The Wa Are People, Not Gangs

August 6, 1999
Rangoon Post


The Wa are people, not gangs as AP's Micool Brooke's presents. They
inhabit a northern Shan state area near China.

It MAY be that the Wa have a majority drug control or gangs, but the Wa
people themselves are not gangs.  Also note, the drug problem would be
less if the Burmese junta would leave the ethnic groups alone to govern
themselves as many prefer to do.
