The anti-democratic USDP, which pretends to like democracy, human

mongering thugs is evidenced by their attacking non-Bamar, non-

The Burmese army attacked another outpost belonging to the Shan State
Army-South (SSA-S) close to Sino-Burmese border on Thursday morning,
according to rebel sources.
A spokesperson for the ethnic rebel group told DVB that an outpost in
northern Shan state’s Namhkam township came under attack by about 50
Burmese army soldiers from Military Operation Command 16, forcing the
group to return fire.
Sai Hseng Murng told DVB that there are two possible reasons for the
attack, including their suspicion that the SSA-S is responsible for
the disappearance of four Burmese “civilians”, who rebels suspect to
be military intelligence personnel.
It follows news that on Sunday another rebel outpost in Namhkam was
raided and torched by the Burmese army, who alleged to be looking for
the four missing people.
But Sai Hseng Murng added that it could also be linked to a recent
dispute with a pro-government militia group, who is allegedly unhappy
with their plans to open a rehabilitation centre for drug users in the
area.
While it was not clear whether the militia troops were part of this
morning’s assault, Sai Hseng Murng said that they had joined the
Burmese soldiers in torching an SSA-S outpost on Sunday.
A Shan soldier was injured during this morning’s clash and gunfire
could be heard throughout the afternoon, he said, although a full list
of casualties was not yet known.
Over 1,000 residents from eight villages located alongside the Ruili
River were forced to flee their homes, according to Sai Kyaw Ohn,
Lower House representative for the Shan Nationalities Democratic Party
in Namhkam. He told DVB that some of the displaced had sought shelter
either with relatives or at a Buddhist monastery in Namhkam town,
while others had crossed the border into China.
Hkun Tun Oo, chairperson of Shan opposition party, the Shan
Nationalities League for Democracy, criticised President Thein Sein
for failing to rein in the army, despite reaching a union-level
ceasefire agreement with the SSA-S last year.
“The [president] has no control over the army,” said Hkun Tun Oo.
“[They] are running things differently from the state.”
Despite reaching a tentative ceasefire deal in December 2011 and a
union-level agreement the following year, the SSA-S and the Burmese
army continue to engage in regular clashes. Sai Lao Hseng said the
group has sent letters to the Burmese government after each clash, but
rarely received a response. He warned that the army’s hostility could
lead to further distrust and violence.
The SSA-S is one of Burma’s largest armed ethnic groups, and has been
fighting for greater autonomy and ethnic rights in Burma for over half
a century.

Shan people were originally proto - Thai people from the
Greater Thai group
the Thai people in Lao and in Thailand are Thai people from
the Lesser Thai group.
there are also Thai people in Black river in north
Vietnam ,the
Thai Dumb and the White Thai,
Thai Dumb means Black Thai.
a lot of Chinese are claiming to be Shan people in Shan
state ,
that is why the Burmese central NayPiDaw is trying to control
this Shan state which is full of new Chinese migrants who
are claiming to the Shan people.
remember there are now 9 million Chinese in Thailand who are
claiming to be
Thai by using Thai names .
