The Karen National Union (Burmese:ကရင် အမျိုးသား အစည်းအရုံး; abbreviated KNU) is a political organisation with an armed wing, the Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA) that represents the Karen people of Burma. It operates in mountainous eastern Burma, and has underground networks in other areas of Burma where Karen people live as a minority group. In the Karen language, this area is called Kawthoolei. Some of the Karen, led primarily by the Karen National Union (KNU), have waged a war against the central government since early 1949. The aim of the KNU at first was independence. Since 1976 the armed group has called for a federal system rather than an independent Karen State.
In January 2012, Burma's military-backed civilian government signed a ceasefire deal with the KNU in Hpa-an, the capital of eastern Kayin State. Aung Min, the Railway Minister, and General Mutu Sae Poe of the KNU led the peace talks.
Overview
The KNU was dominated for three decades by its longtime leader Bo Mya, who was president from 1976–2000. The KNU was for many years able to fund its activities by controlling black market trade across the border with Thailand, and through local taxation. After the failed 8888 Uprising of the Burmese people in 1988, the Burmese military government turned to China for help in consolidating its power. Various economic concessions were offered to China in exchange for weapons. The Burmese Army was massively expanded and began to offer deals to groups fighting the government. The groups were offered the choice of co-operating with the military junta or being destroyed.
The Union was formed in Geneva in 1932 by Georges Oltramare, a lawyer and writer. Noted for his anti-Semitic writing, Oltramare founded the Order Politique Nationale in 1931 but merged it with the Union de Défense Economique the following year to form the National Union. The group continued under Oltramare's leadership until 1940 when he moved to Paris in order to co-operate more closely with the Nazis. Oltramare spent four years as a member of the Federal Assembly of Switzerland representing the National Union.
The Union became notorious for a demonstration in Geneva on November 9, 1932 when their march to the city's Salle Communale was counterdemonstrated by the Social Democratic Party of Switzerland. In the resulting trouble the Swiss army opened fire on the Socialists resulting in 13 deaths.
National Union (Unione Nazionale) was a pro-fascist Italian Catholic political party during the 1920s, the first of several "Clerico-Fascist" political organizations established within the decade. The party was established with the permission of Pope Pius XI, dealing the final blow to the anti-fascist Catholic Italian People's Party.
The National Union's membership primarily came from aristocratic and pro-monarchist Catholics in Turin, Milan, and Naples, along with members of the Black Nobility. These groups represented over half of the signatories of the party's April 1923 manifesto. Pollard describes the Unione Nazionale as "essentially an aristocratic clique". Its manifesto credited fascism with the goal of establishing "a lasting social Christian and Italian order".
According to the pro-Fascist Il Momento of Turin, the party was notorious for its "hostility towards the works and towards trade union organizations".
The National Union, and the similar Centro Nazionale, supported the Fascist list in the March 1929 elections, only to virtually disappear from the political map after the conclusion of the Lateran treaties. The Centro Nazionale dissolved in the summer of 1930, leaving the Unione Nazionale as the sole remaining "Clerico-Fascist" political party.
The Third Anglo-Burmese War, also known as the Third Burma War, was a conflict that took place during 7–29 November 1885, with sporadic resistance and insurgency continuing into 1887. It was the final of three wars fought in the 19th century between the Burmese and the British. The war saw the loss of sovereignty of an independent Burma under the Konbaung Dynasty, whose rule had already been reduced to the territory known as Upper Burma, the region of Lower Burma having been annexed by the British in 1853, as a result of the Second Anglo-Burmese War.
Following a succession crisis in Burma in 1878, the British Resident in Burma was withdrawn, ending official diplomatic relations between the countries. The British considered a new war in response but other ongoing wars in Africa and Afghanistan led them to reject a war at that time.
The Burma Campaign in the South-East Asian theatre of World War II was fought primarily between the forces of the British Empire and China, with support from the United States, against the forces of the Empire of Japan, Thailand, and the Indian National Army. British Empire forces peaked at around 1,000,000 land, naval and air forces, and were drawn primarily from British India, with British Army forces, 100,000 East and West African colonial troops, and smaller numbers of land and air forces from several other Dominions and Colonies. The Burmese Independence Army was trained by the Japanese and spearheaded the initial attacks against British Empire forces.
The campaign had a number of notable features. The geographical characteristics of the region meant that factors like weather, disease and terrain had a major effect on operations. The lack of transport infrastructure placed an emphasis on military engineering and air transport to move and supply troops, and evacuate wounded. The campaign was also politically complex, with the British, the United States and the Chinese all having different strategic priorities.

