Myriad armed rebel groups control an estimated one-third of Myanmar's territory, some fighting for decades against the state for more autonomy. When the military seized power on Monday following a coup, the army announced a ceasefire with the ethnic armed groups to extend until the end of February. The army said it would continue to discuss the peace process with some insurgent groups in the border regions, the details of which Suu Kyi's government had spent years negotiating. But the military's overture for talks was met with scepticism by some rebel groups. "How can we discuss with them when they staged a coup? This is not the norms of democracy," said Major Kharm Sarm, a spokesperson for the Restoration Council of Shan State (RCSS) in Myanmar's north. He said it would be impossible to hold a political dialogue without a democratically elected government. "Among the political parties and the ethnic armed groups, we have lost trust in them." The Karen National Union (KNU), an ethnic armed organisation in the southwestern Karen state, said Tuesday in a statement it was "worried and concerned for Myanmar's future". The army's actions "show no seriousness over solving the political crisis", it said. "It will badly harm the future of the country, which already has many challenges," said the KNU, urging a peaceful solution and calling for Suu Kyi's release. © AFP http://www.mizzima.com/article/ethnic-armed-groups-condemn-myanmar-militarys-coup -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ethnic Parties Peace Team (PPST) condemns the coup, calls for peaceful solutions and appeals for support from the UN Wednesday, February 03, 2021 | by - Saw Thonya (NMG) The Peace Process Steering Team (PSST), a group consisting of ethnic armed organizations (EAOs) that have signed the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA), held a special meeting on the current political situation in the country. Page 2 of 40 The PPST meeting in pursuit of national reconciliation and building federal union concluded with common positions on the current political situation and peace process after a thorough discussion. The PPST Statement: 1).We condemn the Myanmar military’s way of addressing the current political crisis by carrying out a coup d’état. 2).We demand the immediate and unconditional release of all leaders who are detained and arrested. 3).We urge the resolution of political problems by peaceful means and negotiation, rather than by force of arms. 4.) We stand firm on the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA) and act accordingly regarding the peace process. 5.) We call for the unconditional declaration of nationwide ceasefire. 6.) We will collaborate with the public in seeking solutions, as we are aware of the difficulties faced by the people by the coup as well as the global pandemic (COVID-19). 7.) We call on the support of the international community including the UN in resolving the current crisis. PPST spokesperson Col Khun Okkar said: “The main point is we don’t accept solving the current political crisis by force of arms. We stick to the policy of solving the political problem by political means. We call for unconditional release of the detained leaders and solving the problems by peaceful means.” “We will cooperate with the people in the country, and need the support of the international community to find a solution. We will continue to support the peace process according to the NCA path, as we have signed the NCA. We should not halt the peace process,” he added. The ten NCA signatories are: the Karen National Union (KNU), the Chin National Front (CNF), the All Burma Students’ Democratic Front (ABSDF), the KNLA/PC, the Pa-O National Liberation Organisation (PNLO), the Arakan Liberation Party (ALP), the Restoration Council of Shan State (RCSS), the Democratic Karen Buddhist Army (DKBA), the New Mon State Party (NMSP) and the Lahu Democratic Union (LDU). https://www.bnionline.net/en/news/ethnic-parties-peace-team-ppst-condemns-coup-calls- peaceful-solutions-and-appeals-support-un ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 3 of 40 Parties Call on Myanmar Military to Accept Election Results By Nan Lwin Hnin Pwint | 3 February 2021 Yangon — Political parties say they want Myanmar’s military not to hold a new election but to accept the result of the 2020 general election. After seizing power in a coup on Monday on the pretext of electoral fraud in the November election that brought a landslide victory to the National League for Democracy (NLD), the Tatmadaw (military) declared a state of emergency for a year followed by a new election with the military handing power to the winner. “Regarding another election, I want [the Tatmadaw] to thoroughly review the 2020 general election. I want it to accept the results,” said Aik Mong, chairman of the Ta’ang National Party, which won five seats in the Union Parliament and seven seats in the Shan State parliament. Nai San Tin of the Mon Unity Party, which won five Union seats and six Mon State seats, expressed doubts about whether the military would hand over power. “We don’t know how far the military will go in its takeover. I think it is unlikely that it will hold another election in a year and hand power to the winner,” he said. Theh Reh, general secretary of the Kayah State Democratic Party, which won five Union seats and three Kayah State seats, suggested reviewing results in constituencies where there were alleged irregularities rather than holding a nationwide election. “It is costly and both the people and election organizers will be too tired to hold a new general election across the country. It would be better to review the election and take legal action in constituencies where there was fraud and then think about how to form the government,” he said. The party condemns the military’s coup on the pretext of electoral fraud, said Theh Reh, urging the Tatmadaw to solve issues through talks with the NLD. The NLD, which won over 83 percent of the vote, released a statement calling for the release of all the detainees, including President U Win Myint and State Counselor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, and recognize the general election results, which the Union Election Commission (UEC) had confirmed.
