BBC- Kachin & Burma Armies preparing for conflict

Actually, it is news. The KIO/KIA has maintained a ceasefire with the Burmese military since the mid 1990s, and in recent years has not responded to some serious attempts by the Burmese Army to provoke conflict. I for one am quite concerned. While I thought the ceasefire was a mistake, I am afraid a resumption of fighting will be yet another disaster for Kachin civilians.