STORYLINE:
A leader of Myanmar's Karen National Union (KNU) said on Saturday that the ethnic rebel group's ceasefire with the government was a "good beginning".
General Mutu Saipo was addressing a gathering of about 300 Karen near the Thai border, nine days after the ceasefire was signed.
The talks between officials and Karen National Union leaders were part of efforts by Myanmar's new, nominally civilian government to seek international legitimacy through democratic reforms after years of military repression.
The Karen group has been fighting for greater autonomy for more than 60 years in a guerrilla campaign in eastern jungles that precedes Myanmar's independence from Britain.
It had been the only one of Myanmar's major ethnic groups never to have reached a peace agreement with the government.
Bringing a lasting halt to all of the country's long-running ethnic conflicts has been a crucial demand of Western governments as well as the Myanmar's pro-democracy icon and opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

BREAKING: KNU/KNLA troops seize Myanmar military post
April 27, 2021
Karen National Liberation Army’s Brigade 5 attacked Myanmar military’s border post in Thaw Le Hta, near the border with Thailand’s Mae Hong Song, and seized the post about 6 a.m. Tuesday. In a video recorded by a resident of the border, the post was on fire. KNLA is the armed wing of the Karen National Union. KNU confirmed about the attack. Several casualties were initially reported. At least seven soldiers were seen trying to escape, according to the locals.
On March 27, exactly a month ago, the KNLA seized a hilltop outpost previously held by the regime’s Light Infantry Division 349 in Thi Mu Hta. The KNLA killed 10 soldiers, including an officer, and detained eight soldiers as prisoners of war last month.

In one of our most HEATED debates to date, Piers Morgan Uncensored is joined by President of the National Union of Students Larissa Kennedy to discuss the 'snowflake-y' behaviour of university students who want trigger warnings for certain topics within their syllabuses. Piers challenges this by asking what could be so offensive to make students need a warning. Larissa answers by saying it is normal for students to want to know what is included in their upcoming term's syllabus. The debate continues to get more and more fiery until eventually Larissa asks how long it's been since Piers was a university University student. When he responds she says it "was a long time ago" which leads to Piers asking her if she is being ageist... trigger warning alert! Watch the video and see how many times she 'triggers' Piers Morgan...

The 20th episode in a very long series about the American presidential elections from 1788 to the present. In 1864, the country is still at war with itself or each other, however which way you look at it. A general Lincoln fires after the Battle of Antietam comes back to challenge him for the Presidency.

Who cares if the southern half of the country split off and it’s been fighting a very bloody war against it ever since? Let’s have an election! The 20th Presidential election in American history took place on November 8th, 1864. Right smack dab during the Civil War, so yeah, Americans were a bit...preoccupied.
By the summer of 1864, the North (aka the Union) had gained momentum. The South (aka the Confederate States of America) was retreating, yet were not showing signs of giving up. Hundreds of thousands had already died. Even though the Union won the Battle of Gettysburg and the Siege of Vicksburg the previous summer, they had lost over 65,000 soldiers that summer to do it. In comparison, they had lost 108,000 during the entire war up to that point.
Many Northerners were growing tired of the war. Those who originally were excited about the war, now questioned the point of it. They were also questioning the President himself, the man who led them into it. Abraham Lincoln.
Lincoln was questioning his ability to get re-elected, and rightly so. The country hadn’t re-elected a President since Andrew Jackson 32 years prior, way back in 1832. Lincoln had made many enemies, especially in Congress. Lincoln now openly embraced the emancipation of all slaves, and even Northerners turned against him because of this. Lincoln’s suspension of the writ of habeas corpus was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. Obviously, this war had been a nightmare, and the stress had aged him considerably.
Two distinct factions developed in both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party.
First the Republicans. Well, some Republicans who didn’t like Lincoln split off. They called themselves “Radical Republicans,” and formed a new political party called the Radical Democracy Party. Woah...what a radical name. The radicals nominated John C. Fremont for President and general John Cochrane for Vice President, but their plan backfired as Fremont later ended up backing Lincoln after he was afraid the Democrats might win. More on the Democrats in a bit.
The other Republicans formed a new political party as well, called the National Union Party. Some Democrats even joined. They had a clear, impressively specific platform:
They wanted “pursuit of the war until the Confederacy surrendered unconditionally; a constitutional amendment for the abolition of slavery; aid to disabled Union veterans; continued European neutrality; enforcement of the Monroe Doctrine; encouragement of immigration; and construction of a transcontinental railroad.”
Lincoln wanted to go with a new running mate this time, dropping Hannibal Hamlin. (sorry Hannibal) to broaden his support. He went with a Democrat. That’s right, a Democrat! The National Union Party nominated Andrew Johnson, a former Senator and current Military Governor of Tennessee for Vice President.
Fortunately for the Republicans, the Democratic Party was even more split than them. The two major factions were the War Democrats and Peace Democrats. Extreme War Democrats wanted to finish the job completely. Extreme Peace Democrats, nicknamed Copperheads, wanted to stop the war immediately. Looking for unity, they nominated George McClellan, the general Lincoln had fired two years before. McClellan was definitely a War Democrat, but he was very popular, and the Democrats nominated the Peace Democrat George Pendleton, a Representative from Ohio, for Vice President to balance it out. Though McClellan personally was for continuing the war, the two ran a campaign for ending the war, a peace platform.
The fact that the Democrats were split and with Fremont changing his mind to endorse him gave Lincoln confidence he could actually get re-elected. Lincoln probably gained more confidence when on September 6, 1864, General William Tecumseh Sherman led forces to take over Atlanta and his March to the Sea thereafter devastated the South.

