1948 After Myanmar gained independence from Britain, kachins also took the opportunity to demand independence. 1On February 5, 962, ethnic minority troops led by Zadan and other three brothers came to Kachin area in northern Myanmar and announced the establishment of Kachin Independence Army and independent KIC and KIO. 1in may, 987, the Burmese army carried out the largest encirclement and suppression in history. Because Zhao Mai, the then "Chairman of Kachin", carried out the policy of non-resistance, his "Central Government" was forced to retreat to Lexin, hundreds of meters away from Yingjiang County, Yunnan Province. Later, due to the sudden rainstorm in the jungle in summer, the Burmese army was prevented from continuing to attack, and the Kachin "central government" was preserved.

1In March, 989, the Burmese People's Army, the largest anti-government armed force in Myanmar, collapsed, and the Kachin Independence Army cut off its important sources of weapons, and the situation was unfavorable to the Kachin Army. So Zaomai decided to negotiate an armistice with the central government, and the armistice agreement was signed in February 1994. The area controlled by the Kachin Independence Army is called "the second special zone of Kachin State" by the Myanmar government.

Like the Burmese government, the Kachin army often mutinies because of power disputes. As early as 1975, the three brothers of Dan clashed and were all killed, and Bronson was promoted to chairman. After Bronson's death, Chairman Zao Mai later caused dissatisfaction in the army. In February, 20001,the army staged a coup, placed Zamai under house arrest, and re-elected Du Zai as chairman.

1After the ceasefire agreement was reached on February 24, 994, the Myanmar government recognized it as the second special zone of Kachin State (covering areas such as Lazha and Maizayang). Its jurisdiction is located in the northeast of Kachin State, bordering Yunnan in China and Assam in India. The control area is about 287 square kilometers, 12 counties, and the population is about150 thousand.

However, 20 years of relative peace under the leadership of Myanmar's military government did not lead to reconciliation between Kachin State and the central government.

In May 2008, Myanmar adopted a new Constitution of the Union of Myanmar and held national elections. Although the Kachin Independence Organization (KIC) decided at the "Central Committee" held before the general election in Myanmar that it would not oppose the upcoming general election in Myanmar, would not seek to separate Kachin State from the Union of Myanmar, and was willing to hold further talks with the newly established central government of Myanmar on the reorganization of the Kachin Independence Army after the general election, it could cancel the title of "Kachin Independence Army" and so on. However, there are serious differences with the central government on the issue of maintaining the integrity of the Kachin Independence Army.

On June 20 1 1, the armistice agreement was broken, which led kachins to flee to the border area, and the two sides fought in the remote northern part of Myanmar.

Since the conflict between Burmese government forces and Kachin Independence Army broke out in June, 20 1 1, the war in northern Myanmar has continued. The Myanmar government and the Kachin Independence Organization have held two rounds of peace talks in Ruili, China, with no significant results. As of 20 13 1.4, the two sides still have not reached an agreement on the third round of negotiations. Aung Min, Myanmar's minister in charge of peace talks, was optimistic that a peace agreement would be reached with the Kachin Independence Army by the end of 20 13.
