September 29, 2025
Throughout September, cases documented by the Human Rights Foundation of Monland (HURFOM) revealed an alarming rise in fears and insecurities in communities across targeted areas of Mon State, Karen State, and the Tanintharyi Region. The junta’s ongoing attacks are worsening and thus contributing to continued concerns over livelihoods and survival. Children are not safe attending school as they are targeted in airstrikes. Doctors and nurses face ongoing threats to their lives and those of their patients, and mortar shells frequently target their clinics. Even sacred places of religious worship have been targeted in violent attacks. No one feels safe.
The ongoing presence and movement of junta troops through villages have left local communities living in constant uncertainty, with many forced to abandon their homes and seek safety elsewhere. Despite repeated displacement and loss, villagers continue to face harassment, arrests, and killings at the hands of junta troops. For many, even the simple act of trying to return home to collect belongings or feed animals has now become a life-threatening risk.
Continuous fighting in Yebyu Township has forced nearly 4,000 villagers from 10 villages to flee their homes, in urgent need of emergency assistance. From August 15 to August 28, clashes broke out almost daily near Mayan Chaung village between junta forces and allied resistance groups, including Mon, Karen, and Dawei revolutionary forces.
