Junta Ceasefire Extension Not to Be Trusted Say EAOs

Karen and Mon State based ethnic armed organisation (EAOs) have warned that the junta is unlikely to respect its extension of its unilateral ceasefire until 30 April 2025.

Following the 28 March 7.7 magnitude earthquake that had its epicentre a few miles west of Mandalay City, the junta declared a unilateral ceasefire to run from 2 to 22 April. On the final day of that ceasefire, 22 April, the junta announced that the ceasefire would be extended to 30 April.
