In its latest briefing, A Tentative Peace in Myanmar’s Kachin Conflict, the International Crisis Group examines the preliminary peace agreement that the Myanmar government signed with the Kachin Independence Organisation (KIO), the last of the eleven major armed ethnic groups to sign an agreement since 2011. This represents a major opportunity to secure lasting peace not only in Kachin State, but in the country as a whole. Yet, there will be major challenges in doing so.
