"...In summary, the return of the MNDAA to
the Kokang region is a result of the failed
policies of the past and set in motion a series
of unprecedented events. These include
a deterioration in relations with China
which, as a result, has become more focal
in Myanmar?s peace process, and a hastily-
arranged ethnic summit at the headquarters
of the UWSA, the country?s largest armed
opposition group, which until now had shied
away from becoming involved in alliance
political affairs.
The renewed hostilities have also negatively
impacted on prospects for the signing of a
nationwide ceasefire agreement. Excluding
some groups from an NCA and future
political dialogue is a high-risk strategy. It
will continue divisive, and unsuccessful,
practices from the past whereby some
nationality forces have ceasefires with the
government, while the Tatmadaw pursues
military tactics against others. As Myanmar?s
tragic experience since independence has
frequently warned, conflict in any part of
the country can quickly lead to national
instability. Therefore, at a time of critical political
transition in the country, failure to address
the root causes of armed conflict and to
create an inclusive political process to solve
nationality grievances is only likely to have
a very detrimental impact on the prospects
for peace, democracy and development. If
the government is serious and determined
to bring peace to all Myanmar?s peoples,
military solutions to ethnic conflict must no
longer be pursued, and an inclusive political
dialogue should start as soon as possible.
Experiences from other countries entangled
in decades of civil war around the world have
long shown that ceasefires are not a necessary
precondition to start political negotiations.
Peace in Myanmar needs to move from
arguments about process to agreements about
delivery. In short, it is time to end military
confrontation and to start political dialogue."
