KACHIN STATE – According to the locals, the fascist junta council troops are conducting military operations in a village in Shin Bway Yang Sub-Township, Danai Township, Kachin State. They (the junta council troops) also threatened to abduct and beat up the civilians if the civilians go out during the night time.
A 40-year-old man who lives in Khalong Village mentioned that the brutal junta council troops have been performing military operations in the nearby villages of Shin Bway Yang Sub-Township, including Takhet, Khalong, Khalong harbour and the vicinity since the last week of December, 2023 and also threatened the civilians not to go out at night.
He explained that “at the moment, the fascist junta council troops as well as KIA (Kachin Independence Army) are conducting military operations in the region. It’s just that they are not locked in fierce battles. But the situation is not good at all. We cannot go out during the night time, starting from 6 p.m. Wherever we go, we have to go back home before 6 p.m.”
There are three military base camps in Shin Bway Yang Sub-Township: Shin Bway Yang military base camp, Khalong harbour military base camp and Talu military base camp. The junta council troops from Shin Bway Yang military camp and Khalong harbour military camp are conducting military operations in Khalong and Takhet Villages.
A local man mentioned that “There have not been any abduction so far. But, we have heard that a villager was beaten by the junta council troops as he went out at night. But we don’t know the identity of the victim. It was known that they (the junta council troops) threatened the civilians not to go out after 6 p.m. They (the junta council troops) also threatened the civilians if anyone went out at night, they (the civilians) would be beaten up.”
Khalong, Takhet and Talu Villages are located on the Danai – Shin Bway Yang road section on Ledo road. The civilians who encountered the fascist junta council column were inspected by them (the junta council troops).
At least three fierce battles have broken out between KIA and the fascist junta council troops, near Talu Village, Shin Bway Yang Sub-Township, starting from the first week of November, in 2023. Following that, both sides are conducting military operations in the region.
