BORDER
Request to Burma
on Karen raids
Wassana Nanuam
The Burmese army will be asked next month to prevent
Democratic Karen Buddhist Army raids on Karen refugees in
Thailand.
The Thai military will make the request at the regional border
committee meeting in Kawthaung, Burma, on May 22.
The move came after Lt-Gen Khin Nyunt, secretary 1 of the
State Peace and Development Council, suggested last month in
talks with Gen Chettha Thanajaro, the army chief, that Thailand
execute renegade intruders.
Border problems along the Moei River and at Doi Lang in
Chiang Mai as well as drug smuggling across the border will also
be discussed at the meeting, a source added.
Present at the talks will be the newly-appointed commanders of
the Third Army and of Burma's southeast command.
