"After seven rounds of talks
between armed
ethnic groups and the Thein Sein
Government, progress
was finally
achieved
on 31 March 2015 with the
signing of the Draft Nationwide Ceasefire
agreement. While there is still a long way to
go in securing an equal and stable Burma,
the finalisation of a
draft
Nationwide
Ceasefire Agreement text
was
a
fundamental step in satisfying ethnic
group?s demands for a genuine federal
union.
The signing,
which took place in Rangoon,
was the culmination of talks that have
lasted over
seventeen months
and have
seen armed ethnic groups
through the
NCCT, the
Union Peace Working
Committee (UPWC)
led by U Aung Min,
and the Myanmar Peace Centre (MPC)
debate the various conditions necessary
to bring about a nationwide ceasefire.
While the signing, with the endorsement of
the President, is the most positive step yet
?
there remain a number of issues to be
addressed including ongoing conflict in
Kachin State, Shan State, and the
Kokang
region.
The
draft Nationwide Ceasefire
Agreement (NCA)
is
only
the first stage in a
lengthy process that hopes
to bring peace
to the country.
One of the main issues that needed to be
clarified prior to the signing was
chapter six
of the agreement,
entitled
the Interim
period. The interim arrangement involves
how both parties will act after a ceasefire
has been put in place and during the
political dialogue phase..."
