Two ethnic Kachin men living in Thailand protest in front of the Myanmar
embassy in Bangkok January 11, 2013. The rally comes just a week after
unprecedented aerial attacks on ethnic Kachin rebels in northern Myanmar
by the government's military.
Rebel sources had reported aerial
bombings, shelling and even the use of chemical weapons since December
28 after the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) ignored an ultimatum to stop
blocking an army supply route in the hilly, resource-rich state where
more than 50,000 people have been displaced. REUTERS/Chaiwat
