==History==<br />
The Kuki National Army (KNA) was founded on 24 February 1988 with the goal of creating a separate state administered by the [[Kuki people]] in [[India]] and [[Myanmar]] (Burma). From its formation to 2013, the KNA was involved in 20 armed confrontations with the [[Tatmadaw]] (Myanmar Armed Forces).<ref name="MMPM" /><br />
<br />
After the [[2010 Myanmar general election|2010 Burmese general election]], pressure from other Kuki organisations forced the KNA to separate its Indian and Burmese wings, the latter of which was renamed and abbreviated KNA(B).<ref name="MMPM" /><br />
