The Burmese military junta announced a new ceasefire until May 31 in the conflict with ethnic and pro-democracy guerrillas. This decision aims primarily to continue reconstruction efforts following the devastating earthquake that struck the country at the end of March.
According to the official statement, the Tatmadaw, the name of the Burmese Army, has decided to implement this ceasefire to facilitate the reconstruction and recovery efforts in the areas affected by the earthquake. This measure seeks to provide a climate of greater stability that allows progress in the recovery of the impacted areas.
"The Army (Tatmadaw) has declared a ceasefire until May 31 to allow reconstruction efforts in the areas affected by the earthquake," the official statement from the military junta stated. This decision is an important step to ensure the necessary support for the affected communities and to accelerate the reconstruction of infrastructure damaged by the natural disaster.
The population of Burma has faced a critical situation following the impact of the earthquake, so this ceasefire is seen as an opportunity to advance recovery and restore normalcy in the hit areas. The international community has expressed its support for this initiative and urged all parties involved to respect the ceasefire for the sake of reconstruction and peace in the region.
