August 9, 2023

HURFOM: Due to frequent armed clashes and related security concerns, plantations near Maw Ka Nin village, Ye Township, Mon State have been abandoned by the owners.

Plantation owners from Pha Yar, Ka Nin Ka Maw, Aung Thar Yar and Lane Maw Chan villages have not gone to their plantations for a long time.

“The owners from the plantations alongside the road between Maw Ka Nin village and Thanbyuzayat dare not go to their plantation. Armed clashes happen frequently. There have been artillery attacks even without armed clashes. There is also a danger of landmine explosions. The owners are worried about their safety and have stopped going to their plantation,” said a plantation owner from Maw Ka Nin village.

Without an income source, the owners face a daily financial loss.

“As we can’t go to our plantation, our fruits are stolen. Plants are destroyed. Even our huts in the plantation were burnt down. Our plantation is being destroyed and we can’t take care of them,” said an owner of a plantation nearby Lane Maw Chan village.

Ye Township is under martial law but has frequent armed clashes. There have been casualties amongst the innocent villagers, plantation owners and workers due to armed clashes, artillery attacks and landmine explosions.
