Since in early April, joint KNLA forces and the PDF units are fighting against the Military Council troops and the BGF, according to the local residents, the fighting is still going strong.
Now, due to the fighting, there are many refugees on Kawkareit-Myawaddy Road. The fighting took place on the Asia Highway between Kawkareit and Myawaddy, and the sound of gunfire could be heard almost every night from the Mae Sot side, Thai border town.
It is said that the refugees who crossed to Thailand are being kept in the Marat area of Mae Sot, and some are fleeing to Mae Sot and Myawady.
Regarding the refugees who came to Thailand after the battle of Shwe Kokko, when the first refugees returned home, they heard that there were nearly ten thousand more refugees who arrived, said an official of the Mother’s Embrace Group, which provides aid to the refugees.
The Thai government is responsible for the refugees who have reached Thailand, and there are still many refugees who have just arrived on the Myawady side.
