Commander of Myanmar's armed forces oversees military parade

(27 Mar 2018) Myanmar's powerful military chief on Tuesday used a speech at the annual military parade to urge all the country's rebel ethnic armies to agree a deal to end the long-standing conflicts with the government. The military has been firmly behind a formal National Ceasefire Agreement but only a few of the ethnic armies have signed up to it. Several of the most powerful have refused and want a renegotiation. In the meantime, fighting continues in a number of areas. The parade, at a huge ground outside the capital Naypyidaw, featured more than 11,000 soldiers, and fly-pasts by fighter jets and helicopters.
