MNDAA Ceasefire Will Not Hold in Northern Myanmar: China Analyst: Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) on September 4 called for China’s mediation in Myanmar’s conflicts and said it would not cooperate with the civilian National Unity Government (NUG).

Despite the statement, the regime continued bombing raids on the northern Shan State capital, Lashio, killing civilians and damaging property.

Why has regime kept bombing Lashio, despite MNDAA’s proposal of talks with mediation by China’s?.?.

MNDAA knows that regime will not stop fighting. So MNDAA issued the statement. It has stated that it would stop fighting immediately but retains right to self-defense, good that regime carried out attacks be'cos it lets the MNDAA fight back.
I heard junta wants Lashio back. MNDAA can’t give it back. So said it has no ties to the NUG. The ceasefire will not happen will continue to fight.
