Burma's forgotten civil war

Christian Wyss

In addition to the Rohingya, the Burmese regime is also operating against other minorities, such as the Kachin, virtually unnoticed by the international public. They are Christians and live in the far north, bordering China. They have been fighting for their land since 1961. No international aid organization has access to the 150,000 refugees. They are forgotten by the world and the media.
