WAR: Fierce battles continued in KIA’s 5th Brigade territory
Fighting between Kachin Independent Army (KIA) and Burmese Government Army has escalated in the past week in KIA’s 5th Brigade areas. Kachinnet reported that KIA soldiers under 5th Brigade fought against Burmese Army soldiers under 29th LIB on Feb 25, 2012 for an hour starting from 8:00am near Namsam Hka bridge. No casualties have been reported from either side.
On Feb 24, KIA soldiers of 253rd Battalions have fiercely fought against Magwe-based Burmese Army soldiers under 88th LID for seven hours starting from 6:30am in the morning. The fighting took place between Sama and Htaura Hkyet. At least 8 Burmese soldiers were reportedly killed in the battle, said front line source.
On Feb 23, a fierce battle between KIA soldiers under 5th brigade and Burmese Army’s 88th LID took place at about 4:45 pm at Bak Nan (Sama crossroad). 7 Burmese Army soldiers were killed in this battle, said source. Another fierce fighting that began at 8:15 am on Feb 23rd near Nam Ngau Hka killed at least 2 Burmese soldiers, a front line source said.
Burmese Army is largely unsuccessful in its campaign to annihilate KIA with more than 200 battalions and Light Infantry Divisions that were established to fight against foreign invasion. Though President Thein Sein ordered to halt military offences in Kachin areas, Burmese army repeatedly ignored the order and continued its offenses against KIA and Kachin civilians. There are more than 70,000 internally displaced persons currently living in perilous conditions along Sino-Burma border due to increased human right abuses in war zones.
KIO and Burmese government met for six times since renewed fighting began in last June. KIA’s Chief of Staff General Gunhtang Gam Shawng recently said there were fundamental differences in views between KIO and Burmese government. While KIO expresses its willingness to engage with Burmese government for political talks based on Panglong Agreement for political solutions, Burmese government says any political settlement should be based on 2008 constitution. Because of bitter experiences suffered during 17 years of ceasefire, General Gam Shawng says they will not seek ceasefire agreement until a lasting political settlement for equal rights and self-determination is achieved.

Minister of Union, U Khin Yi:Political exiles can request to attain Myanmar citizenship
19.febr.2012
Myanmar people, who are in different countries for various reasons, can apply to receive citizenship from the Ministry of Immigration and Population if they have the necessary proof, said a Chief official officer from the Ministry of Immigration, on the 5th February 2012 at a media meeting.
“The applicants can only request citizenship after they recant alliance from other countries. They have to send their request to a Myanmar embassy in a foreign country. We announce that Burmese people living in foreign countries can now accept Burmese citizenship” said Minister of Union, U Khin Yi.
People who want citizenship have to provide their personal information to the Myanmar Embassy in their respective countries. The embassy asks for written proof which will be checked.
If the applicant is Myanmar they can apply for citizenship and also if one’s parents are native to Myanmar citizenship applications will be considered. If the personal information provided is incomplete, applicants will be given a temporary ID card.
People who want to attain citizenship can apply to the Citizens Analysis Centre. Applicants with complete proof provided can become lawful citizens the Minister of Union said.
The opposition party analyst said they find it hard to believe the government will truly accept political exiles because they did not give amnesty to all currently imprisoned political prisoners.
Thousands of Myanmar people live abroad as refugees as well as citizens of other countries. Due to the 1988 uprising many people had to leave Myanmar to seek exile in other countries.
