Indonesia’s president has urged all parties in Burma to cease violence after a convoy that included officials from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) was attacked in a “shootout” while delivering humanitarian aid to the country.

“Stop using force because it’s the people who will become victims. This condition will not make anyone win,” Indonesian President Joko Widodo said at a news conference on May 8.
