Laiza-The ethnic leaders of the Nationwide Ceasefire Coordination Team (NCCT) already completed the discussion of four chapters contained in the ceasefire draft on the second day of the ethnic conference held on July 26.
Despite the complete discussion of four chapters, there still remain differences between the government and the NCCT regarding guarantees of political dialogue described in the remaining Chapter 5 and therefore we need to take time to justify different matters, the NCCT said.
“The Chapter 5 has much difference on guarantees of political dialogue outlined by the government and the NCCT. For that reason, we will have to take time to negotiate dissimilarities. I think it won’t be as difficult as the Chapter 1,” Dr. Salai Lian Hmung said.
The meeting of the leading committee formed with 16 leaders of the NCCT-member was scheduled on July 25.
“We already finished the discussion of the entire four chapters. The leading committee’s meeting is scheduled on July 27. The meeting would focus especially on “two words”, that is, the first word means “ceasefire” and the second means “skirmish”,” Khu Oo Yal, the secretary of the KNPP.
“Today’s discussion is very successful. We discussed detailed points of troop deployments. Worrisome points can be discussed in details,” Dr. Salai Lian Hmung said.
It was learnt that the basic principles prescribed in the Chapter 1 and the Chapter 5 were the most difficult to negotiate in drawing up the ceasefire draft between the Union Peacemaking Work Committee (UPWC) and the NCCT.
The ceasefire draft written by the UPWC and the NCCT consists of seven chapters—basic principles, objectives and aims, ceasefire matters, ways of strengthening the ceasefire, guarantees of political dialogue, future tasks and general provisions—.
