We cannot go backBurma’s economy is a mess. Once the richest country in South East Asiabut now regarded by the international community as a human rights disasterzone and economic embarrassment. The only signs of growth are themanufacture of narcotic drugs, trafficking of people, military expenditureand crimes against people. In spite of a ceasefire between the Burmeseregime and the Karen National Union (KNU) thousands of villagers arestill being forced from their homes. Burmese soldiers continue to buildnew camps and order Karen villagers to carry munitions and supplies tostock these army bases. According to a new report, Ke ta bu bar (meaning*I cannot go back) by Human Watch Rights Asia, increased militarizationin December 2004 created 5,000 new internally displaced people inNyaunglebin District. It’s an easy term to say and use, “displaced person”,but the living reality is a nightmare. Forced to flee in small groups or asentire villages. People only take what they can carry. Cooking pots, ricestores and tools to cultivate land are left behind. Jungle camps are withoutsanitation, security or health care. Malaria, worms, and common coldskill the young and old. Help is often many days walk. Getting there isfraught with danger. Landmines, attacks from Burmese soldiers and theirallies, the Democratic Karen Buddhist Army (DKBA) (armed militia gang)used by the regime to attack refugee camps and Karen villagers). WhatKaren people want is not some outrageous or expensive demand. Theywant a peaceful solution to the 56-year-old conflict so their children canlearn and be proud of their rich Karen culture and language. They wanteducation, access to health services and to live in peace.

Karen New Year is usually a time ofgreat happiness, but Burmese armysoldiers used the occasion to attackcelebrating villagers. A HumanRights Watch Asia researcherinterviewed people who fled theassault on their village.For the people of Ka Law Gaw villagein Dooplaya District, the past nineyears has been peaceful. They livedunder Karen National Union (KNU)protection and were able to growcrops and trade in peace. Manydisplaced people from other villagesmoved to the security of Ka Law Gawto escape Burmese army oppression.There was little risk of being used asforced labor as the army was too faraway.New Year is one of the most importantfestivals to the Karen, and manypeople had gathered at Ka Law Gawto celebrate. Burmese Army soldiersagain breached the ceasefire betweenthe KNU and the regime. They wereangry Karen soldiers were in the villagecelebrating New Year with the

villagers. Two columns of Burmesesoldiers approached the village, thefirst commanded by Lt. Soe Myint Aw,and the second led by Captain Toe ToeAung. Both columns were from IB 356led by Major Than Htun, although theywere acting on orders from theBurmese army state commander toattack. The army also used nearly 200‘convict porters’ to carry theirsupplies.The entire village fled before the armyreached them. They ran to the Thaiborder, thirty minutes walk away.Some of the villagers crossed intoThailand looking for help. Most of thepeople hid in a cave. The next daysome of them returned to the village,but were captured by the Burmesearmy. On Wednesday, the peoplehiding in the cave crossed into Thailandand sought refuge at a monastery northof Umphang in Tak Province. OnFriday, four days after the fightingstarted, Thai authorities forced the 558Karen civilians back over the border.

These people are once again living ina cave or on rough open ground alongthe borderline. They have little food,and cannot return to their village forfear of Burmese soldiers also laidmany landmines around the village.NB, a fifty-year-old woman from KaLaw Gaw, said.‘We cannot eat at the right time. Wecannot take a bath. We have to sleepon the rocky ground, and some peoplesleep inside the cave. The smell in thecave is very bad. The water is verybad, I feel unsafe drinking dirty waterand we cannot start a fire because thearmy will see. Now there is a sound inour stomachs from hunger.’WT, a farmer in Ka Law Gaw, wasexasperated that the Burmese armyhad so blatantly violated the ceasefire.‘I’m upset they came on Karen NewYear and I have to live in a cave. It isthe SPDC fault this happened, theystarted fighting.’

