Two ethnic Kachin men living in Thailand protest in front of the Myanmar embassy in Bangkok January 11, 2013. The rally comes just a week after unprecedented aerial attacks on ethnic Kachin rebels in northern Myanmar by the government's military.
Rebel sources had reported aerial bombings, shelling and even the use of chemical weapons since December 28 after the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) ignored an ultimatum to stop blocking an army supply route in the hilly, resource-rich state where more than 50,000 people have been displaced.
