HURFOM, Second Week of October
Over the last week, a devastating airstrike claimed the lives of dozens of civilians, including women and children in Kachin State. The Human Rights Foundation of Monland (HURFOM) condemned the attack on civilians, including women and children, who were sheltering in an IDP camp when the attacks were launched. The violence against our communities must end. HURFOM amplified our calls for justice for the victims of this harrowing assault.
Even amid these atrocities, the international community, including the United Nations, has refused to name the perpetrator of the air and ground strikes perpetrated by the Burma Army. It is deeply unfortunate that despite the many opportunities to stand with the people, global actors engage with a terrorist regime responsible for the deaths of innocent villagers who have only wanted to live in peace for decades.
