Their resistance fighters have countered well the Burmese army's attempt at defeating their fight for a separate homeland. We talk to the Karen in Manerplaw. The mainly Christian Karen form the largest ethnic minority in Burma. They fund their movement by logging valuable teak in the forests. But the Burmese army is sealing off the border with Thailand to stop this trade and hence the Karen's source of funding.

I see somebody I know in this video. The little girl who sat next to her mom and brother is my friend. She is married and has two kids now, she resettle to the American now...thanks for posting this video...so that we know the past...
That's a miracle dear.👍
Karen, a country with a beautiful natural beauty and with a lots of brave soldiers.
Keep fighting for the right.
I have been hearing of the Karens struggles since I can remember and read back in the 1970s. In my grown up years I met lot of Karen Christians overseas. What amazes me is that there are quite a lot of Karen Christians overseas and in Karen land but receive very little or almost non existent aid in whatever forms by Christians worldwide. The awareness abut these people's fate and struggles is almost non existent even to many Christians in the Southeast Asia. I believe it's time for Christians in Southeast Asia and the world to step up the effort to help these people in any ways possible. The awareness campaign should be stepped up even at the United Nations. News seldom get out due to the military regime control of the transportations and media. Christian organizations all across the world should not only come to offer helps in term of medicine, foods and education but also necessary arms and any kind of weaponry to help the Karens against genocide and attacks from the military junta. Praying for peace to descend on the land is one thing, but sending helps, men and women as well as tactical trainings and weapons is another aspects, in fact necessary to ensure the Karens security, peace and independence.
Manerplaw fall in 1995, without DKBA, SPDC not easily to break Manerplaw. SPDC got Manerplaw because DKBA helped them as bestfriend helped bestfriend. More than 10 to 20 thousand SPDC died and injured.
For those asking, "Why old videos?"... You can't understand the present without knowing the past. Consider this video a window into the past. It reveals to you the events and sentiments that reverberate all the way to the present. It helps you to stop embarrassing yourself by asking empty, ignorant questions like "Why can't we all just get along?" The present is wholly dependent upon the past. This is as critical to your understanding of the world as any current events news. Appreciate it.
How can we all forgot our old bitter dreams? The road of fires and thorns has not ended yet to our Karen people. Let's pay tribute and honor to our fallen Karen heroes!
now we are facing this junta again, with new students alliance. I pray that we will win this time.
Edit : facing again in 01 Feb 2021 because of military coup.
Today date : 9 Dec 2021
Thank you for at least hearing our story😔
I am with your people at least in prayer and raising awareness to the world community. Hopefully some day, in deeds. May God be with your people and give them strength and courage to fight evil.
They are not rebal, they are real berqho fights for freedom. Karen you are the real heroes.. god bless you.

@BigMTBrain I agree. Anywas, i want to make sure everyone who watch this. Manerplaw fall in 1995. This is 16 years ago.If only SPDC , Manerplaw never fall. Manerplaw fall because Democratic Karen Buddhist Army( DKBA) held SPDC during the war. In 1991 to 1999, more than 10 to 20 thousand's SPDc died and injured. Thousand karen soldiers and civilians died and injured. Thank you...
GIVE ME LIBERTY OR DEATH!
liberty is gay men with women dress
@unitedstateofamerful - Thank you for the extra historical information from the period of the video forward. Hopefully, curious minds will allow videos like this to be seeds for their continued independent research. When I watch videos like this, I become concerned for the people involved. I then want to know the pre-history and the post-history of the events shown in the video. Wikipedia and Google searches are great starting points for researching and obtaining a much expanded perspective.
@JawValor You are absolutely correct..
please who is the correspondent team i find this to be vastly interesting
Now the fight still raging
@runebagel THis old video for people who want to learn and know..Also for everyone. It is free. If you want to watch, you can, If you don't want to watch, you can. Is for free.
I wish I knew the answer to this situation. I wish all brutality would stop!
@MeesterCrumpet No, it was 1995. It about 16 years ago. Thank you..Yes old, we already wrote those information down down in karen history book. Now karen try to retake Ma Ner Plaw ....Now karen take control most of karen state. Thank you.
Very nice Sith-Efrican accent there ~ 1:10 onwards
@eveningniteshade I agree we want 21st century news!
Thai help Karen people to start Thai vs Myanmar war
Thanks You.
@eveningniteshade cause its his/her channel.
the walkie talkie got malaysian flag stick on it. 1:23..
wonder malaysia goverment fund the rebel..
i seriously dont hope after the tadmadaw has been destroyed that all the groups claim their own land. i hope myanmar stays like myanmar like 1 country but all live together love eachoter etc. otherwise there probably will be more fighting for borders etc.
Also if myanmar splits into a lot small countries for example it would not help trade and tourism and industrie. and we should help eachother. and myanmar has the potential to be the next thailand (economically pretty strong in the region)
why we los?
This rebels ineed was help by other country ?
7:41 poor guy

This Karen Army in 2024💪
It is terrible situation that most of the Karens are being suffered by this war even it had nothing to do with their freedom. This war was a simply a Christian religious and political propaganda by Christian Karen leaders to regain their power they enjoyed over Buddhist community under the British rules. Even though Christians are the minority among Karens, they were successful to establish a international recognition with the help of Christian Missionaries.
Our people were not allowed to learn our own language, the women and children were being raped. They have no mercy when they see Karen people.They burned the whole Karen village on a Christmas day. They gathered the Karen people in a church and they burned them alive. The Burmese military evil. We had to fight back. It was our land before the Burmese came into Myanmar. Right now as I am texting... the Burmese military are attacking and killing people at Karen state in Myanmar.
Jesus love you Karen people 🤟🏻🌈
