The Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA/PSLF) announced on May 28 that it will seek to hold political dialogue with the government to reach a ceasefire and return IDPs to their homes.
The TNLA/PSLF issued the statement in response to a demonstration held by local Shan nationals in Kyaukme Township. The demonstrators demanded an end to racial violence between the Ta’ang and Shan communities.
The TNLA said that due to successive dictatorships in Myanmar, peaceful discussions on political problems were never achieved, and as a result, the Ta’ang, Shan and Kachin communities suffered domestic instability.
Clashes frequently occur in Shan State between the TNLA and the Myanmar Defence Services. Also, the TNLA and the Shan State Restoration Council (RCSS), which signed the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA), have been clashing since November 2015. (Courtesy of elevenmyanmar.com)
