Footage out of Myanmar (Burma) reportedly filmed in November 2021 shows Karen rebels of the Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA) engaging military Junta forces with small arms.

The Buddhist Burmese government has oppressed the mostly Christian Karen people for decades, outlawing their languages, churches, and killing civilians at random. The KNLA was formed to defend the people from the government attacks.

Following the Feb. 1, 2021 Myanmar military coup against the democratically-elected government, massive protests and strikes sprung up across the country and are still ongoing. The military has responded with ever-increasing violence in an attempt to quell the demonstrations, and in places like Karen state, conduct targeting operations to arrest and disappear teachers and local government officials that, they say, are fueling the dissent.