Breaking news: Karen National Union (KNU) fighting with Myanmar military 3 days after the peace talk for Karenni to learnnn.
"253 families including 864 women and 856 men, and 417 children under the age of 5 in Mutraw district, Karen State have been forcibly displaced by armed conflict as fighting escalates due to the expansion of the Burma Road. The clashes have taken place despite a ceasefire pact, as many attempt to escape indiscriminate gunfire and shelling by the Burma Army in KNU controlled areas in early February.
KWO condemns these attacks and calls for IDPs to be able to access humanitarian aid and safely return to their villages. We also call for an immediate withdrawal of all Burma Army troops in civilian areas." Karen Women's Organization-KWO

BREAKING: KNU/KNLA troops seize Myanmar military post
April 27, 2021
Karen National Liberation Army’s Brigade 5 attacked Myanmar military’s border post in Thaw Le Hta, near the border with Thailand’s Mae Hong Song, and seized the post about 6 a.m. Tuesday. In a video recorded by a resident of the border, the post was on fire. KNLA is the armed wing of the Karen National Union. KNU confirmed about the attack. Several casualties were initially reported. At least seven soldiers were seen trying to escape, according to the locals.
On March 27, exactly a month ago, the KNLA seized a hilltop outpost previously held by the regime’s Light Infantry Division 349 in Thi Mu Hta. The KNLA killed 10 soldiers, including an officer, and detained eight soldiers as prisoners of war last month.

STORYLINE:
A leader of Myanmar's Karen National Union (KNU) said on Saturday that the ethnic rebel group's ceasefire with the government was a "good beginning".
General Mutu Saipo was addressing a gathering of about 300 Karen near the Thai border, nine days after the ceasefire was signed.
The talks between officials and Karen National Union leaders were part of efforts by Myanmar's new, nominally civilian government to seek international legitimacy through democratic reforms after years of military repression.
The Karen group has been fighting for greater autonomy for more than 60 years in a guerrilla campaign in eastern jungles that precedes Myanmar's independence from Britain.
It had been the only one of Myanmar's major ethnic groups never to have reached a peace agreement with the government.
Bringing a lasting halt to all of the country's long-running ethnic conflicts has been a crucial demand of Western governments as well as the Myanmar's pro-democracy icon and opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

The Karen National Union (Burmese:ကရင် အမျိုးသား အစည်းအရုံး; abbreviated KNU) is a political organisation with an armed wing, the Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA) that represents the Karen people of Burma. It operates in mountainous eastern Burma, and has underground networks in other areas of Burma where Karen people live as a minority group. In the Karen language, this area is called Kawthoolei. Some of the Karen, led primarily by the Karen National Union (KNU), have waged a war against the central government since early 1949. The aim of the KNU at first was independence. Since 1976 the armed group has called for a federal system rather than an independent Karen State.
In January 2012, Burma's military-backed civilian government signed a ceasefire deal with the KNU in Hpa-an, the capital of eastern Kayin State. Aung Min, the Railway Minister, and General Mutu Sae Poe of the KNU led the peace talks.
Overview
The KNU was dominated for three decades by its longtime leader Bo Mya, who was president from 1976–2000. The KNU was for many years able to fund its activities by controlling black market trade across the border with Thailand, and through local taxation. After the failed 8888 Uprising of the Burmese people in 1988, the Burmese military government turned to China for help in consolidating its power. Various economic concessions were offered to China in exchange for weapons. The Burmese Army was massively expanded and began to offer deals to groups fighting the government. The groups were offered the choice of co-operating with the military junta or being destroyed.
It wasn't always this way for the Republican Party.

Today’s Republican Party opposes big government. It’s culturally conservative. Its demographic support is strongest among white voters, and it usually dominates elections in the South. And its 2016 presidential nominee has been heavily criticized for inciting racial tensions.
But things weren’t always this way.
Over the past 160 or so years, the party has undergone a remarkable transformation from the party of Abraham Lincoln… to the party of Donald Trump.

