On January 31st Karen soldiers, families, elders and students crossed the Moei River and gathered at Klo Yaw Lay, the KNLA 7th brigade headquarters to celebrate the 65th Karen Revolution Day. Students from Kaw Tha Blay (KTB), a post-ten migrant learning centre 60 km north of Mae Sot, each interviewed someone at the celebrations. Students returned with information from different armed Karen factions as well as Karen leaders, teachers and civil society workers.
KTB students want to share the stories of Karen people from the 65th Revolution Day.
These interviews were sent to Burma Link by Kaw Tha Blay students. Contact us if you want to share something with the world.
