And Myanmar has all but finalised a historic nationwide ceasefire pact with 16 armed ethnic groups.<br /> <br /> The Myanmarese leader categorically denied the existence of insurgent camps on the South-East Asian nation’s territory and insisted that the ultras “criss-crossed” the 1,640 kilometre-long border. He asserted that Myanmar had invested a lot of military resources on its border with India - with over 10 Regiments permanently based on some of the volatile sections. <br /> <br /> “The problem is that it is a mountainous areas, with very few people living there on our side. Also access to that area is very difficult, with very few all-weather roads in that area,” said Htut, who is barely a month into his job.<br /> <br /> Source: The New Indian Express<br />
