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.
A Political Timeline of the Kachin National Organization
9th Jan 1999 - Establishment of Kachin National Organisation due to Burma militarization in Kachin State during the Kachin Independence Organisation and the State Law and Restoration Council (SLORC), demanded to form free and fair federal union of Burma.
1999 - 2011 - A member of the Ethnic National Council (ENC), drafted Constitution of Kachin State, a member of Federal Constitution Drafting Committee
2011 - 2019 - A member of United Nationalities for Federal Council (UNFC)
2019 - Current - The KNO exhausted to achieve the federal Union of Burma. The KNO's party congress meeting held between 9th to 11th Jan 2019 in Thailand profoundly adopted the mandate to seek full liberation State from Burma occupation, its chauvinism and free from decades of their oppression.
