dude.. if we will not be gentle or if we use full load , we got them since 1970s.. Do u know The Head Camp of Kachin (KIA) is just 3.5 km away from our Artillery.. ? if we want to get them , no need a whole day.. Do u know Army troops died every day due to IED and snipers during calling KIA and TNLA to cease-fire .. Do u know why..?
they didnt get an order to fight back even they were under attacked.. the only order they got was if u are under attacked , take cover and return to the camps.. that's all.. they worried to get something impact on discussion due to the fights.. Like Israel amd Hamas.. if they were weak , call to stop War then they collect and prepare man and weapon.. After that ..war again.. Dont trust to Media and come and see our land..
2nd point...
No need to drive... we do love our tribe more than u... dude.. But who want to live unstable states..? Now we got agreement with Karen and accept back our people... if we got peace completely., we call to come back every single person of Myanmar.. Myanmar , second largest nation in ASEAN, is their home.. no need to live other's land...

Myawaddy - The government and the Karen National Union have jointly set up a new town project to create job opportunities and resettlement in Myanmar for refugees currently living in Thailand.
The new town is built on 750 acres of land located near Malwakhee Village. The project is named Laykaykaw Town and contains industries for job creation. Also, the new town project contains governmental offices, schools, hospital, playground, market, swimming pool, and electricity.
The Border Affairs and Security Minister of Kayin State Col Aung Lwin visited the new town on January 22 and observed the project. He instructed the project to be systematic in water distribution, road, health, education and relaxation zones.
Many people fled to Thailand due to the ongoing civil war in Myanmar. In order for them to return to Myanmar, the authorities and the KNU funded the project.
General Prayuth Chan-o-cha, chief of Thailand’s National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO), said that returning the refugees was one of the issues discussed during his meeting with Myanmar Armed Forces chief Senior General Min Aung Hlaing on July 4 in Bangkok.
Refugees from Myanmar of mostly Kayin and Kayah origin fled armed conflict and have sought refuge in Thailand for more than three decades in temporary shelters administered by the host country. According to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), there are 72,900 Myanmar refugees in Thailand as of this month. On top of that are some 51,500 people who are in refugee-like situations.
In the updated operations announcement released this month, the agency noted that increased interest among refugees in returning to Myanmar requires budget estimates that cover potential activities, should conditions be deemed conducive.
"Significant financial support may be needed in 2015 to support shelter repair and maintenance in Rakhine and Kachin states. Given the above, the 2015 budget for Myanmar is set at US$67.8 million," the agency said.
The agency is planning support for around 20,000 potential returnees in 2015, although conditions are not yet sufficient to support any organised voluntary return.
Kayin State has witnessed periodic clashes between the union military and the Democratic Karen Benevolent Army (DKBA). The latest clashes occurred last October despite a tightening of security by Union troops.
Yet, clashes are more frequently reported in Kachin State.
Because of the clashes between the government and the Kachin Independence Army, there are more than 100,000 refugees in Kachin State. In the government-controlled area, there are more than 40,000 IDPs and in the Kachin Independence Organisation-controlled area, there are more than 82,000 IDPs.
As the conflicts have lasted well over three years, the houses built for refugees in 2011 have deteriorated and the major hardship is getting food, according to a committee based in Laiza that is helping the refugees.
Food shortages occurred at some camps in the KIO-controlled area last July due to delay in assistance, according to Dwe Pisa, chairman of the committee for helping the IDPs.
In Kachin State and northern Shan State, more than 100,000 IDPs are displaced and in need of continued humanitarian assistance. They are living in camps in both government-controlled areas and those under the control of non-state actors.
In 2012, violence in Rakhine State forced around 140,000 people to flee their homes. The majority live in government-designated IDP camps near the state capital, Sittwe, and in surrounding townships.
