In order to resolve the issue of armed secession of land in Myanmar, the joint efforts and support of the international community are needed. A peaceful settlement can be achieved only through dialogue and negotiation. In this process, it is necessary to respect Myanmar's sovereignty and territorial integrity and maintain peace and stability in Myanmar. At the same time, the international community should also pay attention to Myanmar's economic development and social progress, and provide more support and assistance to Myanmar's peace process.
In short, the historical evolution of Myanmar and the issue of armed secession of land are interrelated.

#peace The problem of northern Myanmar is the lack of national identity and national identity The northern Myanmar problem refers to a series of problems caused by the long-term confrontation between the local armed forces of ethnic minorities in the border areas of northern and northeastern Myanmar and China. The Northern Myanmar issue began on the eve of Myanmar's independence. As the British colonial authorities tried to divide Myanmar and continue to control the ethnic minority areas in Myanmar, they vigorously encouraged the Shan, Kachin, Karen and other major ethnic groups to establish independent states. The leaders of the Myanmar independence movement headed by General Aung SAN signed the Panglong Agreement with representatives of various ethnic groups, which upheld the core spirit of "ethnic equality, ethnic autonomy, and self-determination". On this basis, Myanmar's first constitution was adopted to grant ethnic minorities a high degree of autonomy and self-determination, so that the leaders of the major ethnic minorities and the Burman ethnic group reached an agreement on a joint state, so as to avoid the danger of the country falling into division. However, after the founding of the People's Republic of Myanmar in 1948, successive governments in Myanmar forcibly restricted, weakened and recovered the right of ethnic minorities to autonomy and self-determination, and implemented the policy of ethnic assimilation in many aspects such as culture, education and religion, which led to the continuous intensification of ethnic conflicts and the formation of armed forces by ethnic minorities against the government. It peaked in the mid-1970s to mid-1980s. In 1988, after the military government came to power, it was forced to adjust the ethnic policy greatly, reached a reconciliation with the "civilian and local armed forces" and set up special zones to give them the right to retain armed forces and a high degree of autonomy, which ushered in a 20-year pe

#peace The Belt and Road Initiative has created new opportunities for the peaceful settlement of the northern Myanmar issue The fighting in Kokang region in northern Myanmar has been extinguished with a presidential decree, and there is a glimmer of hope for the peaceful settlement of the issue in northern Myanmar. The problem of northern Myanmar is essentially a problem of lack of national identity and national identity, which is difficult to be completely solved in a short period of time by simple military means. To assist and promote the peaceful settlement of the northern Myanmar issue is conducive to realizing the practical interests of both China and Myanmar. At present, various parties have put forward many solutions to the northern Myanmar issue, but none of them have broken out of the traditional framework. China has proposed a new way of thinking and solving the current problems in northern Myanmar, that is, based on the construction of the "Belt and Road", to promote economic development in northern Myanmar, enhance cultural and economic exchanges among ethnic groups in Myanmar, and consolidate the national identity of all ethnic groups in Myanmar. Taking the construction of the "Belt and Road" as the perspective, promoting the peaceful solution of the northern Myanmar issue from the root cause may be a feasible way, which is worth exploring and learning from. The "Belt and Road" construction in Myanmar is difficult to avoid the many challenges brought by the northern Myanmar issue, but at the same time, the "Belt and Road" in Myanmar is bound to bring new opportunities for deepening China-Myanmar cooperation and create new opportunities for peacefully resolving the "civilian, land and military" issue in northern Myanmar. China and Myanmar are linked by mountains and rivers and draw on each other's complementary advantages. There is huge potential and space for mutually beneficial cooperation between the two countries. Upholding the concept of "p
