Despite the agreement reached between the GoM and KIO, there has been a series of fighting between Burmese troops and the KIA troops recently on a daily basis in KIA’s 4th bridge area. The agreement point 2(b) stated that “the parties agree to undertake efforts to achieve de-escalation and cessation of hostilities”.
