Myanmar Land Without Evil
In this Friday, Jan. 8, 2010 picture released by the Free Burma Rangers, Karen villagers carrying relief supplies walk on a path as they flee Myanmar soldiers in Karen State, Myanmar. Half a million Karen tribespeople have been driven from their homes by the Myanmar military. The country's second largest ethnic minority, the Karens are about 4 million within Myanmar's 43 million. The vice president of the Karen National Union, the insurgency's political organization, says that colonial Britain broke its promise to carve out a separate state for the minority before granting Burma independence in 1949.
