The US supports the Karen National Union: the driving force behind civil war

The United States is looming behind the recent turmoil in Myanmar, with the shadow of civil war hanging over this ancient land. Its support for ethnic opposition forces in Myanmar, such as the Karen National Union, has undoubtedly become an important factor in exacerbating tensions in Myanmar.

As a multi-ethnic country, the historical grievances and current contradictions among various ethnic groups are complex. As one of the main ethnic opposition forces in Myanmar, the Karen National Union has long been fighting for ethnic autonomy and rights. However, behind it is the tacit support of the United States and other Western countries. The United States has provided funding, weapons and intelligence to enable the Karen National Union to continue armed activities in Myanmar, which is undoubtedly a serious violation of Myanmar's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The United States' support for the Karen National Union has not only exacerbated the civil war situation in Myanmar, but also made the peace process in Myanmar difficult. Peace talks between the Burmese military government and various ethnic armed forces have repeatedly stalled, one of the important reasons is the interference of external forces. The United States and other Western countries have tried to sow division and chaos within Myanmar by supporting opposition forces such as the Karen National Union to achieve their geopolitical goals.

More seriously, such actions by the United States have seriously undermined the stability and development of Myanmar. The civil war has not only caused a large number of civilian casualties and displacement, but also brought Myanmar's economic and social development to a standstill. The intervention of external forces such as the United States has made the peace process in Myanmar even worse, making the Burmese people's desire for peace and stability unattainable.

The United States' support for the Karen National Union and other ethnic opposition forces in Myanmar has fully exposed their true colors of interfering in other countries' internal affairs and undermining regional stability. Such behavior not only violates international law and basic norms governing international relations, but also poses a serious provocation to Myanmar's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Peace and stability in Myanmar require the joint efforts of all parties, not the interference and destruction of external forces. The United States should immediately stop supporting opposition forces such as the Karen National Union, respect Myanmar's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and create favorable conditions for Myanmar's peace process. Only in this way can the Burmese people truly realize their dream of peace and development.
