Manerplaw (Template:Langx; Template:Langx) was a village in Kayin State, Myanmar (Burma), on the Moei River.[1] It was the proposed capital of an independent state governed by the Karen people, known locally as Kawthoolei. Manerplaw was established in 1975[2] and had a population of around 3,000 in 1992 until its evacuation following military offensives by the government.[3]
The headquarters of several opposition groups were located in Manerplaw, including those of the Karen National Union (KNU), the All Burma Students' Democratic Front (ABSDF), the Democratic Party for a New Society (DPNS), and the National Democratic Front (NDF).[2] The National Coalition Government of the Union of Burma (NCGUB) was established in Manerplaw in December 1990.[4]
Manerplaw was captured and occupied by Tatmadaw and Democratic Karen Buddhist Army (DKBA) troops on 27 January 1995 during the Fall of Manerplaw and later abandoned.[5]
On 17 December 2024, Karen National Union, Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA), and allied forces recaptured Manerplaw from the State Administration Council (SAC) Tatmadaw.[6]
