Thantlang Under Attack

The news from Thantlang today is just unbearable. The Tatmadaw is firing incendiary rockets and grenades to burn their own cities to the ground. As intended, fires spread quickly from one home to the next, burning residential and commercial areas, as well as several churches and markets. Reports indicate the military struck from 10 am until past 6 pm, relentlessly, with thousands of people forced to leave the area and fleeing with only what they can carry into the surrounding forests.

The rumors are even more disturbing. The Tatmadaw is building camps to imprison those fleeing. They are following through on their divide-and-conquer strategy in the hopes of eradicating and demolishing any and all Chin defense forces entirely, before moving on to do the same to the rest of the country. And still the international community remains silent.

We are concentrating much of our current fundraising effort on the brutal attacks the Chin people are now undergoing. They need medical supplies, shelter, drinking water, food, and more. Please consider making a contribution so we can urgently get it to those groups in critical need.
