The Muslim Brotherhood Alliance was in the process of signing bilateral ceasefire agreements with the Myanmar military when the latter staged a coup on February 1.

During the negotiation of bilateral ceasefire agreements, the two sides announced and extended unilateral ceasefires from December 2018 to March this year.

The alliance’s decision in March to extend its unilateral ceasefire by one month drew widespread criticism among the Burmese population as the military regime resorted to deadly violence against anti-regime protesters.

The alliance has not extended the ceasefire since April. On April 10, he allegedly attacked a police station in Naung Mon village in Lashio, northern Shan State. Fourteen police officers were killed in the attack, but the alliance has not claimed responsibility.

Although the alliance did not extend its ceasefire, the military regime extended its unilateral ceasefire on a monthly basis. On Sunday, he extended it further until June 30.
