» Just over a month ago on the night of March 27, the Armed Forces Day of Myanmar celebrated with a reception organised in the presence of the military attache and diplomats from various countries in Myanmar's capital city Nay Pyi Taw. Yet on the same day, jet fighters of the despotic Myanmar Army were dispatched for an airstrike on the town of Day Bu Noh Mutraw, where the headquarters of the Karen National Union's (KNU) Brigade 5 is located. The mission caused a number of casualties and sent thousands of villagers running for their lives into the forest and towards the Thai border by the Salween River in Mae Hong Son.
