webfact Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Since March 11th, about 2,000 ethnic Karen civilians have fled the fighting in Myanmar, to take refuge in the border areas of Mae Sariang and Khun Yuam districts in Thailand’s northernmost province of Mae Hong Son, but most have now returned to Myanmar voluntarily, according to Mae Hong Son Governor Sitthichai Chindaluang on Tuesday. He said that troops from the Naresuan Task Force, which is responsible for security in the border areas in his province, have been deployed to look after the fleeing Karens. The governor claims that the troops have convinced most of the Karens to return to their own country, while the few remaining are expected to return in the next few days.
