The Burmese government is using a divide and conquer strategy against these ethnic groups. If the government can't give them a fair treatment as citizens of Myanmar, why not give the Kachin people their right for self-determination? Kachin state was anyway not part of Myanmar/Burma, not even ruled by its kings, until Myanmar's British colonizers administered Kachin as a separate political entity. There is no end at sight for the world's longest rebellion.
