About 60 people from different villages under Paletwa township in Chin State fled to IDP camps inside
Rakhine State recently as the military
continues arresting the villagers suspecting their links with the Arakan Army (AA).
Among those from Chin State, more than 20 people hail from
Sein Sin Wa village and
about 30 from Thamin village. The
group of people includes mothers with children and pregnant women too.
Those fleeing from Sein Sin Wa
village are presently taking shelter in Mahamuni IDP camp under Kyauktaw
township and those from Thamin village
are now in Nyaung Chaung refugee camp under the same township.
A woman from Sein Sin Wa village,
who also fled from their place, stated that
the army had accused them of working for AA members. Homes are raided with the accusation of
maintaining links with the AA.
Some Rakhine
people also left the Chin locations where the infighting between the army personnel and Chin People's Defense
Forces (CPDF) continues,
said Nyaung Aye refugee camp in-charge Than Aye.
"They said there were clashes between the army and CPDF in their Paletwa Township. They were apprehensive about their return to their home places and hence made hurries,” he added.
