At that time, the security and humanitarian situation will be reviewed again to determine the next steps," said Angelina Sakic, a TBBC Program coordinator. "But the most likely outcome is that if the situation has not improved, they will be moved to Mae La camp."
In the meantime, most refugees hope to return to their village as soon as possible. Many are traumatized, thinking of their crops and the livestock they left behind and how it could all be destroyed or confiscated by the junta’s soldiers or DKBA troops.
Some men have left their family in the camp and crossed back to their village to determine if their possessions are intact. Their lives are at risk because Burmese soldiers and DKBA troops control the area.
"If they see them, they will shoot,” says Chaklo. “They think maybe they are KNLA men burying landmines. We hear the sound of gun fire everyday."
I don't recall calling you a liar, but if the shoe fits...
I will continue saying what I believe to be the truth, and you can continue to ramble on with the SPDC party line.
Note to all readers: Use Google or Bing to learn more about Burma and the atrocities of the SPDC and the Burma army. You will be shocked, and you will wonder why the media has suppressed so much for so long. You might also wonder why the U.N. has not taken action.

Proof, please. I am tired of saying:
"call me a liar or call yourself one"
Associating me with the SPDC is as easy as associating you with the SPDC

Please let's not waste our time and your reputation.
If you have any good will left please direct it at helping people at the border that you do best.

How truly absurd, and hypocritical for planB to soil this thread with his pro-regime propaganda! His post represents a window into his dark agenda and darker heart.
This has to be a new low, but I am not surprised, he represents the SPDC agenda perfectly.
While the regime's army and proxy forces are busy enslaving and persecuting these innocent people, planB is here like the propaganda arsonist he is lighting another fire of cynical ridicule at the expense of the SPDC victims.
Meanwhile in a half-dozen other threads, planB will promote the SPDC as if none of this has been going on for decades.
Take a good long look at these photos folks, because these are the enemies of the SPDC regime which planB spends so much time defending, and many of these children, and children just like them starve to death every day, or die from diseases and parasites which could be cured with a handful of pills.
And it ain't the sanctions mister, its the greed, corruption, and revenge of the SPDC.

"Can I ask Plan B how he can support the SPDC"
Wrong. Quote me and proof me wrong
Typical example/assumption/false accusation of opinionated here.
"Supporting suffering people uniquely like a lot of less vocal Burmese and none Burmese are doing is not equal to supporting SPDC."
"when they are the cause of all this death, disease and misery?"
All?
Can you ever even admit to the fact that some are not SPDC fault let alone being partly the fault of unrelenting? Blanketed Sanctions by the west.
Than you will have to reckon with the one who requested the sanction.
"Or is he only interested in the money they are paying him?"
Same terrible assumption. Proof please.
I know irrwaddy will not print this:
This is akin to the same lies Turnell repeated.
You are not a Democrat.
You are just an expat in UK. Brain washed by BBC/DVB/CNN/VOA the exile government and its ilk.
Smear my intension better have proof.

Kudos to The Irrawaddy. Besides bringing forums for expressing sentiments against the SPDC day-in-day-out, here is the info on the true plight of the "truly pure in heart."
Calling all those junta haters and DASSK lovers anonymous, this is where you can really make yourself count besides taking advantage of expressing how much you hate the SPDC.
Time to walk your talk.

Thank you, Irrawaddy, for posting this article.
On cable television, there are popular survival programs where experts spend a week in various locations which are a challenge to survival.
One of the most severe challenges is to spend a week in the jungle, and of course their challenge will end in one week.
For the Burmese refugees, the experience is far more challenging, and many won't survive.
Along with finding food and shelter, they must face repatriation into the hands of their oppressors.
Now, during the monsoon season there is no shortage of water, but it is often too muddy to drink, and poses the danger of disease, floods and drownings.
Refugees may be protected from the pursuing regime forces by raging streams, or trapped by the torrents and unable to flee.
Survival in the jungle is not easy under the best conditions, and refugees will face malaria, dengue fever, dysentery, and other tropical diseases.
Sadly, hundreds of thousands are still hiding in Burmese jungles.
