We have already decided it,” Col Sai Nguen, a spokesperson from an implementation working team of the Peace Process Steering Team (PPST), told media outlets, referring to the EAOs outside of the NCA. “As a first step, we will definitely invite them to a framework preparation meeting. I think it will be a starting point.” Col Sai Nguen made the statement during a press conference following a two-day PPST meeting from January 17-18. The preparation meeting will be held after a meeting of working teams made up of NCA- signatory EAOs, the government, and the Burmese military. Col Sai Nguen speculated that this could be held at the end of January. “We are going to hold a meeting as soon as possible. It depends on negotiations. After we approve the framework, we can move forward with the national level political dialogue and other processes. So it will be a starting point to open the path,” he explained at the press conference. The PPST said that the peace process framework preparation meeting would take place before the convening of the fourth session of the Union Peace Conference (UPC) in late April. PPST spokesperson Than Khe said that everyone affected should be involved in approving the framework for the UPC. “To seek a workable framework, we have a responsibility as well as the government and Tatmadaw. Non-NCA EAOs have responsibility for it. It will depend on negotiations between all stakeholders,” Than Khe told NMG. The PPST reportedly decided on five points during their recent meeting, one of which was to invite non-signatory EAOs to the upcoming framework preparation meeting. Other points included major issues of discussion in the UPC. It will be discussed further in the working teams meeting, tentatively scheduled for January 28. Leaders of the 10 NCA-signatory EAOs attended the eight PPST meeting in Chiang Mai, Thailand. They include the All Burma Students Democratic Front, Arakan Liberation Party, Page 3 of 73 Chin National Front, Democratic Karen Benevolent Army, Karen National Liberation Army- Peace Council, Karen National Union, New Mon State Party, Lahu Democratic Union, Pa-O National Liberation Organization, and the Restoration Council of Shan State. http://www.nmg-news.com/2020/01/20/9827 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Myanmar’s National Dialogue Must Be for All NCA Signatories Ahead of Peace Summit, EAOs Say By Nyein Nyein | 20 January 2020 Delegates attend the 21st-century Panglong peace conference in September 2016 in Naypyitaw. / The Irrawaddy Organizing a national-level political dialogue before the next peace conference will be one of the key issues to discuss during next week’s meeting between the government and the ethnic armed organizations (EAOs) that signed the nationwide ceasefire agreement (NCA). The national dialogue began in 2017 but not all the signatories were able to convene. These included the Restoration Council of Shan State (RCSS) because of objections from the Tatmadaw (military) about the location and the Arakan Liberation Party (ALP) in Rakhine State, citing security concerns. The RCSS and ALP were missing from the dialogue in 2017 and 2018 and their input was therefore missing from the process to establish a federation. With the formal peace process stalled, the national political dialogue has been abandoned for nearly two years. Sai Ngern, the head of the EAOs’ negotiation team on the political dialogue framework and a secretary of the RCSS, said every NCA signatory “must be able to organize the national- level political dialogue under a new framework”. “We tentatively plan it to be able to hold talks in late March. It will be on the agenda of the talks with the government on Jan. 28-29,” he told reporters after the 10 NCA signatories’ Peace Process Steering Team (PPST) meeting in Chiang Mai on Saturday. He said the EAOs believed every group should organize a national-level political dialogue, as the recommendations from the consultations are passed to the Union Peace Conference (UPC) for consideration when developing federal principles.

  • The Burma Army's Offensive Against the Shan State Army
    EBO The Burma Army’s Offensive Against the Shan State Army - North ANALYSIS PAPER No. 3 2011 THE BURMA ARMY’S OFFENSIVE AGAINST THE SHAN STATE ARMY - NORTH EBO Analysis Paper No. 3/2011 On 11 November 2010, a fire fight between troops of Burma Army Light Infantry Division (LID) 33 and Battalion 24 of the Shan State Army-North (SSA-N) 1st Brigade at Kunkieng-Wanlwe near the 1st Brigade’s main base, marked the beginning of the new military offensive against the ethnic armed groups in Shan and Kachin States. Tensions between the Burma Army and the ethnic groups, which had ceasefire agreements, started to mount after the Burma Army delivered an ultimatum in April 2009 for the groups to become Border Guard Forces. Prior to this, the Burma Army had always maintained that it did not have jurisdiction over political issues and that the groups could maintain their arms and negotiate with the new elected government for a political solution. Most of the larger ethnic groups refused to become BGFs, and in August 2009 the Burma Army attacked and seized control of Kokang (MNDAA), sending shock waves through the ethnic communities and the international community. Following the outcry, the Burma Army backed down and seemed content to let matters die down as it concentrated on holding the much publicized general elections on 7 November 2010. The attack against the SSA-N is seen was the first in a series of military offensives designed to fracture and ultimately destroy all armed ethnic opposition in the country’s ethnic borderlands.1 While the SSA-N lost its bases, this is unlikely to reduce its ability to conduct guerrilla operation against the Burma Army.

However, whether humanitarian operations have positively or negatively impacted Myanmar is underreported. A backlash against INGOs arose in the wake of 2012, and suspicions about misappropriation of aid resources and mismanagement of funds seem to have become more controversial after the aid agencies jumped into the Rakhine crisis under the agenda of humanitarian violations. This research is based on a literature review, relevant case study analysis, and 10 semi-structured interviews with humanitarian activists of the Myanmar Diaspora in Canada. The primary objective of this research is to investigate how humanitarian aid INGOs contextualize their work in Myanmar’s post-democracy period and to see how said work links to the challenges associated with projects in the area of ethnic conflict. Based on the findings, a culturally appropriate framework is introduced for the efficacy of Myanmar’s humanitarian aid INGOs. In this study, I argue that humanitarian aid INGOs fail to apply “outside-in thinking” in the decision-making process when implementing aid projects in Myanmar, which is a developing country with multi-rooted conflicts.
