Most of the victims of this war have been civilians living in rural areas. Every year, hundreds have been killed, ten of thousands of people from the Karen, Karenni, Mon, Shan, Arakanese and other ethnic groups have sought asylum in neighboring countries, as refugees or illegal migrant workers. Widespread internal displacement, combined with government efforts to forcefully assimilate ethnic peoples, has led many to fear for survival of their unique languages, cultures, and traditions. The ethnic minorities, comprising one third of the Burmese population, suffered from a wide variety of human rights violations at the hands of the military. In spite of this the Karen National Union (KNU) to show good faith and to encourage discussions that it hoped would lead the ruling Junta to democracy entered a voluntary ceasefire in December 2003. The KNU were under no illusions, as they understood that the Burmese Government s proposed Road Map lacked any real substance. There is no timetable, agenda, release of political prisoners or withdrawal of soldiers from ethnic areas. Unfortunately as we go to print with this edition of CIDKP newsletter villagers in ethnic areas are still being persecuted by Burmese soldiers, landmines are still be used against civilians and people forced from their homes. On 22 December 2003, the Karen New Year, Burmese troops attacked celebrating villagers near Kaw-ka-reik town in Karen State. Two battalions of Burmese army soldiers of Light Infantry Brigade 588, led by Major Ye Naing, fired six 60 mm motor rounds and about 200 rounds of machinegun. The troops looted sports uniforms, chickens, food and clothing from the celebrating villagers. Many shops were destroyed and the villagers attending the ceremony had to flee. On Karen New Year Burmese troops forced relocated villagers from the Klaysoe-khee area and made them walk at the side of roads to clear landmines. The troops beat villagers, stole their animals and other valuables. In spite of these atrocities CIDKP still hope the New Year will bring peace to Burma. It would be a crime if another generation of our young people have to miss out on education, health and the right to a peaceful and democratic life. 2 IDP NEWS 2

Beatings, killings and torture all in a days work In Burma, many villagers, including young children are forced at gunpoint to build army camps, roads, bridges and carry food supplies and ammunition for the military. They have no choice. Refusal to work leads to beatings, death or jail. Pwe Paw, a Karen farmer points to the bandaged stump of his amputated leg and says. Until I stepped on a landmine the Burmese soldiers forced me to build roads, fences, clean their huts and cut the grass around the army barracks. In Karen State it is common for villagers to be used by the Burmese Army as slaves. Men, women and children are forced from their homes to work for the military. According to a spokesperson for the Karen Human Rights Group (KHRG) Pwe Paw s story is not unusual. The Army regularly forces people to work for nothing. They call it volunteer labour, which is the same thing. People are taken from their homes to work as porters, to build roads and houses. People are also ordered to provide building materials and collect firewood. The army approaches the village headman to find porters and forced labourers for them or they use Burmese government sponsored cease-fire armed groups such as the DKBA to do their dirty work. This can also place additional work burdens on the villagers as these groups also expect to use people to work for them as well as the Burmese army. If these orders are carried out in crop planting or harvest seasons it creates a vicious cycle of poverty as many of the villagers have no time to cultivate their rice or vegetables. When farms are left unattended, because the army takes villagers away as forced labourers crops are destroyed by pests, wild animals or rice paddy just rots. Pwe Paw explains that when he lost most of his crops the Burmese and DKBA soldiers came to his village and ordered the villagers to provide not just labour but also enough rice, vegetables, chickens and fruit to feed them. We couldn t obey their orders so we had no choice but to flee. They wanted us to build their barracks, carry their ammunition and feed their soldiers. More than 150 villagers made the dangerous crossing to the Thai Burma border. They had to avoid army patrols, landmines and fast flowing flooded rivers. Many of these people face an uncertain future. The refugee camps are already overflowing with new arrivals as the Burmese army continues to hunt and kill Karen villagers. Many of these new arrivals are doomed to forage and find jungle hideouts along the borderline. Children are unable to get even the most basic education. Malaria, dengue fever, malnutrition and landmines are a constant lifethreatening reality for these people. Pwe Paw says his future is uncertain. Because of the landmine I don t know how I can feed or work for my family. I don t know how I will survive. They don t need me now! Pwe Paw paid for his forced labour with his leg. 3 IDP NEWS 3

