As the COVID-19 response in Myanmar falls after a military coup on February 1, an armed ethnic organization in the north of the country has deployed 20,000 people in areas that quietly govern, with cross-border support from China.
The Chinese company Sinovac Biotech has been produced by the Chinese Red Cross Association with the support of members of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
KIO is one of 20 ethnic armed organizations operating across Myanmar’s borders with China, Thailand and India. Many of them have corrected their COVID-19 responses since the beginning of the pandemic.
Despite the escalation of unrest and civil wars since the coup, the KIO and Karen National Union (KNU), two of the country’s most established ethnic armed organizations, have told Al Jazeera to stay as long as possible.