A Nyaunglebin Districtvillage headman tells Inside Newshow soldiers make his people pay.The regime's policies and programs arefunded by money from narcotic drugsand by extorting money from ethnicvillagers. My people have first handexperienced of this banditry. Burmesetroops stationed in our District, orderedus to pay Strategy Command onemillion kyat for each of their threebattalions.The battalion commanders orderedtheir frontline troops to fine us10,000kyat a month. The frontlinetroops kept 2,000kyat and sent theremaining eight thousand to theirbattalion headquarters. They find manyways to extort money. They accuseus of supporting Karen National Union(KNU) soldiers. For this “crime” theyfine villagers 10,000kyat . If villagerswant to go to their storage huts or fieldsthey have to pay 500kyat. Troops forcevillagers to relocate their village. Ifpeople refuse, they have to pay 300,000to 500,000. They also conscript twovillagers from each village. If theyrefuse they have to pay a 10,000kyatfine. If we cannot pay, they order us tomake bricks and rice wine to sell.By 2004, SPDC soldiers from eachbattalion had extorted the one million-kyat. On January 2004, soldiersdemanded two people from eachvillage to attend military training. Iftrainees completed three trainings theirnames were sent for registration as asoldier. Militia groups are set up in eachtownship. Villagers have to pay thesemilitia 500kyat when they go withtroops to the battlefield.On March 2004, the SPDC spread liesthe KNU would surrender. Battalionsstrengthen their camps to withstandshelling from heavy weapons. Theyordered villagers to buy thatch and cutbamboo. When there is a conflict they

shoot villagers on sight. If they see theirhuts in the fields or houses in thevillages, they steal people’s belongings.When they have an military operationthey force villagers to carry suppliesand ammunitions. On April 2004, all ourvillagers had to register their name toa “women’s organization”. They hadto pay 31kyat a person for membershipof this organization. During the recentceasefire agreement with the KNU,troops built a road and two new militarycamps in each township.Burmese army soldiers are beginningto desert. Strategy commanders wantrid of our people even though many oftheir frontline soldiers want a ceasefire.The leaders at Strategy Commandaren’t in the frontline and don’t want aceasefire with the KNU, why wouldthey when they reap the benefits oftheir extortion.

In spite of the grim situation in ourprovinces, brigades, districts andbattalions our staff are prepared toprotect themselves and villagers.Looking after villagers is difficult.Families are trying to stand on theirown feet, but if their harvest is not goodthey need help from NGOs. The SPDCis untrustworthy and in spite ofceasefire talk they don't change.Human right abuses increase andvillagers are tortured. People deliveringmedical services and humanitarianassistance are also targets for thesoldiers to shoot.If villagers hide in the mountains orjungles they are hunted down, theirdwellings burnt and their rice and foodstores destroyed. People are sick of thefighting and want a genuine ceasefire,but they don’t want Burmese troops intheir villages.

It was the first timein 15 years to visit her homeland, KarenState. She went there on a mission aspart of a Back Packer Health WorkerTeam (BPHWT) to help her people.Eh Paw knows what it is like to live asa displaced person. Her family stilldoes. When she was 10 she was forcedfrom her home village of Mu Kyi Win.She became a refugee in Thailand. Herambition is to be a good health workerand when there is peace in Burmareturn home to Karen State.Eh Paw was excited to be part of theBackpack Medic team and explains sheis driven by a need to care for herpeople.‘My people need to understand abouthealth. They need education and theskills to be able to help themselves.’For six months in Karen State, Eh Pawand the Health team trained displacedpeople to be health workers.After the initial training was completedshe traveled with her trainees for sixmonths to remote areas of Karen Statethat had no access to health services.The team set up mobile clinics in twodisplaced communities to treat patientsand organize education workshops onmalaria, worms, HIV/AIDS and motherand child health problems.Eh Paw says a common obstacle togiving basic health education andtreatment to villagers is localsuperstitions.‘Treatment is easier and moresuccessful once families are able torecognize common symptoms of someof the most treatable parasite infectionssuch as worms and malaria.’

Alice explains when villagers are sickthey make offerings to Nats (ghosts)and fairies,Villager’s insists drinking more water- often the source of the parasite - is acure, but often increases the family’ssickness.According to Eh Paw it is essentialdisplaced communities have access tohealth care if they are to have a chanceof combating illness and disease.‘Setting up mobile clinics and takingeducation to these communities willhelp to achieve this.’During Eh Paw’s 12 months in KarenState security for the team was aconstant concern.Trips to take medicine to jungle hideoutswere often long and dangerous. Theteam’s only protection against theBurmese soldiers was the Karen army(KNLA) and that was limited due to alack of soldiers and ammunition.

