The army of Myanmar has been accused by the United Nations of violating its own ceasefires -the fire groups that oppose its rule throughout the country.
The UN also claimed that the junta had limited the help to some areas that were destroyed by last week’s earthquake, which has now killed more than 3,100 people.
The accusations came as military chef Min Aung Hlaing made a rare journey abroad to meet Asian leaders in Thailand.
He has been avoided by most world leaders since he assumed power in 2021, when the army overthrowed the democratically elected government.
His visit was not welcomed by everyone, with some demonstrators hanging a banner outside the location that read: “We don’t welcome murderer Min Aung Hlaing.”
The banished leader met Thailand’s Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinatra and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, with a common subject with restoration of the earthquake.
The Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that Mr. Modi called on the current temporary cease -fires permanent in the country.
The earthquake of last Friday’s 7.7 Magnitude has now killed at least 3,145, with more than 4,500 injured and more than 200 still missing, the Junta said.

Air strikes would be reportedly performed after a ceasefiring
The UN office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights said that the 53 reported attacks by the Junta investigated opponents, including air strikes, of which 16 after the announcement of the cessation -the fire on 2 April.
The UN also said that the Junta auxiliary supplies limited to areas where local communities do not support.
A Junta spokesperson did not respond to calls from Reuters who were looking for comments.
Emergency services still have to reach all parts of the country that need help.
On Friday, the Aid Chief Tom Fletcher of the United Nations Tom Fletcher and special envoy for Myanmar, Julie Bishop, were in the country.
As recovery and auxiliary efforts continue, extreme heat and prediction can hinder regent teams on the spot who try to help people who desperately need help.
There are also concerns that the disorders can spread the disease.
Auxiliary groups say that the country urgently needs medical supplies, clean drinking water and food.

Teams from countries such as China, India and Russia continue to work on recovering those trapped under the rubble in the capital of Myanmar, Nayyyidaw, and the second largest city in the country, Mandalay.
The UN sexual health and reproduction agency said that at least 173,855 pregnant women in Myanmar were at risk after the earthquake.
The representative of the organization in Myanmar, Jaime Nadal Roig, said: “The birth does not stop, not even in an earthquake.”
He said that work was underway to try to offer urgent medical care in areas without electricity, and without medical facilities.
“We cannot allow this crisis to remove the rights of women, their safety or their future,”
he said.
He repeated the call to the international community to offer more help and financing to help agencies on site to achieve the most need.
Rohingya refugees to return home under the deal
Despite the disaster with earthquakes, Myanmar has confirmed that 180,000 Rohingya refugees who live in neighboring Bangladesh after fleeing their home country to return, said the Perskantoor of the Government of Bangladesh on Friday.
The announcement, after conversations at the Bimstec summit in Bangkok, offered a possible breakthrough in the elongated repatriation process.

Most fled a brutal performance in 2017 by the army of Myanmar, although some have been there for some time.
About 70,000 Rohingya stuck to Bangladesh last year, many fleeing deteriorating hunger and violence in the state of Rakhine in Myanmar.
Friday’s announcement followed a meeting in Bangkok between Khalilur Rahman, senior representative of the interim government of Bangladesh, led by Nobel Prize winner Muhammad Yunus, and then SWE, Myanmar’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The 180,000 names were part of a list of 800,000 Rohingya that Bangladesh submitted to Myanmar in six batches between 2018 and 2020.
Myanmar has also indicated that the final verification of another 70,000 refugees is awaiting further assessment of photos and identity details.
The statement said that Myanmar had promised to speed up the verification process for the remaining 550,000 names on the original list.
The Government of Myanmar did not immediately comment on the outcome of the meeting in Bangkok.
The Rohingya refugees have little hope to return to their home country, where they remain confronted with systematic denial of citizenship and basic rights.
Attempts to start with repatriation in 2018 and 2019 failed when the refugees, feared for persecution, refused to go back.
“After all these years, they confirm only 180,000 names. This feels like nothing more than a washing. We want a real solution,” a Rohingya refugee, Shafiqur Rahman, told Reuters.
“Myanmar has to take us all back – not just a few selected pair – and they must ensure that we return with complete rights, dignity and citizenship. Without that this process means nothing to us.”
