Gun Maw interview: 'All the ethnic armed groups should be included in the signing of the NCA'

Last week government and ethnic peace negotiators put pen to paper on a single draft document that could lay the foundation for an historic nationwide ceasefire. Yet fighting continues in northeastern Burma.

Among the combatants is the Kachin Independence Army (KIA), the armed wing of the Kachin Independence Organisation (KIO), represented at the recent talks by Vice Chief of Staff General Gun Maw.

DVB sat down with the general to ask just how close Burma is to ending six decades of civil war.
