After nearly a year of deadly conflict between the Burmese military junta that overthrew the government and citizen protesters and rebel insurgent groups, Burmese junta leader General Min Aung Hlaing has declared a ceasefire in Myanmar after meeting with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen. The Prime Minister met with the junta leader on Friday after months of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations trying to send an envoy to negotiate peace in the troubled country. As the leader of the National Administrative Council that is holding control in Myanmar now, Min Aung Hlaing said that he had arranged a 5-month […]

Ahh let’s give Hun Sen a Nobel Peace Prize and in the time being the Myanmar Junta A**wipe Bully will be able to stockpile a lot of funds from raping the country more.

We need to hear that “ceasefire” directly from the EAO not this murderous tyrant goblin. Such a long ceasefire is of little benefit to the rebels unless they are given autonomy and freedom. Otherwise it just gives time for the govt. murder machine to regroup and rearm for a fresh offensive later at their convenience.

"Min Aung Hlaing said that he had arranged a 5-month ceasefire with the Ethnic Armed Organizations aligned against them, set to expire next month. But he agreed to now extend that ceasefire until the end of 2022."

Apparently we had a ceasefire for the last 4 months. So this ceasefire is 4+12 or a 16 months one (or 4 + next 11 months until year end, 15 months)?

A ceasefire is for some temporary issue, the article hints it may be COVID related. Both sides will regroup, no doubt. Who benefits more remains to be seen. 

The British and others have been accused of having "murder machines" from time to time. 

Being free and automous doesn't mean you are not also a killer. The Rohingya had some complaints iirc - something about genocide. But those are the good guys, right?

covid related, our soliders got a sore throat and are currently unable to murder their own people

That means they are losing militarily and politically, and they want a pause while they work out the best way to crush the opposition militarily and 'win' politically. Dissidents should keep going - and I hope that they do not ever stop until the Junta is removed, arrested, charged, tried, jailed and executed.  If anyone does not realise how serious this is, then re-read that last sentence. The Junta has committed many documented war crimes and genocide - their actions are already being reviewed and will be investigated by the UN war crimes commission. Just like previous murdering despots, they will eventually have to pay for their war crimes and genocide one way or the other.

The Burmese people know very well who are the criminals and mass murderers and they have enough observersers and it is is very well documented including from the UN and the official Burmese representive. What is your intention here to write such nonsense?! 

[Stardust]

His pants are burning because the Burmese people are against him and will defend themself against this gangsters, mass murders and illegal Junta government. Too many defence forces now and the whole country is against this low life criminals from the Junta.

[Pinetree]

Oh good, they are stopping killing their own people for 12 months, such humanity.

Exactly and even made a plot on an official UN body on American soil what makes them also to terrorists.

I wondered what they called it when they were bombing civilians near the Thai border a few weeks ago that had thousands crossing the border to Thailand. It's called a "5 month ceasefire".

You learn something new everyday.

Struggle clearly between the ruling genocidal Burman Tribe and the oppressed Karen / Mon Hill Tribes. Burmese Army over last 40 years amongst the most evil genocidal killing machines in history. Rohingya, Hill Tribes.

British have zero history of systematic murder or genocide.

Here's a non-paywalled version of the NYTs article:

https://www.todayonline.com/commentary/did-world-get-aung-san-suu-kyi-wrong

Here's an article on something called The Boer War https://allthatsinteresting.com/boer-war 

But it was the Amritsar massacre I was referring to:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jallianwala_Bagh_massacre

But I'm not anti British, God save the Queen.

I'm just saying it's easy to make snap judgements and it's not always easy to see who is "good". 

[oldschooler]

 Right . It’s so Difficult for rational adults to see that Totalitarian Armies are Systematically Evil and Democratic Militaries are Not ….. the few regrettable but Isolated  non- systemic examples of UK military excess actually prove this.

That's how the process operates in the region. 

They flock together.

So these murderous thugs generously propose a cease fire. They are mass murdering criminals and should be on an international arrest warrant to face justice for the atrocities they committed. Like with terrorists there should be no negotiations with them and no save haven if they would decide to leave behind the mayhem they created.

UN wants these systematic murdering lunatics up on Genocide charges.

ALL the many north -east Burma minority Hill Tribes like Mon & Karen have been severely persecuted for 70 years since independence. They have formed two military alliances and finally seem to be winning in the field.

An estimated 2,380 Myanmar junta soldiers were killed and around 600 wounded during the last month, according to the parallel National Unity Government.

Between Dec. 7 and Jan. 6, 1,077 blasts and attacks targeting junta forces were reported across the country, except in Rakhine State.

Yet we hear of the 1400 NUG  rebels killed so far in all reports.

 

[Paulw]

How can you trust someone who is directly responsible for murdering so many Burmese citizens, personally I hope the tribesman country wide unite and wipe this A----wipe and his generals off the planet!!! 

Where is the proof that the elections were rigged?? he just wants to be in control and will rape & pillage as he sees fit. Any aid money sent to Myanmar should never be under his control!! 

[oldschooler]

Rebels Need to Improve that 2to 1 kill rate. Start mortaring army barracks and police stations if not already. Really like to think Burma “army” soon getting chopped to pieces like in the Rambo 4 movie ……
