Myanmar Ceasefire Lasts Only Hours

A ceasefire in Myanmar proved to be yet another facade by the government.

Fighting only stopped for a few hours, as government troops strengthened and moved up their positions.

Kachin rebels say that only the air force has followed the cease fire, which was announced on Friday.

The government said that their troops only reacted to defend themselves.

However, independent sources have confirmed the rebels accounts of the situation.

Myanmar's government has a history of announcing ceasefires, but not living up to them.
