Breaking:KNU controlled area, #Laykaykaw was airstrikes & bombed by #SAC 15 minutes ago. Even we got intelligence information that military has a plan to airstrikes this area since July, this is the first time that military use airstrikes at this area. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
KAYIN —Over 200 people have fled to Thailand after military jets led a bombing sortie over the Lay Kay Kaw peace village from 10.15 p.m. on Thurs. night. A refugee told DVB that, shortly before the attacks, the junta had promised it would observe a three-day Christmas ceasefire.
#India continues complicity w/ illegal #Myanmar junta. As the junta carried out indiscriminate airstrikes, @HarshShringla opened a biz hub for Indian Chamber of Commerce, led by junta-linked #Adani. Also discussed implementing Kaladan project with illegitimate junta. Despicable.
❌REPREHENSIBLE Australia, India, Japan, South Korea, NZ & US joined "counter-terrorism" meeting "CHAIRED" by #Myanmar military, a terrorist org‼️
🛑These govs are legitimising terrorist junta + giving fodder for propaganda as airstrikes & shelling against civilians intensifies!
On my recent mission to Bangladesh, Rohingya refugees expressed eagerness to return to Myanmar & dismay it is unsafe to do so. They deserve a safe, dignified return home. I thank Bangladesh for hosting me & for giving Rohingya refuge. Mission statement:

Burma doesn't manufacture aviation fuel. The jets or drones bombing Karen State tonight are flying with fuel bought overseas. Suppliers are complicit in violations of international law. It's time to sanction the supply of aviation fuel to the Burmese military.

The Burmese military has just attacked Lay Kay Kaw with air strikes tonight. The majority of displaced people in Karen State have been displaced by air strikes and are unable to return because of the threat of airstrikes. Sanction aviation fuel now!
