Anti-junta group moves to sell land on ancient Tanintharyi historic site

An anti-junta group is moving to sell land in the historic Thargaya City of Myanmar’s Tanintharyi Region, raising questions about control and development in the conflict-hit area, according to local sources. Last week, the Ba Htoo Army, a resistance group active in Tanintharyi Region, and local businesspeople used heavy machinery to level and fill land near Myohaung Village in Launglon Township. The site, located near the ancient city walls, is reportedly being prepared for sale.
