Myanmar: Karen minority demands protection in peace park

The Karen ethnic minority in Myanmar has been fighting for greater autonomy for 70 years.
One of the world's longest-running civil wars has displaced hundreds of thousands of people.
Now, community leaders say they are determined to be part of a peace-building process and have created a park to do just that.

Al Jazeera’s Florence Looi reports from Yangon.

There are over 10 Millions Karen people in Myanmar, like it or not. And we used to be the majority until Burmese did an ethnic cleansing. And by the way, British give us that name Karen and many don’t like it because they betrayed us. We are called “Kayaw.”

Myanmar military still attacking right now ugh why can’t they just leave us alone and let my people live in peace !!
