Jonah Fisher in Myanmar reports on the renewed fighting between the Burmese army and ethnic Chinese rebels in Kokang, a lawless area near the Chinese border.
Things had calmed down after a deal had been struck between the military junta and the rebel leader, Phone Kya-Shin, who established Burma's first heroin factory. He ended up having to leave for exile in China and now aged 84 many thought he had died. Not so. He has returned to Burma, made a comeback, and the armed conflict has flared up again, with civilians coming under fire, too.
