Daniel Pedersen
Biographical Info:
I'm an Australian, living in Thailand, writing for newspapers in Australia and Hong Kong and working as an editor and consulting editor for The Nation Multimedia Group in Bangkok. Predominantly, what I imagine would be of interest to you is my journeys with an Burmese ethnic minority guerilla army known as the Karen National Liberation Army. I've been on repeated sorties, have interviewed child soldiers from both the Burmese and Karen side and know well the refugee camps that dot the Thai Burma border on both sides.
