BANGKOK -- The internecine conflict between Myanmar's military and insurgent groups has spilled into a refugee camp with deadly consequences, and the violence also has destroyed bridges serving key transportation arteries.
The Karen National Union and two other ethnic militant groups released a statement Oct. 12 declaring they would not participate in the eighth anniversary commemoration of the signing of the National Ceasefire Agreement (NCA). The military government hosted the event Sunday in the capital, Naypyitaw.
