The offer was the military's first olive branch to its rivals since its 2021 coup
MYANMAR - Myanmar's ruling military on Thursday urged its armed opponents to abandon what it called "terrorism" and join the political fold in a general election next year, in an unexpected outreach to its enemies that was quickly rebuffed.
The offer was the military's first olive branch to its rivals since its 2021 coup, having resisted international calls to enter into dialogue with what it insists are terrorists determined to destroy the country. Maung Saungkha, the leader of the Bamar People's Liberation Army, a militia formed in the wake of the coup, told Reuters: "we are not interested in this offer."The proposed election has already been widely derided as a sham and the outcome is unlikely to be recognised by western countries, with dozens of parties disbanded for not registering to run, including the dominant National League for Democracy, whose government the generals toppled in a 2021 coup.
