Burma/Myanmar – Kachin land back to dark ages
In June 2011, after 17 years of cease-fire, fighting resumed between the Burma/Myanmar army and the Kachin Independence Army (KIA), the armed wing of the Kachin Independence Organisation (KIO), an predominantly Christian ethnic group living in the Kachin State, along the Northern border with China. More than 60,000 villagers have fled the conflict areas to find shelter in makeshift camps along the Chinese border.
