An unidentified diplomat examines a gun at a display by Myanmar's Police Force of weapons seized from Kokang ethnic rebels in Laukkai, capital of Myanmar's Kokang region, September 8, 2009. Myanmar's military regime is stepping up efforts to show its neighbours that armed ethnic separatists on its border are under control after violent clashes that sent thousands of refugees pouring into China. The normally reclusive junta invited a group of more than 50 observers to the Kokang region bordering China, an ethnic Chinese enclave the military says is now under its control after decades of rebellion to Yangon's rule.
