Description: |
|
The Karen, Kayin, Kariang or Yang people refer to a number of
individual Sino-Tibetan language speaking ethnic groups, many of
which do not share a common language or culture. These Karen
groups reside primarily in Karen State, southern and
southeastern Myanmar. The Karen make up approximately 7 percent
of the total Burmese population with approximately 5 million
people.A large number of Karen have migrated to Thailand, having
settled mostly on the Thailand–Myanmar border. The Karen
groups as a whole are often confused with the Padaung tribe,
best known for the neck rings worn by their women, but they are
just one sub-group of Red Karens (Karenni), one of the tribes of
Kayah in Kayah State, Myanmar.
Some of the Karen, led
primarily by the Karen National Union (KNU), have waged a war
against the central Burmese government since early 1949. The aim
of the KNU at first was independence. Since 1976 the armed group
has called for a federal system rather than an independent Karen
State. |
