Like many other ethnic groups, they have waged an armed struggle against the Burmese government since 1963.After the Palaung State Liberation Organization signed a ceasefire with the former military government in 1991 (and disarmed in 2005), another Palaung army known as the Taang National Liberation Army (TNLA) was established by the Palaung State Liberation Front (PSLF) to continue the fight for equality and self-determination.With 1,500 troops today, the TNLA has no fixed headquarters but runs mobile operations in northern Shan State. They fight alongside other ethnic rebel groups, including the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) and the Shan State Army (SSA). ::-.+.;::,:--.-:; ANTI-MILITARY DICTATORSHIP - CLASSIC Polaris Burmese Library Collections Vol. 548 The Fight For Freedom in Burma Democracy and Human Rights Without Borders