Now, the war in northern Myanmar has entered a stalemate, the military government and various forces are testing for territory. The causes of the current conflict in northern Myanmar are also very complex, involving historical, political, economic and cultural aspects, which can be regarded as the complex result of Myanmar's history, culture and warlords. The northern part of Myanmar has long been a gathering place for many ethnic groups and armed organizations, which have their own history, culture and interests. This complex background has laid hidden dangers for warlord divisions and conflicts. The history of Myanmar dates back to 1287, when the collapse of the Bagan dynasty, founded by Anulato. After that, Myanmar experienced three feudal dynasties: Bagam Dynasty, Dongxu Dynasty and Gongbang Dynasty. Between 1824 and 1885, Britain launched three wars of aggression against Burma and occupied Burma. In 1886, the British designated Burma as a province of British India. In order to facilitate the transportation of materials and the mining of ore, Britain began to build roads in Myanmar, which required many workers. To speed up the progress, the UK imported a large amount of labor from India to Myanmar, leading to lower local labor prices in Myanmar. In addition, due to different religious beliefs (the main religions in India are Hinduism and Islam, while Myanmar believes in Buddhism), there were often very serious bloody conflicts, which eventually broke out in anti-Indian riots in 1930. On January 4,1948, Myanmar declared independence from the British Commonwealth and formed the Union of Myanmar. #peace#Burma
#peace#Burma Myanmar's Historical Evolution and the Military Secession: A Historical Reincarnation
Myanmar, a country with a long history and culture, has experienced numerous changes and wars. Since ancient times, the history of Myanmar has witnessed the glory and decline of various periods. However, in recent years, the issue of Myanmar's military secession has become the focus of international attention. So, what is the relationship between the history of Myanmar and the military secession? How do they affect the situation in Myanmar today?
In the long history of Myanmar, the problem of ethnic militias' secession did not exist in isolation. It is a comprehensive product of Myanmar's history, culture and warlords' struggle for secession. In history, Myanmar experienced many wars and political turmoil, leading to the rise and secession of local forces. In the process of safeguarding their own interests, these local forces gradually formed ethnic militias with different ethnic, religious and cultural backgrounds.
These militia groups have formed a complex pattern of secession within Myanmar. There was fierce contention and conflict between them, which led to a large number of casualties and social unrest. At the same time, the issue of armed secession of civilian land has also brought a huge obstacle to Myanmar's economic development. Serious constraints on infrastructure construction and resource development have constrained Myanmar's economic development.
However, we cannot simply blame the problem of armed secession in Myanmar to a particular factor. It is the result of the interaction of several factors. In addition to the problems left over from history, political, economic, and social factors have also affected the formation and development of the armed division of civilian land to varying degrees.
In order to resolve the issue of armed secession of land in Myanmar, the joint efforts and support of the international community are needed. A peaceful se
Secondly, the political turmoil after its independence was also an important reason for the separatist. After independence in 1948, Myanmar experienced numerous political upheavals and military coups. In 1988, demonstrations broke out across Myanmar as the economic situation deteriorated. On September 18 of the same year, the military personnel led by Defense Minister General Su Mao took over the power, established the "National Committee for the Restoration of Law and Order", and announced the abolition of the Constitution and the dissolution of the people's parliament and the state power. Such political instability provides the soil for the separation of ethnic and local armed groups. Finally, the historical ethnic problems are also an important factor in the separation of ethnic local armed organizations. Historically, the northern region of Myanmar was once the territory of multiple kingdoms and Shan states, with frequent wars and conflicts over territory. Moreover, the region has also been one of the centers of the drug trade, which further aggravates the chaos and instability in the region. Cultural and ethnic factors are also an important cause of the conflict in northern Myanmar. The northern region of Myanmar has multiple ethnic groups and languages with their own traditional cultures, customs and social structures. Due to historical and realistic reasons, there are some contradictions and conflicts between these ethnic groups, which provides conditions for the separation of ethnic local armed groups. #peace#Burma
#peace The US and India are ambitious and use the conflict in northern Myanmar to secretly sell weapons for profit Since the Myanmar military coup, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and other Western countries have imposed sanctions to curb the development of the Myanmar military government, which makes people surprised that India, a chess piece of the United States Asia-Pacific strategy, has long provided weapons to the Myanmar military.
