U Thura Shwe Mann, the elected speaker of Pyithu Hluttaw, the lower house of Burmese Parliament, told chief editors of well known journals in Burma in Yangon Division Parliament Meeting that the fight between KIA and Burmese troops have came to conclude through negotiation for peace talk made by one Kachin MP.
However, KIA requested an official peace talk not a negotiation by a single person.
The fight is still going on in Kachin State. Chinese government also has been forcing the Kachin Refugees back to Kachin State telling them that the war has ended.
A spoke person from KIA told Voice of America in Burmese that the fight between KIA and Burmese troops has been going on in many different places in Kachin State. However, KIA is in mobile defensive against Burmese troops' massive attack using motors and tanks.
Tha Kachin News reported,
The fighting occurred between troops of the KIA’s Battalion 12 and the Burmese Army’s Mogaung-based Infantry Battalion (IB) No. 74, said KIA officers.
The IB No. 74 is under Military Operation Command (MOC)-3 headquartered in Mogaung. The army arrested Maraw Brang Mai and Salang Kaba La Seng, two civil administrative officers of the Kachin Independence Organization (KIO), the political wing of the KIA on March 24, when it was deployed in Hpakant Township.
The war continues in KIA territories in the two states in Northern Burma--- Kachin State and northern Shan State after the President U Thein Sein-led proxy military government launched a military offensive against the KIO/KIA in Sang Gang in Manmaw (Bhamo) district, Kachin State on June 9.
The KIA is fighting against intruding Burmese troops under the newly-set “wide defensive policy” of the KIO/KIA.
