This Photo Set shows the consequence of the Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA)’s recruitment incident that occurred in Bu Tho Township, Hpapun District in between August and October 2015. Many of the villagers in Kyaw Pah village tract fled to Myaing Gyi Ngu Town to evade the KNLA’s recruitment. Due to the lack of information, it led them to flee their village and leave their properties, work places and livestock. Schools were closed so children could not access their education. The Photo Set also describes how the KNLA’s Company #4 Company Commander held a consultation meeting with villagers explaining the detailed information on the recruitment and promising to stop the recruitment activity to prevent villagers from fleeing their village. However, many villagers still chose to resettle to Myaing Gyi Ngu Town.
