Myanmar conflict: Fighting continues despite Chinese-brokered ceasefire
Myanmar’s military government has extended the country’s state of emergency for six months.
Despite that, a Chinese-brokered ceasefire with rebel fighters in northern Myanmar seems unlikely to hold.
The announcement came just ahead of the third anniversary of the military coup and means elections will be delayed.
It also comes as neighbouring China is increasingly being affected by fighting with rebel forces near the border.
Al Jazeera’s Katrina Yu reports from the town of Ruili on China’s southwestern border with Myanmar.
