Myanmar's military junta has called on armed opposition groups to cease their activities and participate in the upcoming general elections.
The appeal comes after three years of civil war following the 2021 coup, with the military under increasing pressure from opposition forces that control significant parts of the country. While the junta frames the offer as a step toward political resolution, many opposition leaders have already rejected the proposal, viewing it as an attempt to legitimize military rule.
The conflict continues to destabilize the nation, with little sign of reconciliation.