The 20th episode in a very long series about the American presidential elections from 1788 to the present. In 1864, the country is still at war with itself or each other, however which way you look at it. A general Lincoln fires after the Battle of Antietam comes back to challenge him for the Presidency.

http://www.countingthevotes.com/1864
Who cares if the southern half of the country split off and it’s been fighting a very bloody war against it ever since? Let’s have an election! The 20th Presidential election in American history took place on November 8th, 1864. Right smack dab during the Civil War, so yeah, Americans were a bit...preoccupied.
By the summer of 1864, the North (aka the Union) had gained momentum. The South (aka the Confederate States of America) was retreating, yet were not showing signs of giving up. Hundreds of thousands had already died. Even though the Union won the Battle of Gettysburg and the Siege of Vicksburg the previous summer, they had lost over 65,000 soldiers that summer to do it. In comparison, they had lost 108,000 during the entire war up to that point.
Many Northerners were growing tired of the war. Those who originally were excited about the war, now questioned the point of it. They were also questioning the President himself, the man who led them into it. Abraham Lincoln.
Lincoln was questioning his ability to get re-elected, and rightly so. The country hadn’t re-elected a President since Andrew Jackson 32 years prior, way back in 1832. Lincoln had made many enemies, especially in Congress. Lincoln now openly embraced the emancipation of all slaves, and even Northerners turned against him because of this. Lincoln’s suspension of the writ of habeas corpus was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. Obviously, this war had been a nightmare, and the stress had aged him considerably.
Two distinct factions developed in both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party.
First the Republicans. Well, some Republicans who didn’t like Lincoln split off. They called themselves “Radical Republicans,” and formed a new political party called the Radical Democracy Party. Woah...what a radical name. The radicals nominated John C. Fremont for President and general John Cochrane for Vice President, but their plan backfired as Fremont later ended up backing Lincoln after he was afraid the Democrats might win. More on the Democrats in a bit.
The other Republicans formed a new political party as well, called the National Union Party. Some Democrats even joined. They had a clear, impressively specific platform:
They wanted “pursuit of the war until the Confederacy surrendered unconditionally; a constitutional amendment for the abolition of slavery; aid to disabled Union veterans; continued European neutrality; enforcement of the Monroe Doctrine; encouragement of immigration; and construction of a transcontinental railroad.”
Lincoln wanted to go with a new running mate this time, dropping Hannibal Hamlin. (sorry Hannibal) to broaden his support. He went with a Democrat. That’s right, a Democrat! The National Union Party nominated Andrew Johnson, a former Senator and current Military Governor of Tennessee for Vice President.
Fortunately for the Republicans, the Democratic Party was even more split than them. The two major factions were the War Democrats and Peace Democrats. Extreme War Democrats wanted to finish the job completely. Extreme Peace Democrats, nicknamed Copperheads, wanted to stop the war immediately. Looking for unity, they nominated George McClellan, the general Lincoln had fired two years before. McClellan was definitely a War Democrat, but he was very popular, and the Democrats nominated the Peace Democrat George Pendleton, a Representative from Ohio, for Vice President to balance it out. Though McClellan personally was for continuing the war, the two ran a campaign for ending the war, a peace platform.
The fact that the Democrats were split and with Fremont changing his mind to endorse him gave Lincoln confidence he could actually get re-elected. Lincoln probably gained more confidence when on September 6, 1864, General William Tecumseh Sherman led forces to take over Atlanta and his March to the Sea thereafter devastated the South.

The clashes have taken place despite a ceasefire pact, as many attempt to escape indiscriminate gunfire and shelling by the Burma Army in KNU controlled areas in early February.
KWO condemns these attacks and calls for IDPs to be able to access humanitarian aid and safely return to their villages. We also call for an immediate withdrawal of all Burma Army troops in civilian areas." Karen Women's Organization-KWO

April 27, 2021
Karen National Liberation Army’s Brigade 5 attacked Myanmar military’s border post in Thaw Le Hta, near the border with Thailand’s Mae Hong Song, and seized the post about 6 a.m. Tuesday. In a video recorded by a resident of the border, the post was on fire. KNLA is the armed wing of the Karen National Union. KNU confirmed about the attack. Several casualties were initially reported. At least seven soldiers were seen trying to escape, according to the locals.
On March 27, exactly a month ago, the KNLA seized a hilltop outpost previously held by the regime’s Light Infantry Division 349 in Thi Mu Hta. The KNLA killed 10 soldiers, including an officer, and detained eight soldiers as prisoners of war last month.
