Reports: Myanmar’s Shan rebels sign ceasefire
Bangkok, December 2 (AP): Exile media outlets say the Shan ethnic rebel group has signed a low-level ceasefire with the government in Myanmar.

The agreement comes as Myanmar’s army-backed but elected government is seeking international legitimacy through democratic reforms after years of military repression.
