The Karen people truely fight for God and Country!
"If you are absent, a bullet will come to you." - KNLA Soldier
The Karen People of Burma have been fighting for thier independence since 1948. They have been fighting for thier famlies and thier God. They have shed blood and continue to shed blood for thier homeland, Kawthoolei. Kawthooei means the land of flowers or the land without evil. Kawthooei is anything but, it is a home to rape, torture, murder and famine.
