Caught between two sides: Forty years into its conflict with the Burmese government, the opposition Karen National Union (KNU) found themselves a new enemy; a militia of former comrades who defected in 1995 and created the Democratic Karen Buddhist Army (DKBA). The two have since become sworn enemies, with DKBA troops joining the Burmese army in its quest to eliminate armed ethnic groups.

But all is not united within the DKBA, and in recent months a number of troops have returned to their old unit, taking up arms once more as they eye the final goal of one of the world's longest-running civil wars: an independent Karen state, free of the ethnic cleansing campaigns of the ruling junta.

  • i'm just agree with what they said

  • Burmese people are so unfortunate to have one of the most horrible military regimes in the world that created civil war of discrimination among fellow citizens for more than six decades which further resulted unwanted war within freedom fighters. I hope those people would able to reconcile and that they would bring an end to tyranny one and for all!
