Pro-democracy opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi makes way through crowd after her release from house arrest • • STORYLINE: • • Ethnic Karen guerrillas attacked a Myanmar government base close to the border with Thailand on Friday, just ahead of a landmark visit to the country by Australia's Foreign Minister, Alexander Downer. • • Around sixty rebels from the 6th Brigade of the Karen National Liberation Army (K-N-L-A) pounded the base with mortar and heavy machine-gun fire. • • The Karen are one of Myanmar's largest ethnic minorities and have been fighting the Myanmar government for independence for their own state for more than fifty years. • • Thousands have died on both sides and the conflict shows no sign of abating. • • Friday's attack was on Walley, a settlement and military base just across the border from Thailand's Tak province. • • The purpose of assault was to unsettle the government troops and remind them of the K-N-L-A's existence. • • It lasted less than an hour and it isn't known if there were any casualties. • • The overall strength of the K-N-L-A is unknown. • • Most observers think they number no more than a few thousand - a huge drop from their heyday when their forces controlled large swathes of territory. • • These days the poorly equipped guerrillas stay on the move so as to present less of a target to their enemies. • • The incident is a reminder that the ethnic question is one of the biggest problems facing Myanmar, where several main ethnic groups are all demanding some degree of autonomy, • • It's one that Downer may want to discuss during his landmark two-day stay in capital Yangon. • • He'll be the first minister from a developed country to visit the military state since pro-democracy demonstrators were massacred by the army in 1988. • • Last week in Bangkok, Myanmar's Foreign Minister Win Aung said he welcomed the visit and the opportunities it would bring for discussions. • • Pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi will is of the leading figures on Downer is set to meet. • • Last week she voiced her frustration at the lack of dialogue with the military government since her release from house arrest in May. • • The rulers have promised to bring in a multi-party democratic system but so far have made no obvious moves • towards it. • • Find out more about AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/HowWeWork • Twitter: / ap_archive • Facebook: / aparchives • Instagram: / apnews • • • You can license this story through AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/you...
