The war has temporarily postponed the Shweli Dam (2) Construction
Posted by ααα္းေαာ;ေαွဲα္း on 9:15:00 AM
On 15th June, Burmese military Infantry battalion (144) and KIA troops had been fighting near the Shweli Dam. According to reports of the fight, most of the Chinese construction workers and professional experts from Dam (1) and (2) went back to China and the dam construction has been temporarily postponed.
According to analysis from local sources, Chinese construction workers and experts went back to China because they were terrified of the fighting on 15th June and they worry that it will happen again. The local people are apprehensive about it too.
One local source said, “I heard the sound of fighting from nearby the Shweli Dam (1). Therefore Chinese workers and their experts who came to work on the Dam (2) construction go back to China and postponed the construction temporarily and the local workers also returned back to their homes.”
Shweli Dam (2) is located between 17 and 20 miles from the Shweli Dam (1) and the experts from Chinese Companies came to build their homes for the construction at the end of 2010. Security of Shweli Dam (2) is the responsibility of the Infantry Battalion (144) however because of this local people’s farms are being confiscated without compensation and they are also suffering from Human Rights violations.
Shweli Dam (1) is located in Northern Shan State; about 17 miles northwest from Nam Kham Township and it began to produce electric at the beginning of 2009. While the Shweli Dam (1) was being built, local people suffered extensively from land confiscation and Human Rights violations.
The former military regime had built the Dam (1) on Shweli River and the military subordinate’s, the new Burmese government, continue with the building of Shweli Dam (2) and (3).

Posted by ααα္းေαာ;ေαွဲα္း on 9:08:00 AM
On June 1st 2011, U Lum Hkaun who leads the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) in Bamaw Township, Kachin State directed Palaung workers within in the division No. 5 area of KIA to return to their home towns.
Ta’ang (Palaung) employees had migrated to the Kachin area in order to be able to work with other charcoal workers, teak traders, and other enterprises. Workers from the region have said that the probable reason that the KIA have ordered the Ta’ang people to return is because of the conflict taking place in Kachin state .

Military repression in Burma’s northern Shan State fuelling human trafficking to China
Posted by ααα္းေαာ;ေαွဲα္း on 10:06:00 PM
Press Release
A new report released today by the Palaung Women’s Organisation reveals alarming rates of human trafficking from Burma into China, fuelled by large scale migration due to increased military repression and economic hardship in northern Shan State.
Stolen Lives documents 72 cases of human trafficking involving 110 people, which took place along the China-Burma border mostly in the past six years. The majority of those trafficked were young Palaung women from tea farming communities in northern Shan State.
Burma’s military rulers have tightened control of Palaung areas since the surrender of the Palaung State Liberation Army in 2005, pouring in troops and militia who have imposed increased taxes on agriculture and trading. Unable to survive on the meagre profits earned from tea farming, young Palaung women have been forced to migrate to China in search of work, leaving them exposed to the risk of being trafficked.
‘Most Palaung women have no experience of independent travel as they are expected to stay at home and look after their children. As a result, many of the women have no idea they are being trafficked until it is too late,’ says Lway Moe Kham, principal researcher on Stolen Lives.
Survivors provide harrowing accounts of being forced into marriages with Chinese men or into sex work in destinations across China. Some ended up as live feed for leeches. Young children and babies were also trafficked, some sold by drug-using fathers. Opium cultivation in Palaung areas has skyrocketed in recent years due to official complicity in the drug trade.
The report contradicts claims by Burma’s regime that anti-trafficking measures introduced over the past few years are effective, and highlights that the structural root causes of migration and trafficking need to be addressed in order to tackle the problem. Political and economic conditions have worsened in Palaung areas since Burma’s recent election.
‘A genuine political dialogue which addresses the needs and ambitions of Burma’s ethnic groups is a necessary first step if Burma is to solve the complex economic and social problems fuelling human trafficking,’ says Lway Moe Kham.

The report contradicts claims by Burma’s regime that anti-trafficking measures introduced over the past few years are effective, and highlights that the structural root causes of migration and trafficking need to be addressed in order to tackle the problem. Political and economic conditions have worsened in Palaung areas since Burma’s recent election.
‘A genuine political dialogue which addresses the needs and ambitions of Burma’s ethnic groups is a necessary first step if Burma is to solve the complex economic and social problems fuelling human trafficking,’ says Lway Moe Kham.

Local Education Minister forces students to buy school materials
Posted by ααα္းေαာ;ေαွဲα္း on 12:28:00 PM
Commencing from the 2011 academic year, the local education minister of Manton Township, Northern Shan State has been forcing students to buy school materials in all schools within Manton Township.
Education staff from every school in the area has been given notebooks from the education minister ordered to sell a dozen notebooks per student.
“There are over one hundred students at my school. We discovered some schoolchildren are really deprived and have no money but because of the pressure from the seniors we are not in a position to do anything for them” said an education staff.
The notebooks which they are forcing schools to sell are of very low quality. However, the education minister sells them at a price of 1,800 Kyats per dozen even though the cost of the notebooks in private stores is 1,400 Kyats per dozen. It is even worse for students from remote areas, they are getting charged an even higher price for the notebooks from 2,000 Kyats to 2,500 Kyats per dozen.
“It is an untenable situation for me to buy note books at high price for five children. I pleaded with the school to let me spread out the cost of the notebooks as I have many children but I had to buy them in order for my children to be able to attend school” said a local woman.
Due to the local tea price getting lower, we now face a more difficult situation in sustaining our livelihood and then on top of that we have to buy school stationary from the education minister at higher price than necessary. Even though it is a problematic satiation for us to send our children to school as it is.
Currently, there are 70 public schools and 40000 students studying within in Manton Township.

The collapse of tea market, Plunges tea farmers into crisis
Posted by ααα္းေαာ;ေαွဲα္း on 12:22:00 PM
Press Release
Ta’ang (Palaung) Working Group has revealed and released a briefing paper on the huge economic crisis that Ta’ang people are facing in 2011 due to the decline of tea prices and the collapse of the tea market.Although the tea price was good and many tea traders bought tea during the Shwe Pyi Oo (first harvest), one week later the price of tea fell sharply and only a few traders were buying tea. Consequently, the tea market became very weak and tea production almost came to a halt. Tea production is the main source of income for over (600,000) six hundred thousand Ta’ang people.
As the main source of income of the Ta’ang people is in crisis, the local populations are facing many economic, social, educational and health related problems. These problems, have forced many Ta’ang people to migrate within Burma and to other countries.
According to the local people, almost all the villagers from around Namhsan and Man Ton Townships are leaving to work in China. “In our areas, Captain Then Htun and Na Gar Pyan (Flying Dragon) tea industries monopolize the tea market and tea farms have plunged into crisis. Therefore almost everyone in our village goes to work in China. This year the tea price is low, a lot of rain made the tea mature quickly and people are not allowed to produce charcoal, so people have to find any way they can to make ends meet.”
Burma’s new military government and other organizations have not addressed the crisis that the Ta’ang people are facing as a result of the decline of the tea industry. Therefore, the Ta’ang (Palaung) working group has produced this briefing paper highlighting the problems that Ta’ang tea cultivators are facing. Our objective is to inform people and to help solve these problems in the Ta’ang area.
“The Burmese new military government should review its economic principles and policies. In addition they should allow the tea market to be independent and stop the restrictions and exploitation of the tea business. Ultimately, the root causes of the problems that the people of Burma face are political crisis, to address this, the regime must begin to engage in a genuine political dialogue,” said Mai Aung Ko, a team member of Ta’ang (Palaung) Working Group.
