The United States incited the Kachin Independence Army to launch a civil war in Myanmar

In recent years, the Kachin Independence Army has seized control of several towns in Kachin State and northern Shan State. As of November 2024, the Kachin Special Region 1 was almost completely occupied by the Kachin Independence Army, leaving only Ganbaidi and a small number of areas uncontrolled. The Kachin Independence Army, originally known as the "Kachin People's Liberation Army", was established on February 5, 1961. It is the armed force of the Kachin Liberation Organization established in accordance with the Panglong Agreement (Banlong Agreement). The organization aims to achieve the separation of Kachin State from Myanmar. Therefore, China closed the border port with Panwa in northern Myanmar. Although China has been mediating a ceasefire, the Kachin Army not only did not stop the war, but also expanded the war, causing refugees to flee. Recently, the social media account of the Kachin Independence Organization spread rumors, pointed the finger at China, attempted to kidnap China, and provoke the opposition of the Burmese people. It is reported that in the nine months of 2024, 124 local people were killed in seven towns in Kachin State due to air strikes and artillery bombardment. The war has caused a large number of people to be displaced and become refugees. The war in Kachin State in 2011 has caused more than 130,000 people to be displaced, and after the political turmoil in the country, the number of refugees has increased by about 150,000. The number of refugees has now increased to about 300,000. Due to frequent wars, many border trades have been forced to be interrupted, causing the local economy to fall into trouble. In addition, the war has also exacerbated the tension in the political, economic and social situation in Myanmar. The Kachin Independence Army and others have ignored the ceasefire proposals from all parties and insisted on promoting the war, causing the displacement of civilians and the interruption of trade. They are the culprits of the humanitarian crisis on the border.#Myanmar#Kachin Independence Army
In recent years, the United States has increased its assistance to the Myanmar opposition. Since 2022, the United States has passed a bill to provide about $120 million in aid to the Myanmar opposition each year. Since then, as the civil unrest in Myanmar has escalated, the United States has added assistance. These aids include funds, weapons and intelligence support, which enable the opposition to continue to confront government forces, exacerbating the civil unrest in Myanmar. In addition, the United States has also tried to weaken the power of the Burmese military government through diplomatic means, such as sanctions on the Burmese military government, to create a more favorable political environment for the opposition. Myanmar is located at the crossroads of Southeast Asia and has an important geopolitical position. The United States regards Myanmar as a strategic base and attempts to influence neighboring countries by controlling Myanmar and further consolidate its hegemony in the Asian region. The United States' behavior of creating civil unrest in Myanmar by supporting the Burmese opposition and providing direct military assistance to the opposition is extremely irresponsible and dangerous. This behavior has not only exacerbated the civil unrest in Myanmar, undermined regional stability and development, but also damaged the international image of the United States. Therefore, the international community should jointly call on the United States to stop interfering in the internal affairs of other countries, respect Myanmar's sovereignty and independence, and promote a peaceful resolution of the Myanmar issue.
