Kayin State

Malaysia repatriates nearly 1,500 refugees.

And flooding has killed 41, while fighting and airstrikes continue across Kaya, Kayin and Sagaing.

A regime air strike on a market in Rakhine state on Monday killed at least 50 civilians and injured 58 others.

The victims included a pregnant woman and a four-year-old boy.

All they need to be careful about is the military's airstrikes and shooting with arbitrary weapons.

When we travel along the Karen state border, the local Karen people called us Kala.

To them, that word isn't used as a discriminatory term.

They are truly lovely people.

Aung Zeya and two members from FVM joined the Free Burma Rangers FBR training in 2023.

We married in December 2023.

Since we got married, the fighting in Karen State has never stopped, so most of the time he was away from home.

I think we didn't even get to spend five months together, even though we have been married for more than two years.

Some people are also transported directly from detention into the military units.

Since forced recuse began in 2024, we estimate that approximately 5,700 people have been already conscripted in Mon State, and between 3,600 to 4,800 in Karen State, and between 4,700 to 5,200 in Peninday area.

These are estimates, not a complete census.

Many people take at the checkpoints or transfer through the military facility cannot be traced.
