It is only the terrorist military council and their subordinate factions who do not want humanitarian aid and diplomats to reach the PNLO, which is deeply involved in the revolution against the military government,” he said. "It is believed that this attack was carried out by a group that did not want this aid to reach the PNLO-controlled area. “We condemn those who carried out this attack on a convoy that came to give aid and support to people fleeing the war," Nay Phone Latt said. He said the convoy was going to the office of the Pa-O National Liberation Organisation, an ethnic group living in the area, to distribute aid to displaced people. Nay Phone Latt, a spokesperson for the National Unity Government, an underground group that calls itself the country's legitimate government and serves as an umbrella organisation for opponents of military rule, denied that its armed wing, the People's Defence Forces, had carried out the attack. Its failure to carry out the agreement has caused ASEAN to bar Myanmar's military leaders from its top-level meetings. The military government has not implemented most parts of the consensus, which calls for an immediate end to violence in Myanmar, dialogue among all parties, the appointment of a special envoy, humanitarian assistance by ASEAN, and a visit by the special envoy to Myanmar to meet with all parties. MRTV said the government is cooperating in providing humanitarian assistance under a Five Point Consensus reached by ASEAN in 2021 in an effort to help restore peace in Myanmar after the army seized power from the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi in February 2021. “The 'heinous' attack made it more difficult for displaced people as the government tries to improve relations with other countries to alleviate the situation,” the report said. “A security vehicle was damaged, but no one in the convoy was injured, it said.” The report said the gunmen opened fire with small arms and the security team accompanying the convoy returned fire. The military government uses the term terrorists for a wide range of forces opposed to military rule. The report did not say which organisation the terrorists were from. State-run television MRTV reported that the attack on the convoy with delegates from the ASEAN Coordinating Centre for Humanitarian Assistance and the Indonesian and Singaporean embassies occurred on Sunday in eastern Shan state and was carried out by terrorists. 1st Class James Downen.A convoy including diplomats representing the Association of Southeast Asian Nations on a mission to provide humanitarian assistance to displaced people in strife-torn Myanmar has been ambushed, state media and a member of an ethnic minority militia said on Monday. ![]()
