Interview: Daniel Pedersen talks with journalist Monica Kotwani about the Karen conflict
Daniel Pedersen
For sixty years the Karen have been fighting the ruling junta in Rangoon and the regime has responded by attempting their systematic extermination.
The Burma military has raped and murdered the Karen, and destroyed their property and livelihoods, forcing refugees to work for the army.
Pedersen examines the reasons behind the ongoing conflict and why the Karen struggle is being ignored by the outside world.

"Secret Genocide is a scholarly book on the plight of the Karen of Burma. Author Daniel Pedersen writes about the secret genocide of the Karen people at the hands of the Burmese junta, who use murder, rape, forced labour and torture to quell their enemies. Decades after the Karen took up arms against Rangoon; there is no telling when - or if - their struggle for a secure homeland will finally be accomplished"
