Deciphering Myanmar's Peace Process A Reference Guide 2015

About this report

Burma News International (www.bnionline.net) is a media network of 13 media organizations based both in the border area of Thailand and inside Myanmar. The Myanmar Peace Monitor (MPM) operates under the aegis of Burma News International (BNI). Its program, operational since 2011, has been mainly to monitor the peace process between the current Myanmar government and ethnic armed organizations (EAOs), concerning which it produces an annual Peace Monitoring Report.

This current document is a continuation of last year report, entitled "Deciphering Myanmar's

Peace Process: A Reference Guide 2014". These reports are integral to BNI's ongoing Myanmar Peace Monitoring Program (see www.mmpeacemonitor.org). This report, covering

the principal developments of 2014 and including major events up until March of this year (2015), has the purpose of facilitating understanding of the complicated components, of

the stakeholders, and of the issues involved in the peace process. It should help to make

sense of the many confusing relationships and assist key actors to make informed decisions

in the year ahead. More broadly, the report is expected to assist experts, academics, civil

society groups, the international community and the media to improve their monitoring and

analysis of the peace process in Myanmar.
