- Min Aung Hlaing set a 100‑day deadline, urging non‑NCA rebel groups to join peace talks by July 31 after being elected president in a disputed March election.
- Karen National Union rejected the invitation, noting it withdrew from the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement after the 2021 coup and has no plans to re‑engage.
- Chin National Front said it seeks a federal democratic system free of military influence and will not negotiate with the ‘administration’ that merely changed its appearance.
Why it matters: The junta’s bid to legitimize power fails as the KNU and CNF reject talks, leaving the July 31 deadline empty and ensuring the civil war and humanitarian crisis persist.
