Arakan Army Rejects Junta's '100-Day Peace Initiative'

The Arakan Army formally rejected Min Aung Hlaing's '100-day peace initiative' invitation (deadline July 31, 2026) on July 20, citing the contradiction between the regime's peace rhetoric and its continued airstrikes on AA-held territory — pointing directly to a July 19 coordinated airstrike wave across Rakhine, Mandalay, and Sagaing that killed 6 civilians and injured 26+. The rejection came from the resistance force controlling the largest share of contested territory, holding roughly 70% of Rakhine State.
