at the highest level, involving nine battalions from three regional commands: Light Infantry Battalions (LIB) 520, 574, 575 from the Taunggyi-based Eastern Command; LIB 136, LIB 325, IB 22, IB 33 from the Lashio-based Northeastern Command; and LIB 246, 525 from the Kho Lam-based Eastern Central Command. The camp seized from the RCSS/SSA lies on the strategic mountaintop of Loi Don, between Mong Kung, Ke See and Hsipaw townships. One year ago, in March 2019, the Burma Army launched a similar attack to seize the Pang Kha mountain base of the Shan State Progress Party/Shan State Army (SSPP/SSA), about 10 kilometers north of Loi Don. This is despite the fact that both Shan armies have bilateral ceasefire agreements with the government, and the RCSS/SSA has signed the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA). The Burma Army’s brazen violation of existing ceasefires, in order to expand their military infrastructure in Shan State, shows their clear insincerity towards the peace process.

  • Fact Book of Political Parties in Myanmar
    Myanmar Development Research (MDR) (Present) Enlightened Myanmar Research (EMR) Wing (3), Room (A-305) Thitsar Garden Housing. 3 Street , 8 Quarter. South Okkalarpa Township. Yangon, Myanmar +951 562439 Acknowledgement of Myanmar Development Research This edition of the “Fact Book of Political Parties in Myanmar (2010-2012)” is the first published collection of facts and information of political parties which legally registered at the Union Election Commission since the pre-election period of Myanmar’s milestone 2010 election and the post-election period of the 2012 by-elections. This publication is also an important milestone for Myanmar Development Research (MDR) as it is the organization’s first project that was conducted directly in response to the needs of civil society and different stakeholders who have been putting efforts in the process of the political transition of Myanmar towards a peaceful and developed democratic society. We would like to thank our supporters who made this project possible and those who worked hard from the beginning to the end of publication and launching ceremony. In particular: (1) Heinrich B�ll Stiftung (Southeast Asia) for their support of the project and for providing funding to publish “Fact Book of Political Parties in Myanmar (2010-2012)”. (2) Party leaders, the elected MPs, record keepers of the 56 parties in this book who lent their valuable time to contribute to the project, given the limited time frame and other challenges such as technical and communication problems. (3) The Chairperson of the Union Election Commission and all the members of the Commission for their advice and contributions.
