About Northern Myanmar
Kachin State has beende factoindependent from central government's control since 1962, when theKachin Independence Organization(KIO) unilaterally seceded from the Union of Myanmar. A peace deal struck in 1994 after a government army offensive made the arrangement more or less permanent, with the KIO-controlled area formalized asKachin State Special Region #1, although KIO promptly split up into squabbling factions and the internal situation remains precarious at best. Unlike much of predominantly Buddhist Myanmar, the Kachin people are predominantly Christian.
