The Arakan Liberation Party reunification is underway, Col.Khaing Kyaw Hlaing from the ALP told CNI News. 

However, they have not been able to implement the reunification at present, he said. 

" We were able to get to a dialogue path with Bamar government with whom we were fighting against ceaselessly. We can have a dialogue among organizations separated from one party, I assume. We are trying to unite in one party every day." said Col. Khaing Kyaw Hlaing.

The group led by Khaing Ye Khaing, chairman, and Daw Saw Mya Raza Lin released a statement in January 2022 that the group led by Khaing Soe Naing Aung, vice chairman, had been expelled from the party because that group was trying to found a new party.

Again, the path that the group led by Khaing Ye Khaing wanted to go was different from the one that the group led by Daw Saw Mya Raza Lin wanted to go, that they said after which the party were split into two in March 2023.

At present, the party was split into three and they are the group led by Khaing Soe Naing Aung, the group led by Khaing Ye Khaing and the group led by Daw Saw Mya Raza Lin.

" We often get in touch with one another. Yesterday, I talked about the paty with Khaing Min Soe, commander in chief from the group led by Khaing Ye Khaing. In the same way, I talk with Daw Saw Mya Raza Lin occasionally. We can't go on like this." said Col. Khaing Kyaw Hlaing to CNI News.

Col. Khaing Kyaw Hlaing is from the group led by U Khaing Soe Aung. 

When CNI asked Daw Saw Mya Raza Lin about the ALP that is split into three groups, she told CNI that she had no comment.

 The ALP has signed the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA) on 15th October, 2015 together with seven other ethnic armed organization and currently, the ALP is having peace talks with the State Administration Council.
