Scott Mc Kiernan Presents zReportage.com Issue #933 Story of the Week: Published TUESDAY April 2, 2024: ‘FREE BURMA Rangers’ by ZUMA Partner agency Le Pictorium photo-journalist Chris Huby: For 25 years, former Special Forces officer Dave Eubank has been dodging bullets to bring humanitarian aid to rebels and civilians in Burma’s ongoing civil conflict. Critics say he blurs the lines between combat and relief work, while spreading he word of God. It is a forgotten war that has lasted for decades. In the east of Burma, along the border with Thailand, in a vast region like Belgium, the Karen populations have been fighting since 1948 against a central power which disregards the rights of ethnic minorities with unbearable brutality. Eubank, a solid Texan conservative continues his lobbying of the American Congress to support the Karen rebellion. In 2017, Eubank and his comrades took part in battles against ISIS in northern Iraq. Today, FBR has mobilized in response ”to the call of God”, the Free Burma Rangers give themselves the mission of ”liberating the oppressed” .
