    They’ve also a stronghold in the mid-west of the USA, and in the southern counties of the UK too. One could consider them insurgents. ;)

    How dare these Karens. Coming over here, changing our laws.

    I don't know; their demands seem quite reasonable. They just want to talk to the manager.

    What I find quite disturbing is that THIS BBC article has been read more than the situation in Myanmar.

    One might argue that the Karen army strikes again.

    Excellent news.

    I spent a short time with the Karen people in 1989, across the Salween River.

    The Myanmar military planes kept flying low over the camp.

    I played a great game of football with them.

    They must have been flying very low!
    Having trouble posting images here?  This might help.

    'The balance of power in Karen State has recently shifted in favour of the opposition, as a powerful militia based on the Thai border, funded by scam centres and which had been backing the military junta, switched sides earlier this year.'

    We have been scammed for a good cause.
