At least 160 people have died in three months of clashes between the military and ethnic armed groups in Myanmar's Shan state, a senior army official said Tuesday amid efforts to revive flagging peace talks. More than 20,000 people have been displaced since fighting between the army and several armed ethnic groups erupted near the border with China in late November, reports AFP.