Eh Paw says her team were lucky andnever had to live out their plan to hidetheir medicine in the jungle as they fledfrom Burmese troops. The closest shecame to that particular nightmare washiding in a village hut while BurmeseTroops visited the local pagoda. Shesays to experience the fear is enoughto drive one crazy.Eh Paw says in the 15 years she wasaway from Karen State not much haschanged the Burmese army are stillkilling and forcing Karen villagers oftheir land.But she says the mobile health clinicsset up by her backpack medical teamhave improved the health of thevillagers.‘Our people deserve better. They needclinics, schools and the opportunity tocultivate their land without fear ofreprisal.’

The Burmese military dictatorshipsays its ceasefire talks with the KarenNational Union ia a symbol of itssincerity for peace. Reporter PHILTHORNTON went inside Burma tosee if the ceasefire was working butinstead witnessed atrocities againstKaren villagers that prove theregime’s talk is more political stuntthan reality.They came out of the mist like ghosts.A thin single file, sliding and slippingdown the mountain, soldiers, and porterstry to keep two stretchers from falling.Inside one of the green plastic sheetstied to a bamboo pole a motherwhimpers from fear and the piece ofshrapnel lodged in her gut. Followingclose behind, held high in anotherstretcher, is her son, aged 11, alsobleeding. His foot bloodied andshattered. His forearm smashed, hotfrom fever and a piece of mortar buriedin his flesh. Mother and son arevillagers from Hti Per, a two-day walkfrom the Thai Burma border andmedical care. To get that care the party

has to walk over and down four steepmountain ridges, cross through floodedrivers 22 times; avoid Burmese armypatrols and landmines. There are noambulances, shops, telephones orbottled drinking water. Everythingneeded for the trip has to be carried.Mortar shrapnel, wounded mother andson and her eldest daughter when 10Democratic Karen Buddhist Army(DKBA) soldiers aligned to theBurmese military attacked their house.I started this trip with a team of healthworkers carrying medical supplies to aclinic inside Burma. Along the way themedic traveling with our party wasinundated by requests from villagersand people on mountain tracks wantingmedicine for ailments that includedfever, malaria and anemia. Whennews of the conflict came over thearmy radio and it was known that thewoman and boy would have to be sentto the border for emergency treatmentThe KNLA officer leading the rescueparty back to the border says theceasefire when it works is good, butthose moments are rare.

‘It’s not only soldiers who get shot, butvillagers are caught up in it as well,’ hesays nodding in the direction of thestretcher.‘We were ambushed when we broughtmedicine to displaced villagers. In Julywe had to evacuate a village aftersoldiers attacked a school with mortarand rifle grenades. The closer to theborder the better the situation, but thedeeper you go inside the worse it gets.’Ceasefire trickeryBut if KNU radio intercepts are to berelied on, the border situation is goingto get worse. On 27 August 2004,[Burmese] Strategy Commander 773ordered: ‘…all Battalions under mycontrol to attack KNLA positions alongthe Moei River [Thai border] and cleanthem out.’A stack of logged radio orders sit on arough wooden tabletop in a smallbamboo hut on the edge of a KNLAarmy camp.

They fearany international involvement. Theykeep saying it is an internal problemand we can resolve the issues betweenourselves. That’s nonsense. Theinternational community has to getinvolved because Burma is aninternational problem.’Mahn Sha says Burma’s appallinghuman rights record and drug producingwas enough proof that Burma shouldbe a concern to both the UN andASEAN.‘Burma is the world’s second biggestproducer of heroin and the biggestsupplier of methamphetamines.Refugees continue to pour over theborders of our neighbours, migrantworkers do the same, the generals runthe country illegally after failing torecognise the results of the 1991elections, human rights buses, childsoldiers, systematic rapes, forcedlabour and the environment is adisaster. Even ASEAN meetings failbecause they don’t know how to dealwith Burma’s unresolved internalproblems. We’ve asked them to let EastTimor be involved, but they don’t wantany other outside group involved.’We build it they burn itVillagers in this part of Karen State usebamboo poles instead of hardwood tosupport their houses.‘We have plenty of wood in the forest,but we don’t use it. They only burnthem. If [Burmese] come it is easy forus to move and leave our houses.We’ve been told by the DKBA not totake medicine from the KNLA or theywill kill us,’says Chit Chee.Chit Chee’s says hiding in remoteplaces is tough.

