webfact Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 THE GOVERNMENT WAS PRESSED today (Jan.18) to get prepared for a probable influx of refugees fleeing fighting across the border from the war-torn Myanmar where many townships have reportedly been seized by armed ethnic rebels. During a weekly interpellation at parliament, Move Forward MP Rangsiman Rome called on the Pheu Thai-led government in general and the National Security Council in particular to review their standard operating procedure for the handling of refugees anticipated to scramble en masse across the Thai-Myanmar border as strife between Tatmadaw government forces and armed ethnic rebel groups inside Myanmar have reportedly been prolonged and escalated. According to the Move Forward MP, Thailand is currently capable of receiving no more than 75,000 refugees whilst hundreds of thousands more would probably escape across the border into Tak’s border districts and elsewhere along the 2,400-kilometre-long shared border. Thailand today is home to an estimated 96,000 refugees from Myanmar, mostly being provided shelter in Mae Sot district of Tak and Mae Sariang district of Mae Hong Son, according to Move Forward MP Tisana Choonhavan.

Burma Bill Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 4 hours ago, webfact said: where many townships have reportedly been seized by armed ethnic rebels. Not quite sure why these refugees are fleeing such townships, which are homes for the ethnic rebels. They are fighting the Terrorist Burmese Military (Tatmadaw) for freedom and democracy for their people. Are these Burmese refugees pro Junta supporters seeking the protection of the Thai Military? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it, most likely they are fleeing shelling from Burmese forces. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
