The people of the SPP hope that the international community will intervene and help oust the dictatorial SAC/ Myanmar Army which has illegally attempted to take control of the country, killed countless of civilians, and endangered the lives of millions of civilians. @BBC

We condemn the killing of a baby and a woman by the Burmese military on 29th January 2022. We call on the international community to sanction the members of the military who commanded attacks on civilians on 29th and 30th January 2022.

4 more Burmese military airstrikes in Karen State today. The Burmese military is indiscriminately bombing civilian areas. It is a war crime. We need to see Burma to be referred to the International Criminal Court.

Update about displaced Karen people due to Burma Army's air bombing [4 April 2021]
I can't find a good word to describe this pain. We ran that time because the fighting broke out in our village. Now the Burma Military bombed the area very close to our village. We are tired.

[Salween Peace Park @SalweenP]

We were exhausted. So we decided to just stay on our Karen land and hide. Now we have little rice left, only enough for two more meals. It is really hard for us.
