the Kachins are predominantly Christian and were faithful allies of the US against Japan during WWII.

The fighting began between soldiers from the Kokang minority group and government troops, but it broadened to involve at least two more groups, the Wa and the Kachin. All three groups oppose the central government.

Another mess from English imperialism...Is this sarcasm? If not, let me point out that the British brought some respite to Burma's minority groups from oppression by majority Burmese in the Burmese empire. Once Albion's shield was withdrawn, of course, it was open season on these minority groups again.