EDUCATION Burmese Army teaches Naw Hsa Wah is not only a schoolteacher. She is also a medic and a farmer and is the hope of about 40 Karen students. Naw Hsa Wah says because of the threat of attack from Burmese army soldiers she has had to move her school to several different jungle locations during the year. I am the only teacher in the village and I have to teach five classes. We don t have too many resources. Student have only their exercise book and a pen to write with, she says. Naw Hsa Wah s husband is the village head man and also has the responsibility of treating and caring for sick villagers. I have to help him when he is busy and go and give treatment to patients. I also have to teach school and find food for my family. I feel very exhausted at the end of the day. But Naw Hsa Wah says it makes her feel happy and content when she sees her students show an enthusiasm for learning. When the Burmese army comes, we have to flee to the jungle to hide. I then have to teach the class under the trees. Naw Hsa Wah s experience is the normal for Internally Displaced People inside Burma (IDPs). In Karen State, getting an education is always under treat from Burmese soldiers. According a Karen Education Department (KED) spokesperson Burmese army activity during the monsoon season is less, but when the rains stop in the dry season their destructive activities increase against villagers. This results in the children having to miss school. The spokesperson said that to develop the education needs of the IDP students is not an easy task. A report from the Karen Education Department that evaluated education needs in seven Karen National Union districts, found that there are many schools with too many students and not enough trained teachers from primary school to high school level. Due to the instability caused by the constant military threat from the Burmese army, villagers have to hide in inaccessible jungle hideouts. This creates a poor learning environment for children. Although Internally Displaced People have a hard life constantly on the run, many children are keen to learn and to get an education. Saw Hsa Lay Moo, is only 13, yet he has to face and learn to deal with the atrocities handed out by the military. In spite of the hardships he has managed to reserve a special sense of feeling for his education and says. What about our future? Although I have to live in the jungle I am very keen to learn. When I left my village I couldn t take anything with me. I had to leave my bea utiful home. We had to leave every thing behind. When I am grown up and have some education I will join our military and fight those who bullied me. But in spite of Saw Hsa Lay Moo s enthusiasm to be educated many 4 IDP NEWS 4

EDUCATION students cruel lesson students cannot cope with the military threat, fear and the constant running. These children drop out and give up their school. Living on the run presents challenges beyond the imagination of most people. There is a shortage of basic living equipment. There are no blankets, clothing and getting enough food to feed a family on a daily basis is a problem. Because of these difficulties many parents decide to keep their children out of school. They say they need their children to help them get food for their family needs. It is no surprise that many children decide to help their parents rather than to spend time at school. Saw Lay Wah, 10, says. I have to look after my younger brother and sometimes I have to help my parents farm for food. I don t want to stay in school anymore and I don t want to learn. When I am grown up I will work as a farmer. Saw Lay Wah s story shows how difficult it is for many internally displaced children to get an education. In his short life he has already had to face many problems, particularly helping his family finding enough food for their daily needs. This hardship has destroyed his desire and interest in learning. Schoolteacher Naw Has Wah says that these children s situation shows that it is important that an opportunity is still provided for children to learn. Another serious barrier to internally displaced children getting an education is finding people willing to be schoolteachers. Although there are many people eager to teach, they do not have sufficient time to do so because of the demands placed on them to attend to looking after their own families. The numbers of new teachers are decreasing. According to a Karen Education Department spokesperson the severe shortage of suitable teachers added to the other difficulties of providing education to displaced people is placing education out of reach of many children in Karen State. The future of our people depends on these children. But what sort of education can we give them when they have to learn on the run without books or classrooms. Too many kids, too much work and not enough time. Teachers also have to cook dinner, care for the sick and fed the animals. 5 IDP NEWS 5

