Zusammenfassung
Myanmar is a multi-ethnic country with a long history of armed conflict between the military (Tatmadaw) and different ethnic armed organizations (EAOs). The origins of this conflict date back to the failure to implement the Panglong Agreement, which was signed in 1947 by General Aung San and ethnic national leaders from the frontier areas (Shan, Kachin, and Chin). In the agreement, the ethnic leaders agreed to accept independence from the British and to form the democratic Union together. Therefore, it was the Panglong Agreement that gave birth to the present Myanmar, granting ethnic minorities their rights, self-determination, and even the right to secede after a ten-year period (Sakhong, 2017). Unfortunately, the head of the Panglong Agreement General Aung San was assassinated on 19th July 1947 and the Panglong Agreement was never implemented.
