Two months after driving Myanmar’s military out of the southern Chin State town of Mindat, Chin resistance forces have invited residents to return to rebuild their lives.
On Sunday, the Mindat Township People’s Administration Organisation (PAO) issued a statement declaring that the town, with a pre-conflict population of more than 10,000, is now safe enough for civilians to resettle.
“They are now able to return and resettle here. We have cleared approximately 95 percent of the mines,” Yaw Marn, a spokesperson for the Mindat Township PAO, told Myanmar Now.