‘I’m not happy here, but I’ve no choice.We have to travel if we need oil, saltand rice. We sell wild fruit, pigs,chickens or alcohol to make money tobuy what we need at places four dayswalk there and back.’Chit Chee says she doesn’t understandthe DKBA.‘If they ask us for something and if wehave it we will give it to them becausewe’re all Karen, but I think their heartis not like a Karen anymore.’Chit Chee may be right. Divisive tacticshave been used before to try to confusethe situation.Military expert, Professor DesmondBall from the Australian NationalUniversity Strategic and DefenceStudies Centre agrees.‘It’s not the first time these tactics havebeen used. Prior to the East Timorindependence referendum in 1999 theIndonesia military armed, paid andordered Timorese militia gangs to

terrorise and kill their own villagers. It’snot a surprise the SPDC are using theDKBA to confuse the situation andmake it appear the fighting is an internalKaren tribal war. It distances themfrom the fighting and lets them off thehook if the ceasefire talks breakdown.’Meanwhile, it’s not military strategiesbleeding on the bamboo hut floor butpeople. Outside the skies dump rain,making the mountain pass a mudslide.The stretcher-bearers says tomorrow’swalk to the border will be hard.The wounded woman is thirsty andhungry but is afraid to eat or drink incase her insides have been perforatedand no one in our group is qualified toadvise. The nearest medical assistanceis still 12 hours away. The woman criesthroughout the night. At 3.51am loudgunshots panics the villagers out ofsleep. But nothing eventuates exceptfear.

As mist peels of the mountains andthunder rumbles the mother and childare placed in the stretchers and weleave for the border. Porters andsoldiers take turns to carry the injured,stopping only to rest when fallen trees,boulders and backbreaking hills havebeen beaten. After six hours of slogthrough mud, water and rocks a healthworker and relief porters meet up withus. Stretchers are placed on a smallpiece of shaded ground and an IV dripis attached to the woman. The sight ofthe needle breaking her skin forces herto cover her head with a blanket. It willtake another five hours crossing thejungle covering the Dawna Rangesbefore the woman and child can leavethe confines of their hot plasticstretchers. The last stretch of therescue mission is the most hazardousas it passes through DKBA positionsand minefields. The latter a terrifyingprospect, as the IV keeps catching onoverhead branches requiring someoneto walk off the narrow path to free it.

Keeping single file is difficult in themud and on the steep downward slope.Mines washed bare of earth could beseen a footstep away from the edge ofthe track. Adding to the anxiety, radiostatic confirmed the KNLA’s 202Battalion had been attacked and a largecontingent of DKBA and Burmesearmy soldiers were moving through thearea. The last ridge has been topped,but downhill brings its own problems.The welcome sound of a longtail boat’sengine cuts through the jungle. It hascome to take the patients to a medicalclinic. But keeping the stretchers fromfalling on the greasy path to the river isproving difficult. The porters struggleto overcome the thick mud, the lastobstacle before the mother and son canbe placed in the boat and taken tosafety.A relieved Karen officer looks at thegrateful faces of his charges and says.‘They’re safe now, but our people haveno security. This ceasefire has norules. Responsibilities and rules haveto be spelt out for all sides and strictly

followed otherwise how can we stopthis suffering.’In spite of the gathering mountain ofevidence to suggest the ceasefire isnothing more than a ruse by the regimeto prevent them sharing political powerwith opposition and ethnic groups.Ignoring condemnation by the UN, EUand the US the Burmese generals stillallow their soldiers to loot, forcevillagers to work for nothing and dealdrugs. Infrastructure, except forBurmese military use is virtually non-existent. Many children are forced todrop out of school to help parents farm.In years to come this will be a nationaltragedy.The KNU’s Padho Mahn Sha isworried the international communitywill be fooled by the regime’sskullduggery.‘If the Junta is sincere we can solveBurma’s problems, but if they’re notserious the killing and human rightabuses will continue. Don’t forget theirsoldiers and the DKBA both get theirorders from Rangoon.’

