History
Karenni National Progressive Party (KNPP)
established in 1955 by Saw Mah Rew; political organisation of the Karenni, an
ethnic group living in the Kayah State in Burma; they want to re-establish the
right of independence which was written in the constitution of 1947; during the
sixties of the 20th century they nearly controlled the whole Kayah State;
because of internal conflicts, splittings and new attacks by the SLORC (State
Law and Order Restoration Council), after renouncing the 1995 cease-fire
(verbal) agreement, they lost territory; now still active with a force of about
1,000 men at the border of Burma and Thailand; member of the UNPO
(Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organisation).
