(11 Mar 1976) RR7610A BURMA: THE KAREN REBELS
For over a quarter of a century, the Karen rebels of
Eastern Burma have been fighting a little-publicised
war of liberation. The Karens are Burma's largest
minority with a population of at least three million and
an army of 10,000, which now includes some school-age
boys. In 1975, they agreed on a common front with other
groups, including the Shans and the Kachins, which are
also trying to wrest autonomy from the one-party state of
Burmese President Ne Win, but there has been no major
breakthrough yet. This colourful report of a rarely filmed
area shows their training and life in their jungle HQ, and
includes an interview with their political leader Manh Ba Zan.
