Myanmar rebels sign ceasefire with military after China-mediated talks
The Ta'ang National Liberation Army agreed to withdraw from key towns after China-mediated talks, ending intense fighting and allowing Myanmar’s military to regain control before elections.
- On Wednesday, the Ta'ang National Liberation Army signed a ceasefire with Myanmar's military after China-mediated talks in Kunming, agreeing to withdraw troops from Mogok and Momeik.
- China, concerned about instability along its border, mediated the Kunming talks as Beijing sought to stabilize its border and support Myanmar's military government regaining territory before elections scheduled to start Dec. 28.
- Before the ceasefire, the Ta'ang National Liberation Army returned Nawnghkio, Kyaukme and Hsipaw to the army after seizing 12 towns; it is part of the Three Brotherhood Alliance.
- The military agreed to halt ground offensives and airstrikes in return for withdrawal, but Myanmar's military government did not immediately comment on the ceasefire ahead of elections scheduled to start Dec. 28.
- Longstanding rebel campaigns and alliances shape the conflict's trajectory as the Ta'ang National Liberation Army and allies have fought for decades for autonomy, while China-brokered ceasefires earlier this year helped the army retake Lashio, Nawnghkio, Kyaukme, and Hsipaw.
