Myanmar Junta Bombs TNLA Territory After Peace Talks Fail

yanmar’s junta has targeted Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA) territory with airstrikes after Chinese-brokered ceasefire talks failed.

Peace talks organized in Kunming on April 28 and 29 failed after TNLA representatives refused to abandon five liberated towns and retreat to the Palaung’s self-administered Namhsan and Mangton townships in northern Shan State, the armed group said.

Regime representatives demanded the return of Hsipaw, Nawnghkio, Kyaukme and Mongmit towns in northern Shan State and Mogoke, a ruby town in the north of Mandalay Region.
