Myanmar's military-backed President Min Aung Hlaing has called for peace negotiations with opposition armed groups to begin within 100 days, with a deadline set for the end of July. The announcement was made at a government meeting by Min Aung Hlaing, who seized power in a coup five years ago that triggered an ongoing civil war in the Southeast Asian nation. However, two key rebel groups swiftly rejected the offer on Tuesday, casting doubt on the prospect of a near-term resolution to the conflict.
