You need to cease this nonsense.

If the top layers of independence, democracy, and human rights are peeled off, the ugly core of this war is basically a bitter racial conflict. A minority armed rebellion against the majority will eventually fail, even with the initial advantage of massive arms leftover from the British and the existence of well trained fighting battalions called the Karen Rifles. Well documented atrocities were committed by both sides during the height of civil war between the Karen and Burmese.

The most notorious case was the violent gang rape and eventual selling to the Thai brothels of a group of young Burmese girls kidnapped from Moulmein University by KNDO Lin Htin. One of the girls was a fiancee of a young Burmes lieutenant who shot Lin Htin dead later during the ceasefire talk between KNDO and Burmese Government. All the girls finally died of Syphilis in Thai brothels and that lieutenant was rumored to become the Burmese ambassador to Thailand in the eighties.

At the beginning of this civil war, the Union Government of Burma was even labeled the Rangoon Government as the Karen controlled almost half of the country. But gradually they lost the territory and eventually stranded only on the Thai-Burma border. During the Ne Win’s Socialist rule, they thrived from the massive profits from the smuggling operations across the border. Once the socialist were gone and the border is reopened and the goods flow freely across the border, the cash flow was stopped forever and the rebellion is strangled to a slow death.

The main reason the Karen rebellion will never become the spearhead of fight against the military government in Burma is that most Burmese will never support them even though they hate their own military government with their guts. Even Aung San Su Kyi knows that clear fact and so she stays well away from the Karen rebellion.
