YANGON: A Myanmar ceasefire declared after last month’s devastating earthquake was due to expire on Tuesday, after aid groups and international mediators called for an extension to ease relief efforts.
The junta, which seized power in a 2021 coup sparking a many-sided civil war, said it would cease attacking its myriad armed opponents following the magnitude-7.7 quake which has killed more than 3,700.
Conflict monitors and residents in combat zones say fighting continued on both sides during the 20-day truce, declared to spur aid delivery in Myanmar’s central belt and due to expire at midnight (1730 GMT).
State media reported no ceasefire extension on Tuesday morning and a junta spokesman could not immediately be reached by AFP for comment.
The March 28 earthquake has left more than 60,000 people living in tent encampments and pushed two million people into “critical need of assistance and protection” according to the UN.
Despite continued fighting, humanitarian groups and regional powers have called for the pause on hostilities to be prolonged as aid efforts continue into their fourth week.
On Thursday junta chief Min Aung Hlaing flew to Bangkok to meet Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim for rare backroom talks with the chair of the 10-country ASEAN bloc.
Anwar, whose country currently holds the rotating chairmanship of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), said he had also spoken to Myanmar’s opposition “National Unity Government” which promised a similar truce after the tremor.
Both sides agreed “they would do whatever is necessary to avoid any extension of the fighting”, Anwar told reporters after the meeting.

PHOENIX: President Donald Trump added another endorsement in next year’s Republican primary for Arizona governor, saying Monday that he was backing US representative Andy Biggs in addition to his previously announced endorsement of housing developer Karrin Taylor Robson. Trump’s endorsement of Robson late last year angered some of his biggest allies in the state, who are suspicious of her longstanding ties to the Republican business establishment and preferred a candidate with deep roots in Trump’s “Make America Great Again” movement.
A former chair of the US House’s hard-right Freedom Caucus and former state senate president, Biggs has long been a close ally to Trump and supported his false claims about the 2020 presidential election being stolen. Biggs represents a deep red district including cities like Queen Creek and Gilbert, and has ties to the party’s grassroots.
Biggs has had no problem with defying party leadership – such as when he and seven other House Republicans helped oust Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker in 2023.
“When Andy Biggs decided to run for Governor, quite unexpectedly, I had a problem – Two fantastic candidates, two terrific people, two wonderful champions, and it is therefore my Great Honor to give my complete and total endorsement to both,” Trump said Monday in a post on Truth Social.
In a failed 2022 race for governor, Robson was closely aligned with old guard Arizona conservatives. She campaigned with Republicans who had fallen from Trump’s good graces, including former governor Doug Ducey and former vice-president Mike Pence, while Trump campaigned for former television news anchor Kari Lake. Lake won the GOP primary and lost to current Democratic governor Katie Hobbs.
This time around, Robson has been looking to eliminate daylight between herself and the president, eagerly embracing him and his policies while touting herself as the Trump-endorsed candidate. In reaction to the dual endorsement, Robson expressed her gratitude to Trump for his support.
“I cannot wait to be in the governor’s office as a partner to his conservative, America First agenda,” she said in a statement. “Onward!” Sean Noble, general consultant with Biggs’ campaign, said the campaign is “thrilled” for the endorsement but also expected it to be for both candidates given Trump’s earlier support of Robson.
“Given that Robson had leaned so heavily on the endorsement as her very premise for being in the race, it does call into question whether she should stay in the race,” he said.
Trump is no stranger to dual endorsements. Since 2017, he’s supported multiple candidates vying for the same post in six races, including Robson and Biggs, according to analysis by The Associated Press. In the 2022 US Senate race in Missouri, he endorsed “Eric,” the first name of two GOP candidates vying for the nomination. A triple endorsement came in 2024 in the Missouri governor’s race when Trump backed Jay Ashcroft, Mike Kehoe and Bill Eigel.
The Democratic Governors Association called the dual endorsement as a “huge blow” to Robson. The winner of the GOP primary will face likely face Hobbs, who has no serious challenger for the Democratic nomination.

