From Burma Army:
"For the hiding villagers"ť
(1) No one is allowed to live in this area.
(2) People must move to Muthey or beside the car road at the relocation site as soon as possible, by 5 May.
(3) Our troops do not want to shoot and capture.
(4) By this date (5 May) anyone who stays in this area will be shot. This is a command from above.
(5) You can come back when this area has peace.
(6) Karen soldiers, do not do work that God and angels don’t like such as putting landmines and setting ambushes. Make peace and live together happily with your family. |

[excerpt from A Letter from a Relief Team Leader, 6 May 2006]
Yesterday we lost one of our best men due to a landmine placed by the Burma Army. His name was Saw Mu (Mr. Happy). We called him Mr. Afraid because he was not. He was the Muthraw District FBR team video cameraman. He was the team counselor and volunteered for additional duty, with the Good Life Club’s children programs. He was a bright, humble and brave young man. We are saddened by his death but believe he did not die in vain and was the finest example of Karen manhood. His was a full life of giving to many and he set an example of servant leadership. He died putting a light on the current Burma Army attacks on civilians and that light is shining. |
