<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Brigadier General '''Saw Kyar Doe''' was a Karen military officer who served as the first deputy [[Commander-in-Chief of Myanmar Army|Chief of Army Staff]] from 4 January 1948 to 31 July 1948. He was replaced with General [[Ne Win]] in August 1948. So he moved to the post of Chief of Operations but was forced to retire when Karen insurgents began their war for independence from Burma. Burman-led government forces and Karens engaged in a fierce fight in Rangoon's [[Insein Township]] in January 1962. The battle was known as the Battle of Insein. As a result, Burma leaders no longer trusted the Karen, and high-ranking Karen general [[Smith Dun]] and his fellow Karen troops were removed from their positions.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Myay |first=Chan |date=2013-11-12 |title=The Forgotten General of Burma’s Army |url=https://www.irrawaddy.com/news/burma/forgotten-general-burmas-army.html |access-date=2022-12-22 |website=The Irrawaddy |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=New Burma Army, 1945-1949 |url=http://www.rothwell.force9.co.uk/burmaweb/BurmaArmy1945-49.htm |access-date=2022-12-22 |website=www.rothwell.force9.co.uk}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Mike |date=2020-10-22 |title=Elections in History {{!}} Myanmar Election Commissions’ Track Record Mixed at Best Over Past 30 Years |url=https://www.irrawaddy.com/elections-in-history/myanmar-election-commissions-track-record-mixed-best-past-30-years.html |access-date=2022-12-22 |website=The Irrawaddy |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Than |first=U.
