Aizawl, India, Apr 4 (efe-epa).- An ethnic armed group belonging to the Chin tribe, has become the latest political challenge to military rule, branding Myanmar’s 2008 constitution as void and demanded restoration of federal democratic rule in the country.
Speaking to EFE from an undisclosed location in Myanmar, Chin National Army spokesperson Salai Htet Ni said his organization will reconsider the ceasefire agreement signed with the Myanmar government.
“We cannot stand by and do nothing if the military junta’s forces continue to kill protesters, we will stand with the dreams and demands of the people of Myanmar till the end,” said Salai Htet Ni, who also holds the rank of assistant secretary-general of the Chin National Front.