MELBOURNE: Australians began voting Tuesday at general elections as campaigning was overshadowed by the death of Pope Francis. Polling stations opened to voters who for a variety of reasons will be unable to vote on May 3. Around half the votes are expected to be cast before the election date.
Both Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and opposition leader Peter Dutton cancelled campaign events planned for Tuesday out of respect for the late pontiff.
Flags were flown at half staff from government buildings across the country where a 2021 census found 20% of the population were Catholics.
Albanese was raised as a Catholic but chose to be sworn in as prime minister when he was elected in 2022 by making a secular affirmation rather than by taking an oath on a Bible.
Albanese attended a Mass in honour of the pope in Melbourne’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Tuesday morning.
“I try not to talk about my faith in public,” Albanese told reporters.
“At times like this, I think what people do is they draw on who they are and certainly my Catholicism is just a part of me,” he added.
Albanese and Dutton, who leads the conservative Liberal Party, will meet in Sydney later Tuesday for the third televised leaders’ debate of the campaign.
A fourth debate is planned Sunday.
Dutton, who was raised by a Catholic father and Protestant mother and attended an Anglican school, planned to go to a church service in Sydney.
“I don’t think it’s a day for overt politicking at all. I think that the day is best spent reflecting,” Dutton told Australian Broadcasting Corp.
“I don’t think there’s a place for the body blows of politics today. I think it’s a very different day from that,” Dutton added.
Albanese’s centre-left Labour Party is seeking a second three-year term.
The government held a narrow majority of 78 seats out of 151 in the House of Representatives where parties form administrations during its first term.
The lower chamber will shrink to 150 seats after the election due to redistributions.
The major parties are both predicting a close election result.

BENGALURU: A road-rage incident involving a biker and an Indian Air Force (IAF) couple in east Bengaluru snowballed into a language controversy Monday with a Wing Commander, who was travelling in a car along with his wife, alleging he was abused in Kannada before being assaulted without any provocation.
The bleeding Wing Commander commented: “This is what Karnataka has become. I believed in Kannada, but seeing the truth of main heartland Karnataka, I could not believe it. God help us.”
Wing Commander Shiladitya Bose put out a video claiming he had shown restraint when attacked, he said, “God gave me the power not to retaliate.” His video triggered terse reactions with netizens slamming Kannada-speaking Bengalureans for targeting outsiders. Before the city got branded negatively, police arrested the biker, who maintained he was actually the one who was brutally attacked and not otherwise. When police analysed the video footage from various CCTV cameras, a shocking discovery unfolded: Bose is seen bashing up and tossing down the biker after the verbal duel turns physical.
Deputy commissioner of police (Bengaluru East) D Devaraj said: “We want to make it clear that this is not a case related to any language or region. From the facts and evidence collated, this is a clear cut case of road rage which we see every day in Bengaluru.”
The high-voltage drama unfolded around 6.20am Monday when Bose and his wife Madhumita Dutta, both residents of DRDO Phase-1 Township in CV Raman Nagar, were driving towards Old Madras Road as the former was leaving for the airport to go to Kolkata. Madhumita is a squadron leader, attached to ADA.
In her complaint to Baiyappanahalli police, Madhumita stated she was going to drop her husband when a rashly driven bike (KA53-EA528) almost hit her car.

RAIPUR: A man from Sulesa village in Chhattisgarh’s Jashpur district beat his wife to death over a suspected theft. It was also revealed that he had been married ten times and nine of his wives left him due to his violent and abusive behaviour.
The 38-year-old Dhula Ram allegedly killed his tenth wife suspecting her to have stolen food items and a sari from a wedding ceremony. He then left the body hidden under the heap of dry leaves in the forest in Jashpur district in the state.
The man beat his wife to death after a confrontation in which he accused her of stealing rice, cooking oil, and clothing from a wedding. The incident took place in Pandrapath area, at Bagicha region and only came to light after the decaying body began to emit a foul odour five days later.
As per cops, the accused — Dhula Ram — had accompanied his wife, Basanti Bai, to a nearby wedding following which the incident occured. On Sunday afternoon, villagers noticed a foul smell emanating from a forested area near a drain.
Upon investigating, they discovered a severely decomposed and partially concealed corpse. The face was reportedly disfigured beyond recognition. Based on initial evidence and witness accounts, the accused was arrested shortly after.
According to police, Dhula Ram had grown increasingly suspicious and paranoid in his current marriage, fearing abandonment once again. This, compounded by the alleged theft, appears to have triggered the fatal assault, cops said.

A temple was defaced by vandals in Canada’s Surrey with pro-Khalistan graffiti, marking another incident targeting religious institutions in the North American nation.

President Donald Trump broke his silence on the leaked Signal chat controversy involving Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Calling the backlash media-driven, Trump dismissed all concerns, saying, “Ask the Houthis how much dysfunction there is. There’s none.” Trump praised Hegseth’s leadership, insisting that “everybody’s happy with him.”

Trump, showing a distaste for soft power, has killed more than 80 percent of US overseas assistance and has eyed major cuts in diplomatic staff in Africa.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Tuesday said India deeply values its long and historic ties with Saudi Arabia, asserting that their relations have acquired a strategic depth and momentum in recent years.
