New clashes between the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) and Burmese government troops took place on July 2nd and 3rd in different parts of Kachin State, despite efforts by both sides to negotiate a ceasefire on June 17 and 30th during meetings between representatives from the KIA and Burmese government.

On July 2nd the Mohnyin Township, Sinbo-based, KIA Battalion 5 and Burmese troops clashed after Burmese soldiers tried to enter the KIA controlled area. At least 20 Burmese soldiers died, according to an unnamed source.

In Northern Shan State, KIA Battalion 9, under command of KIA Brigade 4, attacked a truck which carried around 10 Burmese soldiers while entering the KIA controlled area. The truck was destroyed and all the soldiers riding in the truck died.

Heavy fighting between KIA Battalion 15 and the Burmese government’s Infantry Battalion (IB) No. 236 and Light Infantry Battalion (LIB) No. 348, and IB No. 144 took place in the evening of July 3rd at Sang Gang Valley, in N’mawk Township in Manmaw (Bhamo) district, when Burmese troops tried to deploy into the area near the KIA army camp.

Burmese troops fired heavy weapons during the fighting at Sang Gang. However, the number of casualties from both sides is still unknown.

Dweh Loe township in Papun district say:Burma: Children forced to carry frontline supplies

The Burma government has repeatedly denied the use of forced labor to international organisations, but villagers from Dweh Loe township in Papun district say the Burma army has forced men, women and including children, some as young as 11 to porter rations for their troops.

In March 2010, in his report to the UN Human Rights Council, Tomas Ojea Quintana, the special rapporteur for Myanmar, detailed a “pattern of gross and systematic violation of human rights which has been in place for many years.”

In January this year the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva examined Burma’s human rights record as part of its first Universal Periodic Review (UPR). Burma’s delegation, led by Deputy Attorney General Dr. Tun Shin, categorically denied state-orchestrated widespread, systematic and persistent human rights violations against the people of Burma.

Meanwhile in eastern Burma the army continued to abuse civilians. In a four-month period beginning in early January until the end of April this year, the Burma army used a rotation system where they forced civilians from 10 villages in Dweh Lo Township in Papun district to carry army supplies.

Light Infantry Brigade 215 and Infantry Brigade 96 of South Eastern Command run the army camps located in Win Maunge village.  The camps have a combined strength of about 400 soldiers. In order to supply their outposts on the frontlines, they rely on forcing villagers to be porters.

A 22-year-old villager, who was forced to be a porter told Karen News he saw people as young as 11 and as old as 60, forced to porter.

“Our village was ordered that every household had to transport five sacks of rice. My father and my 16-year-old brother and I had to carry the sacks. I also saw children as old as 11 being used as porters. It took us a one-day round trip place to carry the supplies to the camp. Young children had to be helped by their parents’ as they got tired. They [Burma army] ordered the village head to arrange the porter roster. No one wanted to go, we go out of fear…we have no choice.” Continue reading “Dweh Loe township in Papun district say:Burma: Children forced to carry frontline supplies” →
