As armed conflicts have been taking place widely in Myanmar and the military framework is expanding, it is necessary to hold discussions to expand the political framework according to military and political analysts. 

It was necessary to hold political peace talks continuously and patiently to make the military framework narrow, chairperson of the Arakan Liberation Party (ALP), Daw Saw Mya Raza Lin told CNI News.

" If the military conflict takes too long, more casualties will take place. There have been lots of casualties just now. So, we'll arrive at the roundtable one day or another. Military framework is wide while the political framework is narrow. We need to be patient to make the military framework narrow. We'll have to hold political talks continuously. And then, it's necessary to consider the results from the political talks. After that, participants at the roundtable need to attempt in order to reduce battles more than now, I think." she said.

Armed conflicts have been taking place in Myanmar since 1948. Although discussions were held again and again to end armed conflicts, they were void and battles resumed. 

Armed conflicts have broken out across the country as a result of political disagreements that started on 1st February 2021 and the number of IDPs has been over 6 millions, according to the ISP-Myanmar.

As the two organizations, only if they gave priority to the public, would the political framework be wider, chairman of the Arakan Front Party (AFP), Dr. Aye Maung told CNI News.

" When the war breaks out between the two sides, the public is hurt. Politics has retreated. To make the politics come to the fore, all the stakeholders need to see the real landscape. It's necessary to take a historical lesson. The Myanmar Tatmadaw should take the lesson and so should the State Administration Council (SAC) that is currently leading the country. In the same way, only if all the armed revolutionary elements give priority to the Myanmar public, will politics be strong. Only if all the stakeholders negotiate and solve the problem politically, military tension will be reduced. Independence will be given to Myanmar for the second time." he said.
