Myanmar’s ethnic armed groups condemned the military Tuesday for ousting Aung San Suu Kyi’s government and signalled a halt to the country’s long-running peace process, citing a lack of trust in the army. Myriad armed rebel groups control an estimated one-third of Myanmar’s territory, some fighting for decades against the state for more autonomy. When the military seized power on Monday following a coup, the army announced a ceasefire with the ethnic armed groups to extend until the end of February. The army said it would continue to discuss the peace process with some insurgent groups in the border regions, the details of which Suu Kyi’s government had spent years negotiating.
