Kachin National Organization
About Kachin National Organization
The Kachin National Organization is a political organization founded on the 9th of January 1999. This formation was the result of extensive discussion between the overseas Kachins and some of the elders from the Kachin Homeland.
Since the cease-fire agreement on the 24th of February 1994, the Burmese Military dictatorship has steadily built up garrisons in our country with the clear intention to continue and establish military occupation.
Contrary to people’s expectations, the Kachin Homeland today is without security due to the lack of definitive political policies. There is no economic opportunity amidst rampant inflation and people are reduced to the lowest level of subsistence. Equally lacking are proper healthcare and education.
This is an insidious destruction of the Kachins and at the same time a devious way of identifying the Kachin Homeland with Burma.
The chief objectives of the Kachin National Organization are to regain the inalienable rights of the people by establishing an liberated free Kachin Homeland and restore their pride and freedom.
