Human movement, some are under forced displacement and some may be human trafficking. This is the daily affair in Thai- Burma border, from the north to the south. They called them IDP if they are still in Burma, if they crossed the border they are refugee.
There are refugee in the border camp, there are stateless Burmese in Thailand working illegally for survival, some lucky one was granted refugee status, but many are without identification. The one without identification cannot move out from the refugee camp, some have been there for more than 20 years. Some crossed the legal frontier to work illegally in the city, even move down to Malaysia and some to Singapore(this is remote due to strong control). Malaysia and Thailand become their heaven for living. They are having the threat of human right abuse, and facing emotionally and psychologically deprived environment. Far away from home, from the country......
The video was taken on 11-4-2008, today the story still continue...
If they are deported back to Myanmar, what is their future?
Military Junta promised election in 2010. Can they return to their home after 2010 election? It seems to be remote, the offensive in Kokang, and other border attack did not give any positive sign.....
Cry Burma, cry Myanmar, the world have forgotten you....they are more concern with Tibet, Xinjiang, and other oil producing areas....they forgot Kokang, they forgot North East India(when opium no longer a valued legal commodity like during the Opium War), they are going after the other new commodity(petrol), may be followed by energy, water in near future...They forgot the experience of East Timor a long time ago...and many others that require real help....and they just want to play global politic.....
Cry louder, let the world and superpower hear it.....
After the darkness, there should be sunshine; the Burmese still hope for their sunshine....
Maybe after Christmas....or after New Year....
