11:22 am
a holding their ground like they have for decades the most experienced fighters never believed the armed struggle would still be going but. we have fought against them for so many years so we know that myanmar will not give us a quality easily not only the karen but other ethnicities too so we have to fight for our rights but if we cannot make peace in our time it will be up to the next generation. for rebel armies disbanding permanently seems a long way off as many in this divided country continue to head in different directions wayne hay al jazeera korean state me and. a former catalan later on is calling for a dialogue with the spanish government after his release on bail and germany urged him on had been detained on an international arrest warrant but a german court refused to extradite him back to spain to face a charge of rebellion because that's not a crime in germany and some on is wanted by mentoring for his role in the illegal referendum to split catalonia from spain. donald trump has signed
