When the Myanmar military, or Tatmadaw, launched a coup d’état before dawn on February 1, the Myanmar people and the international community were shocked and unified in their condemnation. All have strongly urged the regime to relinquish its forceful rule, unconditionally release all detainees, and transfer power back to the elected civilian government.

Naypyitaw [Myanmar], February 9 (ANI): Following the military coup in Myanmar, the military has disbanded the National reconciliation and Peace Centre (NRPC), the leading internal peace process mechanism of the previous National League for Democracy (NLD) government, while arresting some of its civilian leaders.
According to The Myanmar Times, the Tatmadaw (military) has informed the ethnic armed groups that future peace talks will be continued only with the military-formed peace committee.
The military has only been under the leadership of the NRPC, led by State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi who was detained during the coup, in conducting political talks with armed ethnic groups.
