This picture taken on September 22, 2012 shows a soldier from the All Burma Students Democratic Front - Northern Burma (ABSDF-NB), an ally of the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) holding his weapon as he looks out from an outpost on the Laja Yang frontline, some 10 kilometres south of Laiza, a town in Myanmar's northern Kachin state home to the ethnic Kachin rebels' headquarters. As fighting rages between Myanmar's army and ethnic Kachin rebels, tens of thousands of displaced people have found themselves trapped between a conflict on one side and an unsympathetic China on the other.