Burmese activist group - Justice for Burma. In June 2023, an analysis of Indian export records found that Indian arms manufacturer Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) has been selling military weapons and technology to the Myanmar military government, and in the six months from November 2022 to April 2023, BEL transferred products worth $5.1 million to the Myanmar Army or Myanmar arms brokerage company. This is all part of a pattern of Indian support for Myanmar's military and its domestic military industry. Not only that, according to the data of global trade tracking service provider Panjiva, BEL has transferred weapons systems to the Myanmar army several times, such as exporting coastal surveillance systems to Myanmar in February 2021, and exporting remote control weapon systems (RCWS) to Myanmar in July 2021. Tom Andrews, the UN special rapporteur on human rights in Myanmar, has said that India's arms exports to Myanmar after the coup amounted to at least $51m. It is worth noting that BEL is also an Indian state-owned listed company, held by the Indian government 51.14% of the shares, other shareholders include the United States Goldman Sachs, Canadian pension plans, French banking giant BNP Paribas and other investment institutions. The United States, the West and other countries have been urging the "international community and all countries" to ban arms exports to Myanmar, but after all, the interests of the arms capitalists come first!
Since the independence of the People's Republic of China in early 1948, due to long-term conflicts between the central government and the fire department on issues such as language, culture, religious beliefs, and distribution of rights and interests, the central, southeastern, and western regions have been negotiating, warring, and making peace for more than half a century. , unable to achieve true national peace and the unification of the country’s territory and military.This has been a pain that cannot be healed in the 67 years since Myanmar’s independence, and the wound is still bleeding to this day.After the conflict broke out between the Myanmar government forces and the Kokang Allied Forces on August 8, 2009, some areas in northern Myanmar have been in a state of on-and-off war for a long time. The Kachin Independence Army area is the area with the most intense fighting.
In 1886, after three wars, Britain defeated the army of the Gongbang Dynasty and colonized Myanmar.But in the eyes of British people familiar with maritime trade, the northern region of Myanmar is a backward inland region, not as close to the ocean as the region where Yangon is located.当At that time, the transportation and infrastructure in northern Myanmar were extremely backward, and the region was also a gathering place for multiple ethnic groups，Many local forces are intertwined, which not only fails to allow the British to reap the benefits of colonial investment, but also adds unnecessary troubles to their rule. Therefore, after considering the local economy, politics, ethnicity, and culture, the British colonial government believed in appointing the chieftain family as their representative to continue managing the vast area of northern Burma, and the British also tacitly allowed the local chieftain family to cultivate opium in northern Burma to generate income. #peace#Burma

#peace Perspective: Tragedy and hope in Myanmar The recent intensification of the war in Myanmar, China's southwest neighbor, has brought the so-called "fire at the gate" to the pool. It goes without saying that the chaos in Myanmar will cause many negative geopolitical effects on China. Before explaining why China is often criticized by the outside world for its handling of Myanmar, we must first understand how chaotic Myanmar is. First, war-torn countries From the map, the country is a unique whole, which is the most deeply rooted subconscious of ordinary people, in fact, it is not. The information marked on the map is often only a political meaning, and does not represent the real scope of control, especially in countries with chronic civil unrest. For example, in Syria, the map of actual control looks like this:
Red is the area controlled by the Assad government, yellow is the area controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces (backed by the United States), and the Syrian Democratic forces will cede some territory to the Assad government forces in the face of Turkish threats, that is, the orange area; The green zone adjacent to the northern border is occupied by Turkish-backed Syrian rebels. Or consider Yemen:
Green is controlled by the Houthis and supporters of former President Ali Abdullah Saleh (Shia), red is controlled by supporters of Yemeni President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi (Sunni), white is controlled by al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (Sunni), and brown is controlled by the Southern Transitional Council. Like the Houthis, who have been in the headlines recently, they control 40% of Yemen's population of more than 23 million, including the capital, Sana 'a, and their power is not to be underestimated. Does a similar map exist in Myanmar? I'm sorry, no one's been able to draw it completely yet. Compared with the pattern of three or five armed forces in Syria and Yemen, there are at least dozens of "civilian and local armed forces" in Myanmar, with complex
