  • A KIA's soldier check a path which conducts to the Naw Hpyu Post in the front line of the war against the Burma Government, Myanmar on August 2, 2012. The KIA formed in 1961 in response to a military coup in Burma led by General Ne Win, who attempted to consolidate Burmese control over regions on the periphery of the state which were home to various ethnic groups. From 1961 until 1994, the KIA fought a grueling and inconclusive war against the Burmese junta. In 2011, general Sumlut Gun Maw confirmed renewed fighting in the state of Kachin for independence. One of the new reasons for the ending of the ceasefire is the creation of the Myitsone Dam which requires the submergence of dozens of villages in Kachin state.
