Description:
"Soldiers explained that mutual respect between all parties is
needed for the peace process to be successful. Mutual respect was
often mentioned in relation to the need for adherence to ceasefire
agreements, reports of breaches to ceasefire agreements and
concerns about the sincerity of the peace process.
Generally, foot soldiers identified the need for all parties to respect
the terms and conditions of agreements equally. Soldiers expressed a
desire to create stronger links between what is discussed and agreed
upon in peace/ceasefire agreements and implementation. Specific
points of contention included soldiers carrying arms outside of their
demarcated territory when agreements restricted this movement.
Soldiers voiced a need for Tatmadaw soldiers to ask permission before
entering their territory. One KNU soldier expressed: ?Tatmadaw
soldiers bring arms when they come into our regions. Don?t we have
the right to hold arms? We follow the rules”..."
