Background of Kay Htoe Boe

Kay Htoe Boe is not a religion, animist, that we believe or worship. All the statue in the world always represent something, and so does Kay Htoo Boe. Nowadays, we use our literature to record everything.

At that time, our leaders wanted to make a sign or record that they have their own country, state and governor. Unfortunately, they did not have any literature to mark or record, so they created a statues called (Kay Htoe Boe) as a mark.

Kay means Country, Htoe means Completed, Boe means Pillar. If we translate it into a full sentences, it means that we completely have our own country.

You may see many toys on the top of Kay Htoe Boe. These toys are not god or gods, but they are representing everyth ing that locates in Karenni state. You may see a small house in beside the pillars. It is government house which it represent legislative, Executive and Judiciary. It used to be a big building.

Hope this helps you understand why Kay Htoe Boe has occurred.

Karenni or Kayah

Thousand of people are still wondering the words between Karenni and Kayah state. Karenni is the official name that British colonial officials' administration first used which is how we pronounce kayinni, the Burmese word for “Red Karen,”. At the same time, we also have white Karen, and black Karen. Many people argued that Red Karen is part of white Karen. Our leader didn't want to confuse the identity or definition so they used Karenni instead of Red Karen. Therefore, the reason why the KNPP adopted the word " Karenni" for their name is that there are various ethnic groups in addition to the Kayah within Kayan, Kayaw, Paku, MaNu, Manaw, Yinthaleh, and Bwe, etc.). The words ``Kayah'' have been used since 1952. Most people believed that the authoritarian wanted to blind the history that once the Karenni state was independent and was not part of Myanmar. Historically, Kayah isn’t a state, it is the ethnic group that has to live under Karenni.
