Burmese military air attacks in Ma Mu village, Mutraw, killed a 4 year old boy and injured 12 villagers. All 12 houses in that small village were destroyed, 12 Dec 2025. The Burmese military have been escalating airstrikes and military offensives across the country ahead of their sham elections.

An article that everyone working on Burma should read. Even though the article is about the Karen, it shares similar situation of what is happening across the country. The article is by Naw Wahkushee, Director at Karen Peace Support Network, published by Mizzima.

Birmanie: «Aucun espoir que la situation s'améliore et que les Rohingyas puissent rentrer chez eux»
Il y a huit ans, plus d'un million de Birmans appartenant à la minorité musulmane des Rohingyas, persécutés par l'armée birmane, fuyaient vers le Bangladesh voisin. Aujourd'hui encore, ces réfugiés vivent dans des camps surpeuplés et ne peuvent pas retourner dans leur pays ravagé par la guerre civile. Mark Farmaner, directeur de Burma Campaign, ONG qui milite pour les droits humains et la démocratie en Birmanie, regrette que justice n'ait toujours pas été rendue aux victimes.
