Myanmar ethnic groups sign ceasefire agreement

The government of Myanmar has signed a ceasefire agreement with eight armed ethnic groups, that may end years of fighting around the country's borders.

The signing ceremony in the capital Nay Pyi Taw is the result of two years of negotiations.

Seven major insurgent groups have refused to sign - saying the deal does not give them the autonomy they were promised when the country became independent almost 70 years ago.