Manyof the people that had lived in Mae Kenvillage had filtered away in the pastyear to IDP settlements within KarenState or to live in another village.Stealing by SPDC soldiers is constantand most menial labor to support thenearby SPDC base is forced upon thevillagers without compensation. Sheleft the village because the soldiers hadtaken almost all her possessions andyearly take away most of her smallpaddy crop. She had to leave to go tothe border with her family in threegroups, as a large group would attractthe attention of the SPDC patrols. Shecould also not carry many householdgoods because it would have alertedthe SPDC that she was relocating.How did the soldiers act when theycame to your village? After I harvestthe paddy they (SPDC) come and takeit all. I have a little left. When the doo-dar (enemy) come into my house I amafraid they will rape me. They call memoy moy (mother mother) to showrespect then take (steal) everything. Asoldier came into my house and beganto speak to me, but I cannot understandso I just ignored him. He became angryand threatened me with his knife thentook the pot of rice I was cooking. Thesoldiers are always suspicious anddon’t trust us.

Did you ever do forced labor? Yes.Around the village. My husband wouldalways hide in the jungle when theSPDC came. When they catch himthey make him (become) a porter. Hecannot grow crops or work. The SPDCdid not send orders, they just tookpeople (away) for labor.Where you taken as a forcedporter? Never. I always avoided theSPDC. All my family has done(portering). In the last year two peoplefrom a village were taken as portersand stepped on landmines. They died.Did the soldiers ever do anythingfor you?

But we knew the medicinewas old (expired). I didn’t buy it. It’stoo dangerous. The soldiers get veryangry when we don’t buy.

Why did you leave? I dare not stayin the village. The soldiers stealeverything from us. We leave becauseof SPDC soldiers not Kawthooliesoldiers (KNU). They took away all mybelongings. How did you feel as youwere traveling to this place? Threetimes we came across SPDC soldiers.I was scared of talking to the soldiers.We could not understand (theirquestions) and just pointed.

Karen New Year is an importanttime to celebrate and for familiesto get together. This year as thevillagers of K’ Law Gaw were sittingdown to eat, Burmese army troopsignoring the ceasefire agreementattacked. A member of theCommittee of Internally DisplacedKaren People (CIDKP) reports forInside News.New Year celebrations are held at thetime of a full moon in December orJanuary. This year it fell on January10, 2005. Everyone was excited aboutthe festivities. Children practiced theirdances and songs. Football teamstrain hard to win their finals. Thosenot performing or playing were happyto sit back and watch the show. NewYear is a time for relatives to meetand exchange news. We Karenpeople consider and see ourselves asa nation. We have all the features anation should possess. We have aKaren national anthem, costume andflag. Karen people might be scatteredaround the world but when it’s ourNew Year we come together tocelebrate. Every one dresses in theirKaren costume. We prepare manytraditional dishes for guests and

friends. Everyone gets involved in thepreparations. Some arrangecompetitions and others are busygetting the stage ready for shows.The villagers of K’ Law Gaw, situatedin Karen State, were excited about theirparty. But what should have been ajoyful time became a nightmare whenBurmese soldiers from LIB 356attacked. Karen army, Colonel NerDah Mya negotiated with the LIBcaptain in charge not to disturb thecelebrations. The village headman wasused as the middle man betweenColonel Ner Dah and Captain TaungTaung Aung. He went five timesbetween them. The KNU wanted theceasefire mutual agreement betweenthe two sides to be honoured. TheBurmese army’s Captain Taung TaungAung had other ideas. He broke theagreement. As Light Infantry Brigade356 marched towards K’ Law Gawvillage, Colonel Ner Dah told them ifthey would like to come as guests theywere welcome, but they couldn’t bringtheir weapons. Villagers took foods anddrinks and asked them not to disturbthe New Year celebration. The troopstook the villagers drink and food andspecial “presents” and said they would

stay away. But their promises weren’tworth anything. Before villagers hada chance to finish their meal orcompete in the many sporting events,troops attacked the village. People fledand 380 K’ Law Gaw villagers ran tothe border. They had to sleep on theground and in caves. There was notenough mosquito nets or clean drinkingwater. Several children had diarrheaand needed emergency treatment. Apregnant woman delivered her.International. A elderly woman saidall she could carry was her grandchild.The villagers stayed on the Thai sideoff the border. The demarcation lineis marked by a few pieces of logs.There is also cliff and cave on Thaiside and villagers slept in the cave andon the stone ground. On January 13,2005 the District official let thedisplaced villagers take temporaryrefuge in the monastery at Wah KluKho Thai Karen village. A villager tolda CIDKP staff member that he hadnever, ‘experienced peace in mylifetime and when I was enjoying andexperiencing the little essence ofpeace our New Year celebrationsbring, I had to flee again.’
