[edit] Problems with history section

The history section needs to be rewritten. Its both wrong and overtly political.

[edit] Flag of Kachin State

Please check for the accuracy of the flag for Kachin State. The present version is not consistent with FOTW Flag of the Worlds' Database: http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/mm-kachi.html

[edit] Removed passage

I removed this passage from the history section:

Currently, the Kachin Independence Organization is supporting the Burmese regime's sham National Convention. While the KIO in private does not believe that elections will ever happen, its agreements with the government have led to what it considers a better situation than the alternative of continued war. In public, the KIO is hoping to participate in future election after constitution has completed that guaranteed Burmese military regime 25% of reserved seats in central puppet government, according to Gauri Zau Seng, vice-Chairman of KIO/KIA.

Right or wrong, it's obviously, egregiously not NPOV, as well as being totally unsourced. I don't doubt that there are other examples in the article, but this was the most flagrant. · rodii · 18:07, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