HEALTH Pregnant mother tired of running Woman s pregnacy ends in death of her baby! Naw Thay, is eight months pregnant and is tired from running from Burmese troops. The last time the army attacked her village was in August. This time the soldiers burnt it to the ground. Naw Thay, to save her and her unborn baby s life, has had to flee and hide in the jungle. It was the fourth time last year that the army forced Naw Thay, her two sons and the other villagers to leave. Hugging her two sons she says. When the Burmese soldiers were coming to seize us I had to carry my younger son who is four-years-old in front of me and on my back I had to carry all our clothing and food. Naw Thay is lucky that she able to reach the border and cross into Thailand. Many internally displaced people experience the same treatment as Naw Thay but are unable to escape the harsh conditions in Burma. Even basic health care is impossible to find. Tee Eh, who works for an organization based in Thailand that is responsible for delivering basic health care to people inside Burma says. IDPs have to faced and deal with various kinds of problems such as security, food and illness. They suffer mainly from diseases that include: malaria, pneumonia, waterborne infections such as diarrhoea and dysentery. Other areas of concern are reproductive health, mental disease, malnutrition and landmine injuries. According to the latest report from the Back Pack Health Worker Team (BPHWT) there are great cause for concern about the health of internally displaced people. There were 220,112 cases of malaria, 16029 cases of anemia, 9826 cases of worm infection, 8142 cases of diarrhoea, 5841 cases of dysentery, 4093 cases of pneumonia and 68 cases of mine injuries. During 2002, 156,986 internally displaced people received medical assistant from BPHWT. According to villagers such as Naw Thay, the BPHWT is a great help to them and without them it would be difficult to solve the health problems of the internally displaced Karen people. Naw Thay had reproductive health problems from the stress caused by the constant running from the military during her pregnancy. A pregnant mother with two children, a girl seven years old and a boy two years old she was on the run from September 26, 2003. She had to cope with malaria and a chronic cough while she was still in her village Wa-klu-pu. While she was sick she did not get medicine or have money to buy medicine. The Burmese army destroyed her paddy, leaving her without enough rice for her family. As she had to flee and hide from the army, she did not have time to find food. In one month she had to flee four times. While pregnant, sick and carrying her younger son and her belonging on her back it was a hard for her. She also did not have enough warm clothing or mosquito nets. The only medicine available to her was traditional medicine. Living with these problems and her fear of the brutality of the army she moved from place to place until she arrived at Mae La refugee camp in Thailand. 6 IDP NEWS 6

Dhi Klee in only eight years old but already he s faced hardships well beyond his years. In April 2002, Burmese army troops (SPDC) attacked his village s jungle hideout. They killed his pregnant mother, his three sisters and brother. His father Kho Noe took Dhi Klee and his only surviving sister Kan Kur and trekked for five days to the Thai Burmese border. They had to cross dangerously swollen rivers, avoid Burmese army patrols and landmines. For many internally displaced children like Dhi Klee life on the run in Burma can be dangerous. Falling in flooded rivers, being burnt by jungle fires or any number of other accidents is likely to end in death. Kho Noe the father of Dhi Klee said his surviving son Dhi Klee, almost died four years ago when he was badly scalded from a campfire accident. He was lucky. He knocked the boiling rice pot over himself. His burns were all over his back, but there was no medicine. He couldn t sleep on a mat because of the pain. We had nothing but boiled banana leaves to wrap him up in. Dhi Klee slowly recovered but he still carried terrible scars from the accident. His left arm was welded to his side by an ugly patchwork of skin, muscle and sinew. His arm movement was restricted between his elbow and shoulder. Dhi Klee was lucky when he reached the Thai side of the border he was sent to Mae Sot with his father by foreign NGO support. He had an operation by a Thai surgeon at Mae Burnt Boy Finds Hope Sot Hospital to separate his arm from his side. To achieve this Dhi Klee had to undergo painful skin grafts. The doctor transplanted skin from his thigh to his arm and back. One of the medics who looked after him after the operation said that his arm will become normal if he does exercises to strengthen it. As the pain wore off Dhi Klee was very happy because he could raise his arm for the first time since his accident. He could dress himself like a normal boy. He could also play football just like the other boys of his age. When he came back to the refugee camp after the operation, he thought his problems were all over. Dhi Klee s father was very happy for Dhi Klee, but he was sad and wanted to return to his village, to the place where his wife, son and daughters were buried. Kho Noe and his son Dhi Klee and his daughter Kan Kur He s lucky to be live! Dhi Klee (left) after the operation and before (bottom right). have now gone back to Burma. Once more his future is uncertain. But he s not alone many internally displaced like Dhi Klee, his father and sister are faced with an uncertain future. 20 IDP NEWS 20
