Shan State Army (SSA) soldiers salute during the 65th anniversary of Shan State National Day at the army's Loi Taileng headquarters in Shan State along the Myanmar-Thai border February 7, 2012. The SSA, one of the largest ethnic rebel groups in the country, signed a ceasefire agreement with the government early in December 2011. Peace talks with Myanmar's many armed ethnic group have long been a key demand by the West in order to have sanctions lifted.
