Myanmar's civilian-led government of Aung San Suu Kyi has made striking a peace deal a key pillar of her administration, but fighting has instead intensified in recent months, with tens of thousands displaced by conflict. Talks to end decades of bitter civil war in Myanmar have faltered, a government spokesman warned Sunday, blaming ethnic rebel demands for greater autonomy, which the military fears could break the country up.

With only a day to go before the end of the second round of peace talks under her watch, officials said little headway had been made on the federalism or increased autonomy that are key demands for ethnic minority groups. "There will be a less good result than people are hoping for," Zaw Htay, spokesman for the president's office, told reporters on Sunday, adding "we did not get agreement on the matter of seceding". "People, the military and the government have worries that the union (of [https://www.myanmartour.com/hit-myanmar-tours-accommodation-guide_n64.html best hotels myanmar]) will split into pieces if we do not have that commitment." Secession is a red line for Myanmar's army, with "unity" an oft-repeated mantra of the military, which ruled [https://www.myanmartour.com/hit-myanmar-tours-accommodation-guide_n64.html best hotels myanmar] with an iron fist for nearly half a century and still retains huge power in the Southeast Asian nation. Myanmar, scarred by some of the world's longest-running civil wars, has dozens of ethnic minorities, mainly in a horseshoe of impoverished mountainous border regions. Negotiators from the government, military and multiple rebel groups have spent the last five days in the capital Naypyidaw trying to hash out a long-elusive deal. While few expected the breakthrough in signing a nationwide ceasefire agreement that [http://Mondediplo.com/spip.php?page=recherche&recherche=Suu%20Kyi Suu Kyi] has pushed for, there were hopes the conference might produce some sort of progress on federalism or increased autonomy for ethnic groups. Zaw Htay, who was a senior figure in [https://www.myanmartour.com/hit-myanmar-tours-accommodation-guide_n64.html best hotels myanmar]'s previous military-dominated government, said negotiators discussed 21 points dealing with political issues, but only found agreement on 12 -- an illustration of how little consensus had been reached. Hopes had been high that Myanmar's first freely elected government for generations would end the running conflicts that have claimed thousands of lives and kept the country mired in poverty. But many ethnic groups say Suu Kyi -- a member of the ethnic group that also dominates the army -- has not listened to their concerns and is working too closely with the military. The talks come as violence in [https://www.myanmartour.com/hit-myanmar-tours-accommodation-guide_n64.html myanmar best hotels]'s northeast has reached its worst point since the conflict-ridden 1980s.

Hundreds of representatives from Myanmar's ethnic insurgent groups gather for talks aimed at reviving Aung San Suu Kyi's stuttering peace process after months of heavy fighting Peace talks got underway in [https://www.myanmartour.com/hit-myanmar-tours-accommodation-guide_n64.html best hotels myanmar] on Wednesday, with de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi defending her government's stuttering attempts to end decades of fighting between the military and ethnic rebel groups. A sea of colour filled the vast conference hall in the capital Naypyidaw as ethnic delegates in traditional costumes mingled with stony-faced military officers in full regalia. The country has been [http://Search.usa.gov/search?affiliate=usagov&query=scarred scarred] by some of the world's longest-running civil wars as various ethnic groups have fought Myanmar's military for greater autonomy. Suu Kyi sought to dismiss criticism that little progress has been made on her flagship peace policy, more than a year after her party took power. "Our collective efforts have started to bear fruit," she told the conference, according to an official translation of the speech. "We have now reached the stage [https://www.myanmartour.com/hit-myanmar-tours-accommodation-guide_n64.html where to stay in myanmar] we are able to discuss the basic federal principles that are so important for our country and our people."

But many ethnic groups say Suu Kyi has not listened to their concerns and is working too closely with the military, which ruled the country with an iron fist for almost half a century. This week's gathering is the second round of peace talks since Suu Kyi's civilian [http://www.51ideas.com/?s=government government] came to power.

But the agenda will cover what shape a federal union might take, and is expected to include the first discussions on whether states will be able to draft their own constitutions. Allowing states to write their own charters would be an "historic milestone in the post-colonial history of Myanmar," said Angshuman Choudhury from the Institute of Peace and Conflict Studies, adding it could "appease powerful ethnic constituencies and... prevent outright secessionism". - Ongoing clashes - Violence in [https://www.myanmartour.com/hit-myanmar-tours-accommodation-guide_n64.html best hotels myanmar]'s northeast has reached its worst point since the conflict-ridden 1980s. Tens of thousands of people have been forced to flee months of heavy fighting between the army and insurgent groups, many of them crossing into neighbouring China, which has sent delegates to the talks. "We are hoping to be able to hold political discussions and talk directly about stopping the fighting and offensives by the Myanmar military," Major Tar Pan La from the the Ta'ang National Liberation Army told AFP. The violence has destroyed much of the fragile trust that minority voters placed in Suu Kyi in the 2015 vote, and her National League for Democracy suffered several losses in recent by-elections. It has also strengthened the hand of the China-backed United Wa States Army (UWSA), Myanmar's biggest ethnic armed group and one of the world's top drug traffickers. The 25,000-strong militia has brought together several groups still locked in combat with the military into a new negotiating bloc that is refusing to sign up to the government-backed ceasefire. Representatives from all seven, including the Kachin Independence Army (KIA), the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) and the Arakan Army (AA), touched down in Naypyidaw on Tuesday after weeks of fraught politicking. "We are hoping for equality and trying especially to stop the fighting," Sam Lawt, a spokesperson from the UWSA, told AFP at the conference. But in an apparent warning to any insurgents who are seeking too much autonomy, military commander-in-chief Min Aung Hlaing told the conference that "some ethnic groups are far beyond the federal system".

Activists, [http://www.caringbridge.org/search?q=lawyers lawyers] and migrants in Japan have complained for years about harsh treatment by some immigration officials and over conditions at detention centres. "The detainees began refusing food provided by the centre from Tuesday evening and it is still continuing," Atsushi Sakai, a spokesman at the Tokyo Regional Immigration Bureau, told AFP. It remains unclear exactly why the detainees are refusing food, Sato said, adding the bureau is investigating details, including their nationalities. "We assume that they're on a hunger strike to complain about treatment at the centre and applications for provisional release," he said, saying this kind of protest action was rare. A rights group called Provisional Release [http://Www.travelpod.com/s/Association Association] [https://www.myanmartour.com/hit-myanmar-tours-accommodation-guide_n64.html hotels in myanmar] Japan, wrote on its blog that the hunger strike participants were from 12 countries including China, [https://www.myanmartour.com/hit-myanmar-tours-accommodation-guide_n64.html best hotels myanmar], and Bangladesh, and were aged between 25 and 55. Currently about 580 people are being held at the immigration centre, Sakai said. The bureau did not confirm whether asylum seekers were also in custody there but the Japan Association for Refugees, a Tokyo-based charity, said refugee status applicants were held at immigration centres. Japan, one of the world's wealthiest countries, accepted just 28 refugees in 2016 -- one more than the previous year -- out of the 8,193 applications reviewed by the Immigration Bureau.
