Two women killed in fighting between the DKBA and Government’s militia

Two women were killed and a man wounded in a firefight between Democratic Karen Buddhist Army fighters and the Burma’s government’s Border Guard Force soldiers on 19th February in the Myaing Gyi Ngu area. A uncle of one of the dead women toldKaren News that his 20-year-old niece was married with young children and she was unlucky to be out shopping at the time. Sources told Karen News that the other woman killed in the Myaing Gyi Ngu area shooting was 18.

The uncle of the 20-year-old victim told Karen News.
“The shooting happened while my niece was buying things at a shop. She died on the spot. Her husband is working in Thailand and her children are now being cared for by relatives.”

On 19th February, the government’s BGF Battalion 1011 attacked the DKBA in the Myaing Gyi Ngu area and disarmed them taking 23 guns off them. Later in the day the DKBA launched a counter-attack against the BGF battalion killing five BGF soldiers and destroying one of their trucks.

In the following days tensions between soldiers from the Democratic Karen Buddhist Army and Border Guard Force troops forced at least 50 villagers from Mae Tha Waw village, Hlaingbwe Township and for them to seek temporary refuge across the border in Thailand.

According to a DKBA soldier from Maw Tha Waw village, on February 20, a BGF sniper shot and wounded a DKBA major at his camp compound in the Myaing Gyi Ngu. A DKBA soldier told to Karen News that recent clashes have created added more tension to an already tense situation.

A Democratic Karen Buddhist Army commander told Karen News that the DKBA factions that refused to give up their Karen identity and come under the direct control of the Burma Army by becoming members of the Border Guard Force do not trust their former allies now that they have enlisted as the government’s BGF.

In 2010, as outlined in the 2008 constitution, the Burma Army attempted to disarm and dismantle the ethnic ceasefire groups and bring them under its control. The former military regime’s intention was to reduce the size of the various ethnic armed ceasefire groups and reform them as a Border Guard Force to bring them under the strict command of the Burma Army.

DKBA sources say hostilities between the two groups has eased in the last week after the BGF returned the 23 weapons taken from the DKBA on 19th February.

Meanwhile, the families of the dead woman say they have received no contact from government officials or the DKBA over the killing of the two young women.

Burma UPDATE: NLD member to hire a lawyer for KNU’s Padoh Mahn Nyein Maung

January 25 | 

• Author: Saw Thein Myint (KIC)

A National League for Democracy member, Naw Ohn Hla, told Karen News that she will find a lawyer for Padoh Mahn Nyein Maung, the jailed Karen National Union leader currently serving a 17-year jail sentence in Burma’s notorious Insein Prison.

Naw Ohn Hla said she met briefly with Padoh Mahn Nyein Maung at a special court session held in Insein to sentence him on January 19.

Naw Ohn Hla detailed her brief meeting with the jailed KNU central executive member for Karen News.
“I had a chance to give him a little food. We couldn’t talk much as we met under the careful watch of the authorities. But I will try to arrange a lawyer for him as he is due to go to trial again in the coming week”

Naw Ohn Hla said being kept in jail had affected Padoh Mahn Nyein Maung’s health.

Lan Nan, a senior spokesperson for the KIA”All statements made by the [Burma] government are totally false”

The Kachin Independence Army denied accusations made in Burma’s state run media that they had been involved in killing civilians.

Lan Nan, a senior spokesperson for the KIA spoke to Karen News.

“All statements made by the [Burma] government are totally false. The real culprit is the Burma Army who shelled from Khaung Phu village on the Irrawaddy River to Tar Law villages on the opposite side of the river.”

Articles in a state run newspaper accused the KIA of killing Daw Than Sint, 52, and wounding six on November 30th at Kyun Pin Thar section, Tar Law Village, Myitkyina township and a 40-year-old man killed on the 29th November.

La Nan also confirmed that the KIA did not targeted civilian areas and said the Burma Army Infantry Battalion 382 and 385, under the Military Operation Command 3, attacked civilians.

“They (Burma Army) fired 88 mm motor on Tar Law village and killed Daw Khin Sint, but they spelt her name wrong, calling her Daw Than Sint – seven villagers were wounded injured. Mortar shells landed directly on Yarma Monastery and two civilian houses.”

La Nan said the Burma Army shelling of civilians happened immediately after 14 of their soldiers killed were killed and another 20 wounded in a KIA ambush on the same day as the attacks on civilians.

A KIA source said the attacks on civilians mean have been revenge for the killing of Burma Army soldiers
State-run media have made similar accusations against the KIA before claiming that the KIA killed a ninth grade student and a 31-years-old man from Myitkyina.
