People & Power - Blood and Gold: Inside Burma's Hidden War

On Oct 3, 2012

A brutal civil war has intensified between government forces and the Kachin Independence Army deep in the wilds of Myanmar's northern Kachin state. A People & Power team went to Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, to see why the conflict rages on. Who's Comments 1=The civil war in burma will probably not end in the foreseaable future...the Kachins and Wa are strong militarilly and will take a major campaign to wipe them out but the business relationship between the guerillas and the Burmese gov. is too important and interwined that to wipe out the guerillas willl heavilly disrupt the money flow to the Burmese gov. Also China is pressuring both sides to keep things quiet so as not to endanger their investments. 2=commie China. So the Tatmadaw had to switch alliances quickly allying with the commie Chinese to fight the KMT, allying then witht eh KMT and CIA to fight the local and Laotian and Vietnamese commies. The Tatmadaw has a very complicated love hate relationship with the local ethnic guerillas. They do business with drugs together but fight each other from time to time. 3=

OK here is the history of the war in a gist...1948 the newly independent burmese state fights for its life vs. communists, muslims, Chinese and various other enthic guerilla groups(a lot of them). The Tatmadaw(the Burma National army) is forced to take extreme measures and fight total war vs. everyone else.
   
     

 

The situation is made complicated not only by the abundant gold, jade, and drugs in the war but also various criminal warlords, the Chinese KMT using Burma as a springboard to attack 4=well the war in Burma has always been at its heart a racial war...the majority Bamar vs. everyone else.
