DPNS published a report on the crisis of Burma's politics of ceased-fires

16 September 2011

An analytical report in Burmese titled ‘Profound Crisis between Burma’s newly-set government and ethnic nationalities’ is produced by the Research and Study Centre of Democratic Party for a New Society (DPNS).  The report made an analysis on the unique situation of Burma’s politics of ceased-fires lasting more than 20 years between the military regime and various ethnic armed resistant movements.  It argues that facade talks that overlook meaningful political dialogues will not stop the outbreaks of civil war nor ongoing fighting between the military regime and ethnic forces in Burma.

This 145-page report composed of 16 chapters details the context of ceased-fire politics between the military regime and ethnic armed groups which have been since 1989 and the regime’s strategy of divide-and-rule in setting terms of agreements with different armed groups.  Besides, it discusses the regime’s attitudes and behaviours in this politics of over 20 years.

This report in electronic version can be read and downloaded at the DPNS webpage in Burmese (http://www.dpnsburmese.org/?p=2346).
