Both rebel forces and government troops will \u201cstop advancing\u201d starting Wednesday, it added.<\/p>\n<p>The group also said the military, which has not yet commented on the agreement, has agreed to halt air strikes.<\/p>\n<p>The TNLA is part of the Three Brotherhood Alliance, which also includes the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army and the Arakan Army. They have been fighting for decades for greater autonomy from Myanmar\u2019s central government and are loosely allied with the pro-democracy resistance groups that emerged after the army deposed the elected government and seized power in February 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Since October 2023, the alliance has captured and controlled significant swaths of northeastern Myanmar and western Myanmar. The TNLA alone seized 12 towns in an offensive.<\/p>\n<p>Their advance slowed following a series of China-brokered ceasefires earlier this year, allowing the army to retake major cities, including Lashio city in April and Nawnghkio in July, as well as Kyaukme and Hsipaw in October.<\/p>\n<p>China is a central power broker in the civil war in Myanmar, where it has major geopolitical and economic interests.<\/p>\n<p>Beijing has more openly backed the military government this year as it battles to shore up territory before an election slated for December, which it hopes will stabilise and help legitimise its rule.<\/p>\n<p>However, the polls are expected to be blocked in large rebel-held areas, and many international observers have dismissed them as a tactic to mask continuing military rule.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4069763\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4069763\" style=\"width:770px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-arc-image-770 wp-image-4069763\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/AP25301191419695-1761759383.jpg?w=770&amp;resize=770%2C513&amp;quality=80\" alt=\"Members of the military-backed Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) gather for opening ceremony of the party's slogan poster during the first day of election campaign for upcoming general election at their Yangon region party's headquarters Tuesday, Oct. 28, 2025, in Yangon, Myanmar.
