Description:
"The UNFC is a
representation
of reunification of almost all
the
ethnic
resistance
forces, particularly between the ceasefire
organizations
–
the Kachin Independent
Organization
(KIO), Shan State
Progress Party (SSPP) and New Mon
State Party
(NMSP)
-
and the non
-
ceasefire organizations
–
Karen National Union (KNU), Karenni
National Progressive Party (KNPP) and Chin National Front
(CNF).
The reunification
process started
in early 2010, after the
SPDC military
regime
insisted on the ceasefire
organizations
(CFOs) to transform
their armed wings
to
the Border Guard Force (BGF)
or people?s
militia,
which would be subjected totally to
the command of Burma Army.
At the end of the 16
-
year old cease
fire
period, the
SPDC
military regime demanded
CFOs
to transform
its armed forces
to BGF or people?s
militia.
Some CFOs such as the KIO, SSPP,
NMSP, DKBA, etc.
totally
rejected the demand, since
they had signed the ceasefire agreement,
with the hope of
gaining
the rights to
political equality and self-determination
of the ethnic
nationalities..."
