SNLD condemns KIA forced recruitment

The Shan Nationalities League for Democracy (SNLD) has condemned the Kachin Independence Army’s detention of civilians for recruitment, demanding their release.

Civilians from Kutkai and Muse in northern Shan State were forced into joining the KIA.

“Now is a moment all of us are trying to prioritise national reconciliation. It is a politically delicate situation as power is transferred. Parties are making great efforts to hold political talks based on the nationwide ceasefire and the principles of eternal peace. It is important that people can enjoy a period of peace and tranquillity,” the statement said. (Courtesy of Eleven Myanmar)
