Kachin Independece Organization (or KIO) has organized ‘Ethnic armed organizations’ Conference’ in Laiza late 2013 to discuss on ‘nation-wide ceasefire’. KIO’s armed wing KIA and Ta’ang National Liberation Army (or TNLA) – the military wing of Palaung State Liberation Front (or PSLF) are the only armed groups that have not signed a cease fire with the Burmese government as of April 2014.
