Report: Women, children among dozens killed in Myanmar

The purported photos of the aftermath of the Christmas Eve massacre in eastern Mo So village, just outside Hpruso township in Kayah state where refugees were sheltering from an army offensive, spread on social media in the country, fueling outrage against the military that took power in February.

The government has not commented on the allegations, but a report in the state-run Myanma Alinn daily newspaper on Saturday said that the fighting near Mo So broke out on Friday when members of ethnic guerrilla forces, known as the Karenni National Progressive Party, and those opposed to the military drove in "suspicious" vehicles and attacked security forces after refusing to stop.

"The bodies were tied with ropes before being set on fire," said the witness, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he feared for his safety. The witness said the villagers and anti-government militia groups left the bodies as military troops arrived near Mo So while the bodies were being prepared for cremation. The fighting was still intense near the village.

A video of the aftermath of the Dec. 7 assault -- apparently retaliation for an attack on a military convoy -- showed the charred bodies of 11 people lying in a circle amid what appeared to be the remains of a hut.

To bad

What a disgusting regime they have there.I wish I wave a magic wands and make it safe.

what happened with covering the story from the 17 people from a missionary group which were kidnapped back in October? Story doesn’t sell anymore? Moving to next page of the agenda? Ordered not to post about it anymore?

Did you know that Myanmar is the formerly called Burma? Our school class read a book in a primary grade(grade 1, 2 or 3) that was called 'Burma Boy'.

So sad!

Oh, that’s definitely sadder than if it was just older men! 🤡
