Myanmar guerrilla leader warns of major unrest
Myanmar's military junta faces a major uprising in the near
future because of economic crisis and growing political instability,
a rebel leader said in a letter made available in Bangkok on
Thursday.
Bo Mya, leader of the Karen National Union (KNU), a major
guerrilla force against the government in Yangon, said people in
Myanmar are growing ever more discontent because of high inflation
and high commodity prices, particularly for rice.
