🇲🇲 MYANMAR JUNTA CALLS CEASEFIRE AFTER QUAKE—BUT CAN IT BE TRUSTED?
Myanmar’s military junta has declared a temporary ceasefire until April 22 to aid rescue efforts after an earthquake killed 2,886 people and injured over 4,500, with hundreds still missing in the rebel-held Sagaing region.
The move follows days of criticism for rejecting earlier rebel ceasefire proposals, as the monsoon season threatens to deepen the crisis.
Despite the junta’s pledge, trust is thin—reports confirmed military “warning shots” at a Chinese Red Cross convoy yesterday, and leader Min Aung Hlaing claimed rebels are exploiting the disaster, justifying “necessary measures.”
This ceasefire could be a lifeline—or just another broken promise in a war that has displaced 3 million people since 2021.
