- Due to the persuasion and instigation of KNDF and PDF terrorists, the PNLO terrorist group committed terror acts against their ethnic Pa-O with intimidation for terrorism administration and building their power in the region without sympathy. As a result, the region lost peace and stability, whereas locals suffered a loss of socioeconomic life.
- Hence, as residents did not totally accept the terror acts of unfaithful PNLO terrorists, Pa-O national races from villages around Hsihseng gathered their strengths and joined hands with Tatmadaw and people’s militia (local) in reclaim Hsihseng region from the combined terrorists as quickly as possible.
The government and the Tatmadaw are now actively engaged in rehabilitation efforts, and the displaced ethnic residents are returning to their homes, resuming their peaceful lives and work, it is reported.
