A soldier from the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) puts on his shoes as he and his comrade cross a stream towards the front line in Laiza, Kachin state, January 29, 2013. Myanmar's government started talks with top commanders of the KIA rebel group in China on February 4, 2013 to try to rescue a faltering peace process and end one of the country's bloodiest ethnic conflicts. KIA is fighting for autonomy for Kachin state within a federal Myanmar, which successive governments of the ethnically diverse country have long rejected. Picture taken January 29, 2013.
