KIO Central Committee Statement,

The KIO Central Committee met with close to 150 civilian leaders and representatives at Laiza during July 12-13; the purpose was to ask what the Kachin people would want their leaders, the KIA/KIO to do in light of the momentary ceasing of hostilities with the forces of Thein Sein's government. The response, in raw, emotional terms, was to fight on for the rights of the people. The total absence of trustworthiness on the part of the military government is fully documented in the memory of Kachin people ranging over three generations now. Calm then emerged and the following political statements were framed with eventual unanimous consent.
