Junta launches “clearance operation” in villages nearby Dawei Special Economic Zone

HURFOM: On February 25^th, 2025, the military junta and the Russian government signed an agreement to reestablish the Dawei Special Economic Zone in Dawei Township, Tenasserim Division.

On March 11^th, 2025, the Chief Minister of Tenasserim Division U Myat Ko said in a meeting at the Office of the Tenasserim government to begin preparations for the re-establishment of the Dawei Special Economic Zone.

Local villagers have since reported to HURFOM that on March 15^th, 2025, hundreds of junta’s troops advanced into the villages near the project area conducting a “clearance operation”.

On March 24^th, the junta’s troops had battled with local People’s Defense Forces near the “Na Bu Lell Chay Taw Yar” pagoda located in the project area.

Due to the military advance and the armed clash, residents from Na Bu Lell, Pa Ra Dat, Ma Yin Gyi, Ba War, Zar D, Lell Shaung and Htein Gyi villages have fled their homes.

“The economic zone stopped its operation for a long time. Now, the junta plans to restart the project. Lots of junta’s troops have advanced into nearby villages. There are also active armed clashes. That’s why the villagers are frightened and run away,” said a resident.

Monthly Overview: Indiscriminate Attacks by the Military Junta Lead to Widespread Forced Displacement and Ongoing Fears in Southeastern Burma

Civilians are under constant attack and face serious threats to their overall well-being in targeted areas of the Human Rights Foundation of Monland (HURFOM), including Mon State, Karen State, and the Tanintharyi region. The escalation of assaults by the military junta has deprived children of safe pathways to education and seriously undermined livelihood opportunities for families. In a case documented by HURFOM at the beginning of the month, the junta’s violent and unpredictable presence prevented 500 internally displaced people from returning to their villages.

Despite no active fighting around Kyone Long (Old) village in Ye Township, Mon State, junta troops remain stationed in the area, preventing 456 displaced villagers from going home. Junta soldiers set up camp at a monastery in Eye Poke village, creating an atmosphere of fear and insecurity for those who fled.

“We don’t dare to return as long as the military is in the village. It’s simply not safe. Right now, going back home would mean risking our lives,” said a displaced villager.
