For many villagers and internally displaced people in Karen Statethe ceasefire has brought additional hardship. The fightingbetween the Burmese army and the KNLA has stopped, but

crimes against people have increased. Burmese army soldiers are stilldemanding people to work for nothing. Villagers are being forcedconscripted to serve as militia. Looting is common and gambling anddrugs use is on the increase. Infrastructure, except for Burmese militaryuse is virtually non-existent. Many children are forced to drop out ofschool to help parents farm. In years to come this will be a nationaltragedy. Medical care is basic and with thousands of rats and miceattacking and destroying this years rice crop, rural workers predictsevere food shortages. Unfortunately, many donors have no mandateto give assistance to people devastated by crop failure or rat and miceinfestations inside Burma. The Committee for Internally DisplacedKaren People (CIDKP) is desperately seeking means to try to securefunding or food assistance for those people worst hit. It will be tough.Malnourishment is already high among displaced people and anyreduction in food will plunge even more people into a vicious cycle ofill health. Children and the elderly are particularly at risk. Malaria, denguefever and a host of problems associated with malnourishment alreadyeffect most internally displaced people. In spite of this doom ladenprediction people are still desperate to help themselves. Children areprepared to do whatever it takes to get an education and parents andvillage elders are risking landmines and payback from Burmese soldiersto try to return to their old villages. Some, like the villagers of HteeTha Blu, have already succeeded in building some new houses.Students like Naw Sa Mya Hch, have set an example with their courageand refusal to give up. She says her hope will not fade away…norshould ours.

Karen farmer Saw Nuu Nu says he’shad enough of sweating and toiling overhis land only to see Burmese armysoldiers reap the benefits.‘The Burmese army steal ourfarmland. They say it’s army propertyand they can take want they want fromit.’According to Saw Nuu Nu one of themain culprits is Battalion CIB 356 ledby Battalion second-in-command, HlaWin Htun. Since1993 the Battalion hasbeen stationed near Paw Baw Chovillage in Pa-an district.Saw Nuu Nu says the army hasconfiscated land owned by Karenfarmers and by Shan farmers.‘They stole 15 plots of Karen land andsix plots from the Shan. That’s a totalarea of 75.15 acres. If we want to farm

own land, we have to give 10 basketsof paddy to the army.’To add insult to injury the armydemanded the robbed villagers growcrops and fruit trees on the confiscatedland.‘If our animals eat any of “their” cropswe are fined. A farmer had to ploughtheir land for three days after his cattlehad strayed onto the unfenced land.He had to use all his own equipmentand food while working for the army.’

Villagers say the army acts like banditsand they are planning to steal morelands for their own use.Saw Nuu Nu says the army have alsoabused their powers by using thevillagers as unpaid lookouts.‘Since the army came here in 1993 theyhave ordered that everyday a villagerspend a day as a lookout at the armycompound. If any villager fails to turnup the soldiers mark his name and finehim 500 Kyat.’

A senior Karen agriculture officialwarned that displaced villagers in theMae Tha Wa valley region facedsevere food shortages due to cropdestruction by rats and mice.Saw Min Aye, of Pa-an districtagriculture department said.‘Rodents destroyed the villagers hillpaddy fields. They ate all the seeds andhave being eating the young plantssince May.’Saw Min Aye said villagers claimedtheir crops were attacked by threedifferent kinds of rodents.‘The worse are the smallest becausethey come in great numbers. Thesemice had no limits, they came at nightand they came in the day. Theythrashed the rice seedlings.’Saw Min Aye said the small mice camein their thousands.‘I saw one of the villagers kill about10 mice in less than a half hour.’

Saw Min Aye says, the Pa-an DistrictAgriculture Department estimates,rodents destroyed 32 plots of hillpaddy in the Mae Tha Wa valley.‘By the end of the rainy season 187Karen villagers will have no food toeat. Unless we find some way to getfood for them they will be at risk frommalnutrition and other healthproblems.’Villagers told Saw Min Aye that therodent invasion is rare but seems tohappen every time bamboo plants inthe area are in fruit.‘Displaced villagers constantly live withfood shortages, but they try tosupplement their meager rations bygrowing betel leaves to sell to get somemoney to buy food. But this year thebetel leaf will not help to replace theirrice crops destroyed by rats and mice.A spokesperson from the Committeeof Internally Displaced Karen People

Before 1974 Karen villagers living inthe hills of Toungoo district ledcontented lives. Their lands were fertileand they grew rice, vegetables, spicesand animals. They had plenty forthemselves and usually enough leftover to sell. They had time to practicetheir different religions and couldcelebrate traditional ceremonieswithout fear.But in 1974 the Burmese armylaunched their “four cut operation”against the Karen in an attempt to cutoff information, food, recruits andsupport to the Karen army. Humanright abuses became common.Burmese soldiers killed villagers,raped, looted, burnt down villages andstole livestock.People forced from villages becamedisplaced - refugees in their owncountry. Others fled to the Thai borderand lived in refugee camps.The history of internally displacedKaren people began in 1974 and eventhough the situation was bad it was stillmanageable. The remoteness of the

region afforded some security andprotection to villagers.In 1997 the Burmese regime launchedanother military offensive to wipe outthe Karen National Union (KNU) andits army, the KNLA.This “scorched earth” strategyregarded all Karen villagers not undertheir control as enemies. The armydestroyed all basic means of economicsupport saying it was used to supportthe KNLA.The Burmese army deployed threemilitary commands, consisting of 18battalions, in Toungoo district hillregion and forced 12 villages inTantabin Township to relocate.Overcrowded camp conditions forcedvillagers to build cramped bamboohouses with no space to grow food.The Burmese army did not give anyassistance to the villagers, but insteadlooted food and property that thevillagers had brought with them.In 1997 the Burmese army startedconstructing two motor roads in theregion, from Bawgalie village to Bu

Hsa Khi and from Bawgalie toMawchee in Karenni State.To build the roads villagers were usedas forced and unpaid labour. Women,children and elderly people whereforced to carry military supplies andfood for the army.People had to supply their own foodand the soldiers even stole that. Caughtin a vicious abusive cycle people hadno time to do their own work. Theycouldn’t grow food and they had nomoney to buy food.Many fled to the jungle and had nopermanent place to live, no health care,no security and always had to fear thearmy. They eked out a living from wildroots, fruits and vegetables. With noaccess to medical care, many peopledied.From 1997 to 2003 diplaced peoplein Toungoo district had it tough. Therewas little assistance from outside andat times of emergency the Committeeof Internally Displaced Karen People(CIDKP) had difficulty gettingemergency relief to people.

Background of Toungoo districtToungoo district is in the far northof Karen State, bordering withKarenni State in east Burma. It hasrich growing plains and treecovered mountains. It is dividedinto two townships, Thandaung andTan Tabin Township. The peopleliving in the hill region are Karenfarmers. They grow hill rice, betelnut, cardamom, coffee and durian.Villagers also raised chickens, pigs,goats and cattle. Before the “fourcut operation” in 1974, villagerscould get enough food and incomefrom their farms and led relativelypeaceful and happy lives. Between1974 and 1997 although manyparts of the region were takencontrol by the ruling Burmese army,many villagers could still stay in theirown villages. But after the“scorched earth policy” of 1997villages were destroyed and peoplemoved to relocation camps or fledto the jungle or to Thailand.
