Kuki National Army


The Kuki National Army is a Kuki insurgent group active in Northeast India and northwest Myanmar. It is the armed wing of the Kuki National Organisation.

History

The Kuki National Army was founded on 24 February 1988 with the goal of creating a separate state administered by the Kuki people in India and Myanmar. From its formation to 2013, the KNA was involved in 20 armed confrontations with the Tatmadaw.
After the 2010 Burmese general election, pressure from other Kuki organisations forced the KNA to separate its Indian and Burmese wings, the latter of which was renamed and abbreviated KNA.

Leadership

The KNA operates two armed wings, one in India and one in Myanmar.
