Ready for Negotiations: PSLF/TNLA Addresses Military Conflicts
On November 25, the Palaung National Liberation Front/Taang National Liberation Army (PSLF/TNLA) issued a statement that it was ready to hold talks to end the military conflict between the two sides in recognition of the Chinese government’s efforts to support the people affected by the war, to stabilize the border region and intervene in the cessation of hostilities.
After the 1027 operation of the three northern alliances, the SAC-Myanmar military targeted the people in the areas that were surrendered, and the innocent people suffering severely from the war due to the air strikes. With the sympathy of the civilians who were affected severely due to the conflict, we were always ready to discuss and find solutions to solve problems by upholding the right to self-defense.
