ANP demands Rakhine ceasefire

The Arakan National Party (ANP) is urging the Rakhine State government to cooperate with Nay Pyi Taw to stop conflict raging in the state.

A statement said the ANP always wanted national reconciliation and to end civil war, while protecting the Rakhine people.

It expressed worries about fighting with the Arakan Army (AA), the rising numbers of refugees and the need for food, accommodation and health care.

The fighting hindered national reconciliation, weakened the rule of law and stability under the new government.

The National League for Democracy administration should take full responsibility not to allow the use of civilians as hostages and porters by the military, not to displace villagers and to protect civilians from losing their lives and property, the statement said. (Courtesy of Eleven Myanmar)
