  • in the mountains of northern Burma, soldiers in the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) face off against Burmese positions

    Territorial conflicts arose between the Burmese and the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) because the Burmese want the KIA's land which is abundant in resources such as timber and hydropower. Is it possible for there to be peace between the two groups after all the violence and fighting that took place?

    I agree, I do not see peace between the two groups happening soon. The Burmese won't give up until they get the KIA's land, but the KIA will most definitely put up a fight. In my opinion, the Burmese don't have any right to the land. The KIA own it and therefore they should not have to share their resources.

    The theme of mobility is presented as the outbreak of Ebola causes the country of Senegal to close its borders with Guinea. This deadly and highly contagious disease has diffused throughout the population in Senegal and other countries. The pandemic has caused worldwide fear. Will closing the borders really be effective in blocking the spread of Ebola? Is Ebola able to be cured and, if not, are we trying to find a cure?
